Geography
Appietto is located 17 km from Ajaccio, and stretches from the Gozzi mount to the coastline of the Gulf of Lava. This historic village culminates at 480 meters, while the rest of the town consists of several ancient villages (Volpaja, Lava Listincone, Picchio, Piscia Rossa) and recent subdivisions (Monté Nebbio, Chiosu Vecchiu, Vanghone, Filletta).
The Ruisseau de Lava flows through the commune from east to west.[2] It enters the sea in the Golfe de Lava, which has been designated a Natura 2000 site.[3]
