Feliceto (; ) is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica.
Feliceto is a commune in Balagne, one of the 19 communes that form the Canton of Belgodère. It borders the Corsica Regional Natural Park and has no coastline.
Feliceto is located in "crystalline Corsica," composed of magmatic rocks. Its lowland section is part of the Regino basin, which is formed from Quaternary sediments. Like the many "balcony villages" of Regino, the commune is perched on the flank of a secondary ridge that separates the Regino valley from the Calenzana plain, extending to Capu d'Occi () above Lumio. To the south, it is flanked by the mountain range of the Monte Grosso massif, surrounded by a ridgeline composed of the peaks Monte al Prato (), Capu alla Forcella (), Cima di Cuzzia (), Cima Caselle (), San Parteo ()âÂÂstraddling Feliceto and PioggiolaâÂÂand Punta di Accenata (). It occupies part of the Regino valley with several hills, including Monte Longu (), Capu a i Mori (), Scolca (), and Capu di Custa (). The commune is a long strip of land extending north to Lake Codole, "constricted" in the middle by the inhabited area, the village, and its two hamlets. Its southern part is formed by the upper Regino valley.
The Regino rises within the commune, west and very close to San Parteo (), at an altitude of . It flows through the village, waters the eponymous plain, and feeds Lake Codole, a reservoir of which Feliceto owns the southern portion.
The high mountain range is the source of numerous springs. This "felicity" is where the village draws its name. Four springs are tapped to supply the commune. Below the ridgeline with its bare rocky walls, the setting is verdant, wooded with oak, pine, and chestnut trees on the heights. Olive trees appear from the village down to the Regino plain, where the vineyards of the Renucci and Maestracci estates are located.
As with much of Balagne, Feliceto is exposed to dominant westerly winds, which are strong and frequent, such as the libeccio and the tail-ends of the mistral. However, temperature fluctuations are moderate due to the maritime influence. Summers are dry, and the risk of wildfire is high.
Flooding is another significant natural risk. The commune has experienced several recent disasters:
