Cardo, the village on the heights of Bastia. Google Maps map.
Cardo is the village from which Bastia grew: it is one of the first inhabited places in the municipality, well before the Genoese bastion of 1380, and its residents used to come down to the harbour to fish. The village stayed separate from the town until it was attached to it, and it keeps that form, clinging to the slope a few kilometres above the port.
The heart of the village is laid out around the place de l'Église, in a fabric of stone houses and stepped lanes whose names have remained Corsican, A Scallinata, Chjassu Ficaccia, U Pughjale Suttanu. The route de Ville-di-Pietrabugno and the Cardo roads link the village to the rest of the municipality, across the wooded slopes of the hillside.
On the market, Cardo sits at around 2 864 €/m² for an apartment, slightly below the town average, on a volume of around 19 sales a year that makes the average sensitive to recent transactions. The district has risen by around 15 % over five years and by around 10 % over the last twelve months, one of the firmest trends in Bastia.
Cardo attracts buyers looking for quiet, views and a village setting a short drive from the centre of Bastia. Demand focuses on the stone houses of the village and on apartments in the small residential blocks of the hillside, where the sea view and the access shape the price. The small number of annual sales makes the local market illiquid.
The average price at Cardo is 2 864 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 2 388 to 3 402 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
