bike rental Monticello

Monticello, nestled on Corsica's west coast, is the perfect place to explore by bike. Get on a two-wheeler and explore the maritime panoramas, olive-tree-covered hills and old hilltop villages at your own pace. The small, winding roads offer spectacular views of the Bay of Calvi and the Sanguinaires Islands, while the scent of maquis accompanies you along the way.

For an accessible ride, set off from the center of Monticello towards Île-Rousse: an almost flat stretch of coast skirting creeks and sandy beaches. On the way, stop off at the Genoese tower of La Mortella before heading off to the bustling market of the nearby town. For the more sporty, opt for a loop to Sant'Antonino, one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", perched at over 500 m altitude. On the way back through the hills, you'll pass vineyards and admire breathtaking panoramas.
