Dating back to the times of the Roman Empire, Porto-Vecchio is as picturesque and charming as any town in the Mediterranean. This gorgeous apartment sits in a renovated 19th-century building in the heart of the Old Town and offers stunning views in every direction. Inside, cool off from the midday heat in the air-conditioned living space while enjoying the natural light and views across the town. Our favourite bit is the expansive roof terrace, the ideal place to gather for soaking up the Corsican sunshine. The well-shaded dining area has its own barbecue so you can sit down to eat alfresco at lunchtime. There’s also a relaxing chill-out area, with wicker furniture and beanbags overlooking the Mediterranean sea below. If you can tear yourself away from your home's many little luxuries, you're only a fifteen-minute walk from a sandy beach and the charming marina filled with bobbing yachts, while just outside your door, the Old Town offers up restaurants, bars and plenty of cultural attractions including the impressive Église St-Jean-Baptiste.

Set amongst the gleaming piazzas and pastel-coloured houses of L'Île-Rousse, enjoy the Meditterean pace of life at this traditional Corsican Casa.

This lovely home has heaps of rustic charm, with exposed wooden-beams, giant windows and a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the town. Independent shops, seafood restaurants - and of course, the beach - is right on your doorstep.

Immersed in a sanctuary of trees with views across the sea and mountains, this contemporary apartment invites you to experience the abundant beauty of southern Corsica. And with the nearest beach just a five-minute stroll away, there’s everything you could need for a relaxing stay on the shores of this beautiful Mediterranean island. 

Inside, you’ll find the open-plan living space makes the perfect setting for laid-back gatherings, cooking in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoying the quiet simplicity of the location. From here, the doors open up onto a private terrace. With outdoor seating and a barbecue, this is a wonderful spot to gaze at the views whilst savouring the magic of outdoor living. And when you’re in need of a refreshing dip, make your way to the shared swimming pool or wander down to the local beach. 

Days can be spent exploring Corsica’s glistening coastline. From charming towns and majestic forests to rugged mountain peaks and idyllic beaches, you’ll find endless opportunities for hiking, sightseeing and meditating on the spectacular beauty of nature. And for a taste of the island’s rich and immersive history, the city of Ajaccio is just a thirty-minute drive away.

We love the uninterrupted bucolic views from this contemporary home on the outskirts of Porto Vecchio. The location gives you the best of both worlds —you're within easy reach of Corsica’s answer to St. Tropez (it’s a 10-minute walk to the edge of town) but you can come home to relax in the quiet countryside. The big terrace has bags of space for everyone, and a barbecue to boot. Here you’ll find it easy to unwind after a busy day pounding the picturesque city streets, biking, hiking or just making the most of the island’s beautiful beaches. Inside, this modern apartment pops with a fun touch of 70s nostalgia. The giant statement circular mirror, splashes of burnt orange and wrap-around wooden panels ensure the living area is a focal point, although it's still very much a comfortable place to kick back — so stock up the fridge with wine and make yourself at home.

Lounge by the pool surrounded by verdant trees and listen to the bird song when you stay at this villa in the hamlet Trinité de Porto-Vecchio. We adore the views over the Corsican countryside from the balcony (one of two). Have a game of boules, then fire up the barbecue for lunch or head to the modern kitchen and whip up some aziminu (Corsican bouillabaisse). There are more of those fabulous vistas from inside too. The open plan living space, with its wood floors, white-washed walls, and a log burner, is perfect for entertaining. This place is ideal for a family or group of friends.

This home is just 2 kilometres from the sea, 5 kilometres from Cala Rossa beach and 4 kilometres from Porto-Vecchio, with its narrow streets lined with shops, bars and restaurants.

From the moment you step inside this home, you’ll be drawn out onto the terrace. Secluded and serene, it has the most stunning views across the bay of Ajaccio – a sight we’re sure you’ll never tire of. 

Wander back inside, and this home gives a very distinct nod to its surroundings. Pops of teal and blue are peppered throughout this apartment, mirroring the tones of the ocean outside, and with coastal decor adorning the walls and shelves. It’s compact but comfortable with that little touch of class, making it the ideal base for exploring the local area. 

