In a remote setting close to the Désert des Agriates, there are so many incredible vistas of the sea from the beautiful holiday home, whether dining al-fresco on one of the terraces or relaxing by the infinity swimming pool which can be heated on request. Make the most of the cook who can prepare two meals most days for you (choose between breakfast, lunch and an evening meal) so you can instead spend time marvelling at the surrounding scenery or wandering down to the rocky shore with little bays so idyllic for swimming.
Inside this impressive home, find six bedrooms split across two houses, each one connected via a covered patio where you can gather to socialise with yet more gorgeous views. Built towards the end of the 20th century by a well-known French architect, the villa is mainly stone and features a spacious lounge and dining area with a library of books and windows framing the sea vista, alongside a fully-equipped kitchen with blue raw stone flooring. Housekeeping six days a week is also included in your holiday rental.
Villa Lapis is part of a vast domaine with six other villas although its nearest neighbour is 200m away, so there is still a sense of isolation in this remote area west of St Florent, partly accessed via an unmade road. Within a 15-minute drive (or short boat trip) you can reach the charming town of St Florent with its picturesque restaurants, shops and marina with boat tours. Plage de la Roya is a wonderful beach with sandy shores, clear water and seasonal watersports or further afield discover two of Corsica’s finest beaches, Plage du Lotu and Plage de Saleccia, each one accessible only by boat or on foot.
Indeed, the most experienced hikers will adore the coastal paths of Désert des Agriates or drive to the captivating Cap Corse for more superb walking trails alongside several characterful villages such as Nonza and Erbalunga. Visit the vineyards of Patrimonio, enjoy the beauty of Corsica’s interiors around Oletta and even pop into the Corsica Zoo.
Venture back to your holiday home where you can be served a delicious home-cooked meal, served al-fresco on the terrace with unrivalled views towards the twinkling lights of St Florent bay.
- The rooms are on various floors, split across two houses which are connected via a long roof and covered summer terrace. Please see the “Layout” tab for details.
- Perched above the sea, the villa is set across terraced grounds with steps and there are various levels and terraces within the house, as you can see from the photos. Young children will need extra supervision.
- The cook is available six days a week (excluding public holidays) to prepare two meals a day – guests have to pay for the cost of all groceries/drinks.
- The property is around a 15-minute drive from St Florent, the last 2.2km is via an unmade road so a suitable car is needed.
- Please note that published rates are only valid for the current year. Any bookings for subsequent years will be on request only and correct rates will be confirmed at the time of booking.
- Please note that your booking will only be confirmed once we have checked availability with the owner or their property manager.
