Case Del Conte between coastal forest, beach and trails
Accommodation in Case Del Conte
Coastal landscape with many facets
Case del Conte can be discovered not only through its beach, but also through its landscape, small structures and trails. The various sites offer different highlights: hills and coastal areas appeal to nature lovers, while chapels and local landmarks add a cultural dimension. When planning your trip, you can focus on these highlights at Baia Arena, Ripe Rosse and along the area's trails.
Aleppo pines and Ripe Rosse
Beyond the town of Case del Conte, an Aleppo pine forest covers the hills. This forest also shapes the route of a panoramic coastal road by the sea. Ripe Rosse is a landscape of particular scenic and natural interest. The coastal area of Ripe Rosse is classified in Montecorice's Piano Urbanistico Comunale as an APA area, meaning an environmental protection area. Along the SS 267, Ripe Rosse extends from the old town centre on the high coast up to an altitude of approximately 150 m. For travellers who wish to combine a coastal drive with observing nature, the forest, high coast and sea offer different viewpoints here. When planning your day, Ripe Rosse can be considered as a distinct landscape section alongside the panoramic coastal road.
Baia Arena and beach vegetation
Baia Arena is a sandy beach and offers one of the rare examples of beach vegetation. This vegetation also includes sea lilies. Nature lovers can observe not only the sandy beach at Baia Arena, but also the sea lilies and the rest of the beach vegetation.
Chapels in Case del Conte
The sacred buildings also provide the area with concrete cultural points of reference. The Cappella di San Donato is located in the hamlet of Giungatelle, in the Case del Conte district of Montecorice. The San Pasquale chapel also stands in the lower part of Case del Conte. Culture enthusiasts can therefore view specific sacred buildings as part of the local landscape.
Trails between the beach and coastal landscape
Two trail routes are important for hikers. The fourth stage, “Cammino delle Terre della Dieta Mediterranea – COLLI DEL CORVO”, reaches the beach of Case del Conte and passes by the Torre dell'Arena. The “Ripe Rosse n. 704” trail in the hamlet of Case del Conte is part of the Trans Parco Costiero, or TPC for short. Hikers can therefore base their choice in Case del Conte on the beach, Torre dell'Arena and its TPC classification.
Local landmarks and access
From the SS 267, after the bridge over the Rio dell'Arena, an intermunicipal road leads to the newly developed hamlets of Giungatelle and Mainolfi. For access, this sequence of the SS 267, bridge and intermunicipal road provides a concrete spatial reference.