Locally, you may want to visit the old town of Ajaccio or perhaps you long to feel the sand between your toes – if so, you’re in luck, as Porticcio beach is just a short four-minute drive away. After a day of adventure, return home, pour yourself a glass of wine, and head onto your terrace where you can snuggle up on the sofa. As the day draws to an end, watch as the sun sets over the Iles Sanguinaires (The Blood Islands) – named for their dark red colour. As the sky turns from its orange glow to black, look up at the blanket of stars above. With just the sound of the ocean and the feel of the breeze tickling your skin, you won’t find a better way to end the day.

Located within a vast, rural estate and surrounded by pomegranate and olive trees, this captivating Corsican home really does have it all. Boasting mesmerising Cagna Mountain views, terraced gardens and an outdoor pool and hot tub, this heavenly home guarantees a hefty dose of good, old-fashioned R & R. Dating back to the mid-19th century this former school features a rustic, farmhouse-style kitchen and an open-plan living and dining room complete with terracotta tiled floors and beautifully vaulted, wooden ceilings.  

You’ll love tucking into your daily delivery of home-made pastries before whiling away hours lazing on loungers in the sun, dipping in and out of the pool or luxuriating in your private, outdoor hot tub. Prepare firm family favourites on the range in the kitchen or hang out in the outdoor kitchen, before feasting on barbecued delights on the covered, poolside deck. Spend the afternoon reading or reclining on the raised terracotta terrace or wander about the garden while inhaling the intoxicating scents of eucalyptus and maquis. Whatever you do, don’t forget to host a hammam session before grabbing a bottle of the estate’s fine wine and watching the sunset behind the mountains.

Alternatively, if you fancy a little light exploration, one of the island’s most idyllic beaches, Plage de Roccapina is just 14km away whilst the historic village of Sartène can be reached in 20 minutes by car.

Perched high above the sea in the village of Monticello in Upper Corsica, this elegant villa has everything you need for a quiet, coastal retreat. Inside, earthy tones mix with comfortable furniture that invites you to relax. We love the cosy living room, with leather sofas for you to kick back and watch a movie after a day enjoying all that this stretch of coastline has to offer. There’s no extravagance here, and there’s no attempt to distract from everything the outside space has to offer, which is something that really sets this villa apart. 

Step out onto your sun-drenched terrace and you’re met with a sea so blue, it’s hard to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. Your private pool welcomes you in for a refreshing dip and is somewhere you could easily while away the hours as the sun warms your skin. When dry land calls, settle down on a sun lounger with your holiday read and get lost in a story. In such a peaceful setting, all you’ll hear is the quiet song of the birds in the surrounding trees.

When you’re ready for a change of scenery, there are plenty of boutiques and local markets to peruse, perhaps picking up some delicious local produce to take home and rustle up a dinner to enjoy alfresco under the stars.

Indoor Pool

Offering everything you need for a serene island break, this charming two-bedroom apartment is located close to the crescent-shaped white sand beach, gentle lapping waves and beach bars of family-friendly Lozari in Corsica's less-explored north-west corner.

Its central living room and kitchen acts as the hub of the home, with the twin bedroom and main bathroom leading off it. Large bifold doors open out onto a balcony shaded by canvas sails to keep you from getting scorched beneath cloudless Corsican skies. Meanwhile, there's a double bedroom upstairs, complete with its own shower and basin.

After spending a couple of days unwinding close to home, you might find yourself with an urge to explore the area. Head east along winding mountain roads to the untamed landscapes of the Agriates Desert, before continuing on to Saint-Florent, its imposing 15th-century citadel looming large on the horizon.

Alternatively, drive south along the coast to the Riviera-style seaside town of Île Rousse for a taste of Corsican luxury. After perusing its upmarket boutiques, why not continue to Calvi? The island's cultural capital benefits from a bustling atmosphere and awe-inspiring views over the bay.


Stay the Corse

First Aid Kit

Located on the idyllic rugged island of Corsica, this duplex apartment is a wonderful choice for a family or friends getaway. It combines contemporary living with seaside charm beautifully, with hues of blue, sandy woods, and accents of rattan exuding a laid-back vibe. 

You'll be in awe of this home as soon as you step through the front door. The wide patio doors invite the dazzling natural light to flood, dancing off the pristine surfaces and white walls. You'll naturally feel compelled to step onto the balcony, where you'll be met with a gorgeous view of the Mediterranean sea, backed by majestic mountains. And to make good use of its enviable location, the home boasts another outdoor space on the lower ground floor. We can imagine you'll be spending most of your time in these outdoor spaces – savouring a fresh morning coffee, nursing an afternoon glass of wine, or preparing a barbecue feast for dinner. 

