Sari-Solenzara (French pronunciation: [saʁi sɔlɛntsaʁ(a)]; Corsican: Sari è Sulinzara; formerly in French: Sari-de-Porto-Vecchio, Italian: Sari di Porto Vecchio, Corsican: Sari di Portivechju) is a commune and municipality in the French department of Corse-du-Sud, on the island of Corsica. It is delineated by several natural borders: the Tyrrhenian Sea to its east, the River Solenzara to its north, and to its west the Aiguilles de Bavella, a beautiful mountain at the heart of the island. A rural district, it essentially consists of two settlements: the larger seaside village of Solenzara, and the smaller hilltop village of Sari. Smaller outlying hamlets include Togna, Canella, Tarcu and Favona. Highly mountainous and forested, Sari-Solenzara falls partially within the Alta Rocca district of the Corsican Regional Nature Reserve.
