Located 600 m above sea level, the chateau offers a breathtaking view of Ajaccio up to the entrance of the Gulf of Porto over the surrounding mountains and over Monte Cinto, the highest mountain in Corsica (2706 m).
Its location gives it a theoretical panorama of mountains on mainland Europe stretching from near Marseille to Rome.

On May 26, 1883, a party led by the English mountaineer Francis Fox Tuckett, and including the guide F. Devouassoud and the landscape painter Compton, also ascended the mountain by the pass that now bears Tuckett's name.
Its source is in the mountainous middle of the island, south of Monte Cinto.