Exploring Pietrosella and the rest of Corsica comes easy here. Go for a revitalising morning swim in the nearby cove, just a three-minute walk away, or spend lazy days relaxing on one of the nearby beaches, the closest being just an eight-minute drive away. The island is known for its dramatically beautiful hikes nearly as much as its idyllic beaches – there are so many valleys and trails to explore.

In the rugged south of Corsica, near Bonifacio, sits this chalet-like retreat in the hills. Wood-clad outside, it blends in with the rolling scenery, where ancient woodlands cover the hills like a deep green blanket. It’s a ten-minute drive into Bonifacio, an ancient port town with a buzzing marina and medieval hilltop citadel. The villa itself is set in field-like lawns where a shady olive grove invites you for an afternoon stroll. The turquoise swimming pool sits pride of place on the deck and is lined with loungers. Outdoor dining is on offer under the shaded terrace, framed by ivy. Inside it feels natural with wooden walls and a white-wash vaulted ceiling. Floor to ceiling windows show off a view of the flowering garden on all sides and the huge corner sofa is big enough to fit the whole family easily. There’s something bohemian yet sleek about the decor, where a collection of books and records sit on shelves and touches like the tree-branch standing lamp and raw wood coffee table are a reflection of the ancient woodlands just beyond your front door.   

To The Citadel

Self Check-in / Check-out

With a glittering sea view, a delightful terrace, and a swimming pool for cooling off, this apartment is a great choice for a sunny getaway. With everything you need for a comfortable stay, couples and small families will love this base for exploring Grosseto-Prugna and the idyllic Corsica island.

The interior has taken on a simple, modern design, with a well-equipped kitchen, bar-style table, and plush sofa. The bright space is open and welcoming. Whether you're sipping coffee around the table and planning the day ahead, or reading your book on the sofa after a day of exploring, relaxing will come easy here. 

The home's shining jewel, however, is the spacious terrace. With a lovely view of flower-dotted bushes, luscious trees, the glittering Mediterranean sea, and the curved hills, it's a great space to relax and soak up the sun. And if you fancy cooling off, take the short walk to your pool for a quick dip. Or, pack your beach towel and walk the ten minutes to the sugary white sand beach and crystal clear waters. When you get peckish for some lunch, the town of Porticcio is nearby with its restaurants, bars, and markets.

Crisp Sea Air

Sitting between the sea and the mountains, this villa is the ultimate retreat for a relaxing family holiday or friendly get-together in the Med. Inside, it’s a blend of contemporary and traditional styles. There’s an elegant living space with a wood-burning fire to keep you toasty if you’re visiting during the cooler months and sleek walk-in showers in the bathrooms for rinsing sandy toes after long summer days spent exploring the coast. 

Chop, season and grill local produce in the summer kitchen then plate up your creations at the dining table. Once you’re replete, spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the private pool or slap on your suncream and unwind on Arinella Bianca Beach, a twelve-minute drive away. If you’re the type who likes to keep active on your holidays, head over to the Trou du Diable hiking area. Return home in the evening for a glass of well deserved wine on the fragrant terrace before retreating to the quiet bedrooms for a deep and restful slumber. 

Nurra's Orchid

This modern apartment is located in a beautiful, newly-built residence on the outskirts of Porto Vecchio, just a short walk from the town centre.

In our opinion, a trip to Corsica is always a good idea. The scenery is exquisite, the food a marvel, and the beaches are something from a dream. We love this pretty stone house in the seaside resort of Moriani Plage – it’s a splendid base for a family or a group of friends. 

The house is simple and bright, with a neutral colour scheme that lends itself to relaxation. There’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together, whether it’s around the piano in the living room or in the dining room. When the sun is shining, you’ll want to be outside to enjoy every last second of it. Happily, there’s a wonderful garden here. Little ones will love playing on the lawn, while grown-ups might prefer sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine. There’s a hammock to doze in, and a barbecue for alfresco meals – we’d be buying some fresh seafood for sure. 

