About this house rental
In the middle of the maquis and yet less than 2km from the beach, come and discover our little paradise.
Built on a rocky ridge, at an altitude of 200 m, the village of Meria dominates its marina, which has no port.
The town is made up of seven districts: Aghia, Casale, Cortalina, Croce, Lingulina, Puggiale and Serdulacciu. Casale, the oldest, contains a chapel of the Sant'Erasmu brotherhood created in 1774 to replace a brotherhood founded in 1599, and which until 1923 provided remarkable processions to the Navy via the San Paolo church, particularly Good Friday with lanterns, crosses and embroidered banners.
The village has a Genoese tower and the Palazzu, a remarkable 14th century house with a drawbridge. This construction was saved from ruin around 1975. There is also the San Roccu church dating from the 17th century and which contains two listed works, one from the 1st century.
More than 1,000 m south of the village, in the middle of the maquis, are the ruins of the Santa Catarina chapel. A developed path provides access. Its departure towards the north is located in Campu (Luri) via the San Salvadore chapel “straddling” the two towns.
1,000 m southeast of the village are the remains of the village of Caraco, abandoned around 1925. This place included a San Sebastianu chapel and a dozen houses. Caraco (171 m above sea level) is reached by a path of approximately 1.5 km through maquis, starting from the village of Meria.
North of Caraco the places of San Guiseppe, San Giovanni and Santa Maria bear witness to the disappeared sanctuaries.
