Looking out towards typical Corsican landscapes from the infinity swimming pool and outdoor lounge, this is an idyllic setting considering you are so close to the harbour and citadel. The outdoor space is truly amazing with decked terracing, al-fresco dining by the ancient olive tree, a summer kitchen and gorgeous outdoor lounge facing the swimming pool. Discover the little garden in glorious surroundings – lie back in the hammock and soak up the southern Corsican sunshine.
Step inside and the stylish interiors are just as impressive. The open-plan lounge features Apple TV and leads to the sleek kitchen with its breakfast bar and dining area. There are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite) on this floor whilst upstairs is a stunning master double with king-size bed, ensuite and terrace with valley views. A fifth bedroom can be found in a separate annexe with its own living area.
A stroll down the (unpaved) road takes you to a large supermarket, then continue on towards Bonifacio’s harbour, just 1km away. Sip Corsican rosé or a glass of chilled chestnut beer in a waterside bar or dine out in an upmarket seafood restaurant overlooking the yachts and fishing boats sailing by. Boat trips depart the marina, a wonderful way to tour the coast or reach the remote Lavezzi Islands.
Climb up to the medieval citadel perched above the limestone cliffs and be enchanted by its historic beauty and incredible vistas. Explore the warren of narrow, cobbled lanes and stop off in charming restaurants serving authentic Corsican gastronomy. The most nimble of guests can walk down the steep historic staircase, L’Escalier du Roy d'Aragon, towards the water’s edge.
Drive to pristine sandy beaches - Plage du Grand Sperone is only 6km away, close to the prestigious 18-hole golf course – and look out for summer watersports and boat hire. Porto Vecchio and its famous bays are just over half an hour away or venture to southern Corsica’s hinterland for hiking and other outdoor adventures as you admire the magnificently rugged landscapes of this incredible island.
- There are four bedrooms in the main part of the villa and a fifth bedroom in an annexe.
- The gardien who takes care of the pool and garden lives on site in a separate annexe on the other side of the parking area.
- Beautiful Bonifacio is within walking distance with its shops and restaurants. However, car hire is strongly recommended in order to drive to the beach and explore southern Corsica.
- It’s wonderful to be able to stroll into the heart of Bonifacio – its characterful harbour is just 1km away. However please note that the first half of the route is unpaved and narrow so caution is needed.
- An extra 2 guests can stay on the sofa bed in the living room of the annexe.
- Children must be supervised around the pool at all times.
