Oreta is the most central hamlet, and not incidentally, the only hamlet which still has a bar, a restaurant, a school and a town hall. This hamlet is in two parts: Oreta suprana (the top) et Oreta suttana (the bottom). The square tower which used to dominate Oreta suprana lies in ruins, overrun by maquis. This part of the hamlet has got a small plaza where several paths converge. The hamlet itself is a quaint mix of noble buildings, simple dwellings and more recent villas. But a certain charm remains. A former mill, remodeled and used as a B&B, still exists, as well as the Mulinu vivu, a grain mill restored by Petra Viva. The bar has closed in September 2009 but the hamlet still has a lively ambiance.