This home is in a quiet residential area so you’ll really be able to relax and unwind. That’s not to say that it’s a sleepy spot though – Padullela Park is across from the house, with its tennis courts and play area. Moriani Beach is a seven-minute walk from the house, and you can stroll for a gelato a couple of minutes away. If you feel like being a bit more active, you might try your hand at jet skiing or sailing. Hikers will love exploring the Costa Verde trails. There’s something for everyone here. 


Un Verre De Vin

Wine Cooler

Sun Umbrellas

This awesome architect designed villa boasts a blissful combination of inimitable indulgences – including a balcony, multi-layered gardenscape, outdoor swimming pool and an alfresco lounging, barbecuing and dining terrace – all with sublime sea views. Such mesmerising Mediterranean scenes can also be appreciated from the open plan kitchen cum dining cum living room as well as from the master bedroom, while the additional bedrooms offer access to the garden. While gazing out to sea you’ll love lazing on the outdoor sofa, taking the plunge in your private pool, feasting alfresco on barbecued delights and sneaking off for a sundowner with your beloved on the balcony.  

A sculptural spectacle in its own right featuring a carefully curated series of beautifully and individually decorated rooms, this cool, contemporary Corsican home will wow both the artsy and the outdoorsy. You’ll delight in the diversity that is wall paper meets marble tiles as well as the celebration of the cohesive use of contrasting and yet complementary colour combinations.

Your home’s unique location on the outskirts of the village of Erbalunga – remarkable for its 16th-century Genoese tower built on a rock at the entrance to the port – means you’ll not only be able to pop to the shops, but also sample the several restaurants dotted around its central square. What’s more, with the beach only a ten-minute drive away, the more adventurous among you will appreciate the opportunity to hike, dive and canoe.


Sea for Days

Making a stunning first impression with its terracotta-coloured walls and shutters, the real show-stopping feature of this home is actually found around the back where a large, arching window acts as a portal between the indoor space and the lush garden, and the sea views beyond that. 

Sit outside, without the barrier of glass or walls, first thing in the morning and take a moment for coffee and contemplation as you bask in the tranquillity on offer here. Little ones can run around, inspecting hedges and smelling flowers, as they let their imaginations go.  

Cook in the kitchen, where the beautiful stained-glass panels and yellow tiles will brighten any day, and eat the offerings together at the dining table. 

The beach lies at the other end of a ten-minute drive, and you’re about five minutes away from the most breathtaking panoramic views at Sant-Antonino. Explore Aregno itself – every hamlet has something else to offer – and return home after stopping off at a pizzeria to dine alfresco at sunset. 

Arcus

Tennis Court

On a French island with a distinct Italian culture, this apartment is surrounded by classic Corsican landscape and carefree Mediterranean charm. The craggy coastline and chic coastal towns are perfect for a discerning holiday-maker, but this tonal abode will tick all the right boxes too. Sleek, uncrowded interiors give way to a wrap-around balcony with mountain views, and the openness of the outdoor space makes it feel like an extension of the already spacious apartment. It’s definitely a spot that calls for your attention, be it for a croissant breakfast or an indulgent evening meal. Feel the blissful sun on your skin, while relaxing on the sun loungers, after a dip in the pool. Or get set off to explore the island —with Porto-Vecchio just a ten-minute drive away, plus lots of biking and hiking trails nearby, there truly is something for everyone. Not to mention, you’ll only be 3km from the beach! 

Coconut Suncream

If you're looking to be close to the sandy beaches and turquoise water coves of Corsica, then this modern apartment is the place for you. Situated close to Ajaccio, in the charming town of Pietrosella, you're surrounded by unspoilt countryside and rolling hills with the shimmering sea always in full view, especially from your private terrace. 

Days begin out here, tucking into a French breakfast of tasty pastries and coffee as you pack your seaside essentials for a day down on Agosta Beach, a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. Inside, it's a stylish affair with brown leather furnishings and chic decor. Flop down on the sofa and relax in the afternoons with a good glass of wine, slide open the balcony doors, instantly expanding your communal space. 

When it's time to head back out, we recommend a visit to the vast wine estates of Capitoro and Omasca, only twenty minutes away by car. Fill your evenings at the charming port city of Ajaccio, a half-hour drive away, enjoying excellent seafood restaurants and a couple of sundown cocktails along the sparkling harbour. 

