Villas in Santa Maria Navarrese

About Santa Maria Navarrese

Santa Maria Navarrese grew up in the 1950s around a medieval church, and it still reads as a village rather than a strip of hotels. A 17th-century watchtower stands on the beach, wild olive trees said to be a thousand years old fill the main square, and maquis scrub covers the slopes behind. Homes sit close together in one part of the village, and a good share have a garden. Baunei, the mountain town it belongs to, is inland. The Selvaggio Blu trekking route starts here, which makes the place as much a walking base as a beach stop.
