The pretty village of Araggio attracts a few visitors each summer who come to admire the Castellu d'Araggio; the old fortress and its dungeon dates back to around 1500bc. The walk to the site is 30 minutes from the villa, and the views from the top quite breathtaking. In the village itself is a good traditional restaurant called l'Oree du Site which is just 5 minutes walk away. The lovely beaches of St Cyprien and Cala Rossa are about 10 minutes drive, and the centre of Porto Vecchio, full of bars, restaurants and boutiques is only 6km away.
      When you arrive at Les Chenes your senses are immediately aroused by the fragrant odours coming from the blend of herbs and plants throughout the garden.