From Hill to Sea

Overlooking the red rocks of L'Île-Rousse, this captivating Corsican getaway offers a welcome respite from your usual routine. We invite you to while away a few hours gazing out over the endless blue of the Mediterranean from the inviting pool or stepping straight out of bed and onto the balcony from the main bedroom.

Inside, the decor is simple and uncluttered, leaving the views to take the limelight. The colour palette makes use of neutral earth tones to create a relaxing atmosphere, with the occasional piece of eye-catching artwork or imposing sculpture to add to the visual interest.

It's a similar story in the kitchen, where you can prepare group meals looking out over the garden. Though your hosts' hotel is so close, there's always the temptation to head there for an indulgent breakfast buffet.

No trip to Corsica would be complete without at least a day or two spent exploring. With spectacular mountain vistas, hilltop fortress villages and picture-perfect beaches, the La Balagne is well worth your time. We'd suggest hiring a car to explore at your own pace, discovering historic settlements such as Pigna, woodland trails and beach restaurants that look out over secluded coves. Alternatively, take the U Trinichellu train as far as the vibrant city of Calvi, passing beautiful beaches and quaint seaside towns along the route.

Live from Red Rocks

Enjoy a relaxing Corsica holiday with a stay at this bright and comfortable apartment, offering spectacular views from its huge terrace. Situated in a peaceful and picturesque neighbourhood, this home is within walking distance from the beach and the town centre. 

This pad is a great choice for a family or a small group of friends, with a generous living space ideal for kicking back and relaxing after long beach days. Enjoy movie evenings on the comfy sofa and rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen. You'll be able to share your feasts outside on the terrace, as the sun begins to set over the horizon. There’s also a gas plancha out here, making it even easier to organise those alfresco suppers. 

Everyone will get a good night’s rest in the comfy bedrooms with additional sleeping spaces in the living room. Wake up refreshed and start your day with breakfast on the terrace while you plan your adventures. 

Aside from the glorious beaches, you’ll also love exploring the old port of L'Île-Rousse, known as the Saint-Tropez of Corsica, with its winding streets lined with charming cafes and the famous Place Paoli, known as the favourite spot for petanque fans.

Enchanting Seaside Haven

Sauna

Looking out over beautifully manicured gardens and glimpses of the Mediterranean, we think you'll spend hours on this home's large balcony with a glass of local wine in hand – there’s plenty of room out here for lounging and dining. Fling open the French doors in the morning and have a breakfast of buttery croissants from the boulangerie just steps away, and enjoy them with the view from the stylish living room dining table. There’s plenty to keep you occupied – go for a dip in the bay, or top up your tan on the soft, powdery white sands of nearby Pinarellu Beach – we love that it’s just a few steps away. Just under a thirty-minute drive away is chic Porto-Vecchio, known as the Corsican St-Tropez, with its pretty old town’s streets lined with restaurants and designer boutiques – it’s perfect for a day out. After a busy day, head back to your dreamy retreat and put your feet up on the chaise sofa to plan the next day's adventures.

Powdery Sands

Paid Parking On Street

Nestled between the luscious hills of the lively town of Calvi, this lovely apartment is a wonderful choice for a family or friends getaway. Striking a harmonious balance between contemporary living and boho beachy charm,  it exudes calm and comfort. 

We love the seaside style of this home, bringing the beauty of Calvi's pristine coastline indoors. It's the ultimate holiday home, packed with cheer and joy that'll brighten your days to no end. The sunny, south-facing terrace is the cherry on top, continuing the contemporary, boho design. We do love the interior, but we can imagine lots of morning coffees, lunches, dinners, and evening drinks will go on around this outdoor table. And with a mountainous view like that, who can blame you?

When it's time to explore, you're a short walk from the dramatic coast. Corsica is known for its active culture as well as its pristine beaches, so whether you want to relax on the beach, take on water sports, or go for a beautiful hike, you can easily do it all here. And Calvi is Corsica's main hub – perfect for a drink or two along the marina, after a day of enjoying the sun. 

A Thousand Charms

Outdoor Shower

Immersed in a sanctuary of olive trees with spectacular views across the mountains of Occhiatana, this home welcomes you to enjoy the abundant beauty of Corsica. 

Consisting of four bedrooms spread across two separate apartments, the space is united by a flowering garden and swimming pool – perfect for relaxing and savouring the serenity of this unique location. There are also several terraces and shady spots for lounging, reading and enjoying glasses of wine as the sun sets. And for those evenings when you want to sit under the stars, the barbecue and dining area welcome you to experience the true magic of outdoor living. 

