Villas in Corsica

Find Your Extraordinary

Corsica Villa Holiday

Corsica is a Mediterranean island of dramatic beauty, where turquoise bays meet forested mountains and ancient citadels rise above working harbours. Often described as the ‘Île de Beauté’, it blends French elegance with a distinct Italian influence, shaped by centuries of shifting rule and fiercely preserved identity. From the white cliffs of Bonifacio in Southern Corsica to the golden sands near Calvi, the rugged interior around Corte and the lively capital of Ajaccio, this is an island that rewards both relaxation and exploration.

Explore our curated collection of villas in Corsica, including sea-view villas with pools and spacious family villas in France perfect for gathering generations together. You can also discover more inspiration across our wider South of France portfolio, pairing island seclusion with mainland glamour.

Why visit Corsica?

Corsica feels wonderfully self-contained – an island where mornings begin with sea swims and evenings end with mountain silhouettes against a rose-gold sky. More than 1,000 kilometres of coastline frame sandy beaches, secret coves and lively marina towns, while inland, pine forests and granite peaks create one of the most striking landscapes in the Mediterranean.

History is etched into the scenery. Genoese citadels guard historic ports, prehistoric sites such as Filitosa hint at ancient civilisations and Bonifacio’s limestone cliffs hold centuries of stories above a natural harbour.

The island’s cuisine reflects its geography. Mountain-reared charcuterie, brocciu cheese and chestnut-infused dishes sit comfortably beside freshly grilled seafood and crisp local wines. Markets brim with regional produce, and small harbour restaurants serve the catch of the day within sight of the boats that landed it.

Staying in a private villa allows you to experience Corsica at your own pace – perhaps a contemporary retreat overlooking the sea or a secluded home tucked into the maquis, complete with a private pool. With expert guidance and concierge support, your island escape unfolds effortlessly.

What Oliver Loves

The contrast between mountain and sea – breakfast overlooking a quiet bay, afternoon hikes through scented maquis, dinner in a centuries-old harbour town – all within the same day.
