Overview
Enjoy the best of southern Corsica from your stylish and welcoming villa, located a short drive from Porto Vecchio and just 7km from the island’s iconic beach, Plage de Palombaggia.
With it’s open-plan living, gorgeous furnishings and air-conditioning throughout, Maison Paille will appeal to everyone whether holidaying as a couple, group of friends or family with children. We love how the light-filled lounge has two sets of sliding doors opening out to the garden and decked terrace whilst the three double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, are all on the same level.
Outside, the villa features a pretty garden, heated swimming pool and al-fresco dining terrace. So much time can be spent outdoors lounging in the summer sunshine, firing up the gas barbecue or simply sitting back with a glass of Corsican rosé.
If you feel like venturing out, follow the road in one direction which leads towards one of Corsica’s most popular beaches, Plage de Palombaggia, with its pine trees, soft sand, gently shelving clear water, beachside restaurants and summer watersports. In the other direction is the glitzy yet charming Porto Vecchio, perfect for an evening out by the bustling harbour or in the town’s atmospheric old quarter. Even closer are two upmarket hotel-restaurants, one with two Michelin stars – do book well in advance!
As well as other idyllic beaches nearby such as Tamaricciu and Santa Giulia, further wonderful day trips include the exquisite town of Bonifacio with its amazing citadel perched above limestone cliffs, and the extraordinary interiors of the island around La Forêt de l'Ospédale or Col de Bavella, an absolute paradise for hikers, bikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
What you should know…
- Located just off the road that eventually leads to Plage de Palombaggia, there is a small handful of restaurants (some within a hotel) within a short distance but do note there is no pavement for easy access on foot.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison PailleMaison Paille is in south-eastern Corsica, only 6km from the much-loved harbour town of Porto Vecchio.
In a partially residential setting, the house is set just off the road that leads all the way to Palombaggia (7km), one of southern Corsica’s most iconic beaches. A short distance from your villa are two upmarket hotels with high-end restaurants (advance reservations are a must), one of which has two Michelin stars.
Plage de Palombaggia (7km) is a fantastic place to spend the day – head there early to secure a car parking spot in the height of the summer. Enjoy summer beachside restaurants, seasonal watersports, diving as well as beautiful sandy shores and crystal-clear water. A little further are the equally wonderful Plage de Tamaricciu (9km) and Santa Giulia (9km) or venture further south towards Bonifacio and the Figari coastline to picture-perfect bays such as Rondinara Beach and Plage de la Tonnara, both around half an hour away.
You are also well located for reaching the heart of Porto Vecchio (6km) with its bustling marina and harbour, historic citadel and a warren of narrow lanes in its old quarter with café and restaurant terraces and little shops. Bonifacio (30km) is another must-visit if you can find the time – its amazing citadel is perched above limestone cliffs with the most incredible sea views.
The dramatic landscapes of Corsica’s interiors also await from the wooded scenery of La Forêt de l'Ospédale to the incredible peaks of the Col de Bavella – both areas are a paradise for hiking and biking enthusiasts. As you explore the island’s winding roads, come across pretty villages for lunch in traditional Corsican auberges as well as gorgeous rivers (Cavu and Solenzara), rock pools and a range of outdoor adventures from rock-climbing to canyoning and so much more.

Best Suited For: All AgesStart off with the glorious beaches of south-eastern Corsica! The nearest is Plage de Palombaggia, a picture-perfect spot for families with a small handful of summer beachside restaurants, seasonal watersports, sandy shores and clear water ideal for snorkelling. Plage de Tamaricciu and Santa Giulia are also ideal for children or venture a little further south towards Rondinara Beach and Plage de la Tonnara.
There are so many water-based activities across this part of the island as well as boat trips from both Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio. Either tour the coast, visiting idyllic caves, sometimes with swimming opportunities, or sail across to the remote Lavezzi Islands – pack a picnic, shade and plenty of water.
Back on the mainland, find horse-riding, quad biking, canyoning, rock-climbing and a wealth of outdoor adventures. Another popular family trip out is to the Parc Aventure de Porto-Vecchio, an activity centre with tree-top trails, go-karts, trampolines and more.
