Overview
Experience the beauty of south-eastern Corsica whilst staying in style at the contemporary Maison Forêt De Pins with gorgeous sea views, close to the island’s iconic Palombaggia beach.
This modern abode blends in seamlessly with its rustic surroundings and with those idyllic views over the pine trees towards the sea, this is what Corsica is all about. The sleek air-conditioned interiors offer both comfort and charm with sliding windows leading straight out from the open-plan living space to the garden and terrace. Across the rustic garden, relax in the summer sun on the decked patios and then cool off in the slightly raised stone swimming pool which is elegantly lit up in the evening.
On the ground floor, find the master double bedroom with its king-size bed and standalone bath whilst on the first floor are two further en suite doubles with sea-view terraces, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening aperitif with vistas of the glistening water in the distance. A garden annexe houses the fourth inviting bedroom, perhaps ideal for older teens or other accompanying guests.
A very short drive takes you down to Plage de Palombaggia, such an idyllic bay backed by pine trees with soft sand, rocks, crystal-clear sea alongside seasonal watersports and a small handful of summer beachside restaurants. A little further is the equally captivating Plage de Tamaricciu or venture towards the famous Plage de Santa Giulia, yet another gem of southern Corsica.
Porto Vecchio awaits with its bustling marina and warren of winding lanes in its old quarter, wonderful for a lingering lunch or evening out, whilst Bonifacio’s incredible citadel is not to be missed. Head out on a boat to tour the island’s southern coast or venture into the mountains to admire the dramatic landscapes around Col de Bavella and the enchanting Forêt de l'Ospédale.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison Foret De PinsIn the heights of Palombaggia, a very short drive from southern Corsica’s iconic sandy beach, Maison Forêt De Pins enjoys a wonderful location with stunning sea views, just 10km from Porto Vecchio.
Even though you are just 700m from Plage de Palombaggia as the crow flies, there is no direct access on foot so it is still a short drive to reach this incredible beach – head out early in the height of the summer or enjoy the beach in the evening as the day-trippers head home, after all it is one of the island’s most popular spots. Find summer beachside restaurants, a diving centre, seasonal watersports as well as beautiful sand, pine trees and gently-shelving sea.
A little further along the coast is Plage de Tamaricciu (3km) and Plage de Santa Giulia (11km), two other picture-perfect bays with facilities in the summer months, or drive towards Bonifacio and discover the beauty of Plage de Rondinara (23km). North of Porto Vecchio are other idyllic beaches including Plage de Saint Cyprien and Pinarellu, around a 30 to 40-minute drive, or venture south towards the slightly quieter coastline around Bonifacio and Figari.
Spend time in Porto Vecchio (10km) with its bustling harbour, historic citadel and old town with a wealth of café and restaurant terraces, a delightful place for an evening out. Bonifacio (32km) is another must-see town of southern Corsica, famed for its amazing citadel which sits perched above dramatic limestone cliffs. Within the citadel there are so many brilliant restaurants and little artisan shops as well as incredible sea views.
The interiors of the island also await with the peaks of Col de Bavella, rock pools of the Cavu and Solenzara Rivers and the woodland of La Forêt de l'Ospédale, all best explored on foot – the landscapes of Corsica are a paradise for keen hikers and outdoor adventurists.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesIt’s fantastic being so close to Plage de Palombaggia, popular with families thanks to its sandy shores, gently shelving sea, summer watersports and snorkelling opportunities. Plage de Tamaricciu and Santa Giulia are two other great beaches for children whilst there are further beautiful and family-friendly bays north of Porto Vecchio or south towards Bonifacio and Figari.
Many of the beaches offer a range of water-based activities in the summer months and boat trips are another way to explore the southern Corsica coastline with tours departing from Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio. One day trip to consider is the remote yet idyllic Lavezzi Islands – pack plenty of water, shade and a good beach picnic.
Explore the island’s interiors on horse-back or bike, try out all sorts of adventurous pursuits such as rock-climbing and canyoning, find cooling rock pools, hike through the mountains and woodland or stay closer to home and spend the day at Parc Aventure de Porto-Vecchio with its tree-top trails, trampolines, go-karts and more.
