Overview
Well positioned outside the historic port town of Porto Vecchio on the southeastern side of Corsica, Maison Du Poisson is a four-bedroom villa fit for up to eight guests in spacious comfort and style. Upon entering the villa, you are met with an open living, dining and kitchen area, all of which is bathed in natural Corsican light flooding through large windows.
Homely furnishings and a tasteful décor create a clean and cosy atmosphere that caters to both relaxation and entertainment. The fully-equipped kitchen comes with a range of modern appliances including an electric coffee machine and a dishwasher.
Stepping outside, the extensive terrace complete with barbecue, is perfect for al fresco dining with friends and family, or for simply laying back on a deck chair to soak in the Mediterranean sun while sipping some of the Granite Isle’s characterful wines, reading a book or dipping in and out of the private pool.
Within 15-20 minutes' walk (partially along the road) from the villa, a handful of stunning sandy beaches can be explored, including Plage de l’Ovu Santu, Plage des Amerikans and Plage de Fautea. The villa is also ideally situated to further explore the picturesque landscape of Sainte Lucie Porto-Vecchio, including easy access to nearby hikes that ramble up to scenic views or treading through enchanting local forests. What is more, only a short drive south and you’ll find yourself in the centre of Porto-Vecchio, a historical harbour town where you can gently stroll, taking in the historical sites, local delicacies and chic shopping.
Maison Du Poisson is not just a holiday retreat, it’s also a gateway to the beauty of Porto-Vecchio and the spectacular Corsican coastline. Whether you’re looking to settle into the villa’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle, relax by the pool, or immerse yourself in the local scenery, Maison Du Poisson is the perfect base.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison Du PoissonMaison Du Poisson is ideally situated, allowing you to explore the richness of Corsican life and leisure. Within short walking distance (15-20 minutes) of the villa, partially along roads, a number of spectacular and invitingly sandy beaches can be found. But that is only the beginning. The Corsican landscape is a playground for nature enthusiasts with a plethora of hiking trails including the Punta Capicciola (easy trail great for families), and the Rando Sunshine trail which loops the Cavu Valley.
A short drive south from the villa will bring you to the charming harbour-hugging town of Porto-Vecchio, a blend of old-world charm and vibrant Corsican energy. Once an ancient Roman port, and boasting a 16th century citadel built into the hillside, you can potter through the narrow streets browsing boutiques or hop from quaint café to café trying the various local culinary delights.
The nearby Domaine de Torraccia winery offers the perfect opportunity to taste Corsica’s bold wines grown from a singular terroir. The vineyard specialises in endemic Corsican grape varieties such as Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu, which are imbued with the island’s unique character.
For the history buffs, the Chateau Prehistorique d’Araghju consists of the remains of a bronze age castle built 2,500 years ago. Reached by a steep 30-minute walk from the carpark, the site offers unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside and the stretch of Corsican coastline that Maison Du Poisson calls home.

Region
Known as the l'Île de Beauté, Corsica is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean and home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes of Europe. Come across picture-perfect beaches, magnificent mountain peaks and dense forest as well as perched villages, historic towns and delicious island cuisine. With so many beachside activities and outdoor adventures, this captivating island appeals to every age from keen hikers and history enthusiasts to kids and teens seeking crystal-clear water for swimming, snorkelling and watersports.
Starting in northern Corsica, be mesmerised by the vistas of the sea from Calvi’s citadel where it’s said Christopher Columbus was born before relaxing on a restaurant terrace overlooking the baroque façade of Église Sainte Marie Majeure. From Calvi, U Trinichellu, a charming little train, chugs past beautiful sandy beaches as far as L'Île-Rousse. Watch locals play boules accompanied by a chilled chestnut beer, before dining in one of L'Île-Rousse’s characterful restaurants – tantalise your tastebuds as you try Corsican lamb with rosemary, wild boar or Cannelloni au brocciu. Meanwhile, be enchanted by the hilltop villages of the Balagne and follow old donkey trails on foot as you appreciate the glorious scenery and rich heritage of north-western Corsica.
Pass wild Plage de l'Ostriconi as you drive north-east, then follow the winding road towards the glistening bay of Saint-Florent, an attractive historic town sheltered by the dramatic mountains of the Cap Corse. From vibrant Bastia, drive around two and a half hours south until you reach the south-east of the island, perhaps detouring to explore the chestnut forests of the Castagniccia or the gorges and rock pools of the Solenzara River.
Now in southern Corsica, Porto Vecchio is one of the island’s most popular destinations, especially in the height of the summer when visitors flock to relax on the iconic beaches of Palombaggia, Santa Giulia and Saint Cyprien with a vast range watersports and scenic beachside restaurants. To escape the coastal jetsetters, venture inland to the hiking trails of the Ospedale forest or the stunning Col de Bavella – the landscapes are truly incredible.
Fall in love with Bonifacio’s citadel with its limestone cliffs, medieval lanes and spectacular sea views, before playing golf at one of the most famous courses in the world, Golf de Spérone. Appreciate the wild Figari coastline with more pristine beaches, try the wines of Sartène nestled in the mountains, then continue along the south-western coast to the very handsome town of Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon.
Whether you choose to stay in one of our stylish abodes with private swimming pools, traditional bergeries with rural views or gorgeous retreats overlooking the sea, once you fall head over heels in love with Corsica you will yearn to return again and again.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith an expansive garden, large swimming pool, and fun games like table tennis, Maison Du Poisson is a kid’s paradise.
The numerous beaches within walking distance will prove a hit, although please note that the route is partially along the road. A slightly farther walk from the villa (3km) brings you to a resort-style bay with the opportunity for water sports including diving, sailing, surfing, sailing school, water skiing, canoeing, and river rafting.
But if countless beaches and scenic hikes fail to satisfy the children’s sense of adventure, the Parc Adventure de Porto-Vecchio offers a wonderful family day out, including high ropes courses, flying foxes and all manner of climbing apparatuses.
