Make all your wildest holiday dreams come true on this stylish address featuring a sweeping coastal view, located on the southern part of the naturally beautiful French island Corsica.
 
The charming property, clad in a rustic Mediterranean stone, features an exotic cacti garden and has been expertly renovated to create a go-slow Corsican retreat that embraces authentic island living.
 
Flooded with sunlight from the moment you get up in the morning, the living room has tall windows sliding open to the decked terrace, while the separate kitchen boasts doors leading directly to the outdoor dining area for added convenience. Both bedrooms are minimalistically designed with cream stone underfoot for coolness on hot summer days (and nights), and with an ochre colour palette throughout.

Lounge by the pool and doze off to the sound of cicadas in the trees below as you take in the magnificent view of the Gulf of Valinco. Mornings are best enjoyed with a cup of coffee on the terrace, while in the evening there’s enough space to host festoon-lit soirées and enjoy a glass of exquisite French rosé.
 
Boasting over 200 beaches from the quieter, lesser-known spots to the more boisterous family sands with amenities, Corsica is truly every beach-combing wanderer’s paradise. Explore the soft granulated sand and sultry shimmering waves of the west shores by strolling to one of the nearby beaches. Some have turquoise water great for all sorts of aquatic pursuits, while others feature rocks perched in the sand that pose as excellent sunbathing spots.
 
In addition, there are plenty of hiking and walking trails for all levels to be discovered in the surrounding landscape – and while some of them end in secluded coves and beaches accessible only by rocky paths, others let you discover prehistoric sites, citadels and of course, sweeping natural views.
 
A small seaside town with a harbour, restaurants, shops and beaches is within a short drive away, ideal for soaking up its bustling ambience as you walk along the port all the way to its central square. On some days, you may prefer the rural charm of the local village in the hills or venture towards the characterful town of Sartène to truly experience the natural beauty of the island’s stunning landscape.
 
Bonifacio is a 1-hour drive away, but it’s worth the drive with its captivating citadel and old-wordly atmosphere, while Ajaccio – the island’s capital – hosts an array of vibrant markets, grand architecture and magnificent sea and mountain vistas.

• Please note that hiring a car is required to explore the island and all its hidden coves and beaches comfortably.
• Maison Tailleur De Pierre comfortably sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms. A further two guests can also be accommodated on a sofa bed in the living room. 
• Please note that due to the property’s many steps and uneven surfaces, small children shouldn’t be left unsupervised.