Back inside, you’ll find the simple bedrooms set the tone for a restorative night’s rest. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, the glistening coastline awaits. Located less than 2km from the sea, days can be spent on the beach or exploring the beautiful countryside. Wander through the streets of Occhiatana, admire the 17th-century frescoes in the church and mingle with locals in the village square. 

Maison Olive

Minutes away from the beach, this home also has its own private pool for whenever even minutes of effort feels like too much. When the holiday you’ve signed up for is one that requires minimal movement and a whole lot of relaxing, you might start every day off lazily. Wait for the sun to make its moves before you do and even then, get out from under the covers at a leisurely pace as you make your way to the beautiful kitchen to get the coffee brewing. 

Whilst you wait, you might take a quick, casual dip in the pool to rejuvenate mind and body before moving to the loggia where you can not only nurse the freshly-brewed cuppa, but also admire the beautiful garden. 

The rest of the day can be spent in a state of bliss – breakfasts enjoyed at the dining table, mornings spent sunbathing poolside, barbecued lunches eaten alfresco, games of shoulder wars, lazy afternoons drinking wine in the loggia, lying back on the lawn as you immerse yourself completely in stargazing, and plenty of good conversation, laughter and food to see you through. 

If you do venture to the beach – which really is just a short way from your doorstep – make a day of exploring the rest of the coastline. When you return, you can kindle a fire in the wood-burning stove, kick your feet up and simply relax again. 

To Sand & Sunshine

Umbrellas

Among the mountain landscapes, quaint villages and rolling hills of the Balagne region, this delightful villa enjoys a privileged position, overlooking the Corsica countryside. Designed by the owner, who just so happens to be an architect, this home was created with care and attention.

Authentic materials have been used to preserve the period charm of the interiors. The beauty isn't limited to the inside, either – step out onto the teak wood terraces and discover breathtaking views over the fortress of hilltop villages and rugged greenery below. Start the day with coffee and a dip in the private pool, taking a moment to fully appreciate the spectacular scenery around you before heading off to explore it.

Spend an afternoon strolling towards the local winery, where you can sample some of the area's most highly regarded wines, or use one of the inter-village walking trails to hike through the hills. The famous coastline is a short drive away, offering glistening blue ocean and dense forests – this is a seaside escape like no other.

After an adventure-filled day, head back to that gorgeous terrace to cook an alfresco feast on the charcoal barbecue. Pour a glass of your favourite tipple, take a seat facing the mountains and witness an unforgettable sunset before retiring indoors to indulge in a well-deserved bubble bath.

Corsican Whispers

Only three-hundred metres from the white sandy stretch and turquoise waters of San Ciprianu beach on the island of Corsica, this home is a barefooted, laidback retreat. The newly built townhouse is all about minimalist, chic style – think muted tones and dark floor tiles in rooms.

Set on two levels, the plot has several outdoor spaces for congregating. During the day, the front patio is flooded with sunshine, so take up your spot on the sun loungers to soak up some rays.

Situated on the shores of western Corsica, this bright and modern apartment is an excellent base from which to explore the Gulf of Ajaccio. The place is fuss-free and inviting, with a comfortable loveseat strategically positioned in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and a dinky kitchenette for putting together charcuterie boards. Spend mornings unwinding on the terrace before heading down to the communal pool for a leisurely swim. 

Should you fancy a change of scenery, jump in the car and take the short drive to the idyllic Plage de Porticcio or head over to Ajaccio, the island’s capital city and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Brush up on your art history knowledge at the Fesch Museum then seek out a harbourside restaurant for a slap-up seafood supper.

Pine & Peach

Workplace

Nestled in the small marine village of Pinarello, surrounded by sublime sandy beaches and colourful taverns, this villa provides a tranquil retreat from which to explore the south of Corsica. The interior will have you feeling right at home, with comfy sofas you can't help but sink into, and wooden beamed ceilings that give the villa a cosy feeling.

Step outside and you'll be greeted with a large terrace, which offers a number of shady corners to enjoy a cup of coffee or read your favourite book. The garden is pretty and houses two deck chairs in case you want to soak up the sunshine. Start your days by heading outside to get some fresh air and plan your itinerary for the day. You're just 400 metres from a white sandy beach here, which offers endless fun. Hire a boat, learn to surf or simply sit back and enjoy the mountain scenery that surrounds the bay – you really can't go wrong here.

