Overview
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.
The outdoor space exudes an achingly cool attitude, ensuring you kick off the summer season in style. Lounge by the pool and doze off to the sound of cicadas nestled 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 Ajjacio – the island’s capital – hosts an array of vibrant markets, grand architecture and magnificent sea and mountain vistas.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison Tailleur De PierreLocated in a half-residential area near a beautiful hillside village, Maison Tailleur De Pierre offers an idyllic base from which to explore Corsica’s west coast full of craggy granite peaks dense with herbs and centuries-old pine trees.
Nestled in the hills and surrounded by a vast stretch of aromatic pine forest, the nearest village is just a 5-minute drive away if you feel like soaking up its rustic atmosphere. Visit its pretty churches and dine in family-friendly restaurants as you take in the views – which by the way, never get old.
There's no doubt that all you’ll want to do on hot summer days is to stretch your legs in the sand. Luckily, there are a number of sandy spots nearby where you can exist just sea-soaked and sandy-footed. There are several beaches with nice views and restaurants, one of which is accessed by a rocky path with turquoise water, often welcoming visitors on boats and catamarans. A bit further away, Plage LyHaRa is an excellent place for discovering the underwater kingdom – so don some flippers and a mask and glide off into the blue sea. Other prized gems of this stunning coastline that might require a bit of driving include the isolated beach of the Désert des Agriates, Loto Beach, with its white sand and clear water backed by verdant hills, as well as Saleccia Beach defined by a kilometre-long curve of pearl-white sand.
True outdoor enthusiasts will be pleased to discover an array of coastal walking trails and paths taking you through rocky cliffs perfect for spotting wildlife and unique flora. The Corsica Natural Regional Park is also a remarkable place located in the middle of the island, and this mountainous nature reserve with around 1500 km of marked walking trails grants visitors with incredible vistas – the sightings of rare mouflons and ospreys are also on the itinerary.
If you’re up for a scenic 15-minute stroll, walk through the residential area backed by palm trees and greenery to reach the local bakery where you can pick up fresh pastries, coffee and juice. Here you can also find a restaurant serving traditional local cuisine. Alternatively, the supermarket can be reached in just 5 minutes by car.
The closest town is a comfortable 10-minute drive away. You can find many restaurants and cafés along the waterfront facing the main Plage de Propriano beach, or venture deeper into the town for more charming lanes, boutiques, markets and casinos too. Just outside the town, discover the tranquil Plage de Capu Laurosu beach boasting panoramic views of mountains and rocky pools with unique formations.
In just one hour by car, you can stroll around Ajaccio, the island’s capital city, a lively place to visit day or night, with exceptional food, wine and shopping guaranteed. Situated on the island’s western coast, it’s also known as the birthplace of French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte. History lovers will want to visit his ancestral home, Maison Bonaparte, which is now a museum displaying family heirlooms, while the baroque, 16th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral, where Napoléon was baptised, contains paintings by Delacroix and Tintoretto.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCorsica is a fantastic island offering heaps of activities for the entire family – and the beaches of the Valinco Gulf that you can see so well from the terrace will delight children of every age. There is a nearby beach fringed by trees which offer shelter from the sun, and its sandy surface is perfect for building sandcastles and swimming. Just a short drive away, you can discover a Genoese tower before taking a dip in the crystal-clear water.
The small town of Propriano offers sea-kayaking, pedal boat hire, wake-boarding as well as a small summer waterpark with inflatables – and there are family-friendly restaurants and cafés serving local delicacies alongside delightful ice cream of course.
Alternatively, hop on a boat or ferry leaving from the harbour and discover another island, or explore the shores from the other side. If you’re lucky, you can spot dolphins and turtles on the way, making this an exciting activity for the entire family.
