Set by a little stream with stone terraces and olive trees, L’Huilerie allows you to immerse yourself into Corsican country life with its beauty, wildlife, and mountainous landscapes. With a unique layout, a gorgeous lounge and dining area can be found on the main floor beneath the traditional stone vaulted ceiling and doors open out to stone terraces offering both sun and shade. Seven bedrooms are scattered across the upper and lower floor, most with air-conditioning and many with characterful features such as the old mill downstairs as well as exposed stone walls and sloping wood-beamed ceilings elsewhere.
A former olive mill dating back to the 18th century, find a relaxing spot by the little stream, listen out for the mooing of cows or head over to the 12m long swimming pool to cool off on warm summer days. Enjoy barbecues on the terrace with views of the olive trees and mountains in this remarkable and traditionally Corsican setting.
Yet despite this rural ambience, the villa is located just off the main road connecting L'Île-Rousse to Ponte Leccia, meaning that so many gems of northern Corsica can be reached by car. Start off by exploring gorgeous local villages including Lama, a five-minute drive away, with its Italian style architecture, sensational views and renowned Lama European Film Festival at the beginning of August.
It’s a walker’s paradise here whether hiking from Lama to Monte Asto, following the mule track to the beautiful village of Urtaca or discovering some of the glorious trails near Novella. Then there’s the 50km long coastal trail from the wild shores of Plage de l'Ostriconi, one of Corsica’s finest beaches, around 17km from your holiday home.
As you explore northern Corsica, soak up the charm of St Florent, buy award winning wines in the vineyards of Patrimonio or, slightly closer to home, enjoy the ambience of delightful L'Île-Rousse with its 18th and 19th century architecture, beachside restaurants and amazing sunsets. Not to mention the many idyllic sandy bays and picture-perfect hilltop villages waiting to be discovered en route to the much-loved town of Calvi, just under an hour by car.
- Air-conditioning is featured throughout except Bedroom 1 (which features the old mill).
- Check the “Property Layout” tab carefully for details on the characterful layout.
- As you can see from the photos, children require supervision outside with low stone walls, paths, terraced levels and setting next to the pretty stream.
- This villa is for guests wishing to immerse themselves in Corsica’s remote beauty. That said, the villa is very close to the main road linking L'Île-Rousse to the centre and east of the island.