After a day of sun, sea and sand, nothing beats a barbecue dinner at home – we highly recommend buying some local seafood and then eating alfresco on the patio. Post-dinner, stay out to watch the sunset or run yourself a bubble bath to top off a perfect day. 

Sacred Shores

This modern and comfortable villa is located in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Lecci, just 5 km from the beach. The home features a well-kept garden and a swimming pool that guests can enjoy between July and September. The villa has four spacious rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, flat-screen TV, and air conditioning. The open kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, electric coffee machine, and more. Guests can dine inside or outside on the large terrace with a barbecue and four deck chairs. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and there is reserved parking for up to three cars. This non-smoking villa is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a peaceful holiday in Corsica.

Stucco & Stone

Multiple Sets of Keys

Welcome Hamper

This lovely stone villa sits off the tourist trail in the northwestern Balagne region of the island. Known for its spectacular scenery and hilltop communes, you'll find this particular home just outside the authentic Corsican village of Feliceto.

Step inside this welcoming home, and you'll uncover a light and spacious open living room and kitchen, with several French doors offering direct access to the outdoor terrace. From here, you can lay out by the pool and enjoy the lush green landscapes, with olive trees that run from the village all the way to the Renucci and Maestracci vineyards. 

Feliceto is nestled in the foothills of the Montegrosso Massif and surrounded by sky-high peaks that reach close to 2,000m. The village gets its name from the river, where you'll find locals of all ages frolicking in the water over the summer months. Elsewhere, you can also experience local life at the 'ghjardinettu', the village square where you'll find people simply watching the world go by. Slightly further afield, head half an hour west to the coast at Calvi, the island's capital of culture, or visit the wild and beautiful Agriates Desert, forty minutes north of the villa.

Where Eagles Soar

Single-Level Home

We've come to the conclusion that this Corsican apartment scores high on all fronts. Not only does the interior design feel bright and modern, but being on the ground floor of the building means that the home has its own private terrace, too. Throw open the glass doors and you'll find a leafy spot to sit, eat or just sunbathe during baking hot afternoons. What's more, guests get access to the complex's shared gardens and outdoor swimming pool, which is more than big enough for you to practise your breaststroke. The home's location has lots going in its favour too, with the centre of Porto Vecchio just over ten minutes away in the car and the nearest beach taking less than five minutes to reach on foot.

Bisous, Bisous

Escape to a quiet cove on Corsica's northwestern coastline for a stay at this charming villa. Though the exterior exudes traditional French style, inside you'll find modern furnishings and appliances including a freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The open-plan living space offers plenty of places for you to relax with friends or family, whether that's chatting at the dining table or unwinding on the corner sofa. However, it's likely that you'll spend most of your time on the terrace, relaxing with a cold drink on the lounge set and admiring views of the Mediterranean. Galéria is a quiet coastal village, where you'll find a couple of traditional Corsican restaurants, bars and a supermarket. Hike the trails to the Genoese tower by the shore, or venture further into the Corsican hills. End your day with a barbecue at your villa, watching night fall on the village and mountains. 

Napoleon's Footsteps

A ten-minute stroll from the sands of Pianotolli-Caldarello, this home promises modern ease on the coast. There's room to breathe, with four en-suite bedrooms in the main house and the fifth in a separate annexe. Though the heated pool and private boules pitch offer great social spots, you'll also find quiet places for arranging yoga lessons. Don't fancy a one-minute walk to the pizzeria? Hire a chef and enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace. Bonifacio awaits twenty minutes down the road, with a bustling marina and medieval citadel.

This modernist hideaway sits nestled amongst the trees and provides the perfect setting for a restorative island retreat. 

Simple, light and full of the refreshing spirit of its location, the owners have designed this space to inspire total relaxation.

And when night falls, you’ll find the illuminated trees add a magical touch to evening meals shared around the indoor or outdoor dining table.  

From here, it's just a short stroll to Ste Lucie de Porto Vecchio where you’ll find a supermarket and delicatessen alongside a small selection of local restaurants. And for explorations further afield, the beautiful beaches of Palombaggia, Santa Giulia and Pinarello are just a short drive away.
