Overview
Villa Ghjallu is an architect-designed villa with fantastic features and impressive contemporary style, alongside a heated swimming pool in its glorious garden. Just beyond this high-end home, a little path through the fragrant maquis leads you to Plage de Pinarellu, an idyllic sandy beach backed by umbrella pines with crystal-clear sea.
This modern and air-conditioned abode sleeps up to 12 guests across its six elegant bedrooms, each one featuring a private bath or shower room and some with a private terrace. We love the sense of space across its open-plan lounge and kitchen-diner with sliding windows opening straight out to the covered patio for al-fresco feasts by the barbecue.
A few steps brings you to the heated swimming pool and its vast poolside terrace, gated for the safety of youngsters who will adore the picturesque lawns across the landscaped garden dotted with olive trees and Corsican shrubs. The boules court will no doubt be appreciated by guests of every age.
It’s wonderful to be so close to Plage de Pinarellu, a 2km long beach with a handful of summer restaurants, watersport opportunities, gently-shelving water and the most spectacular setting. A short drive further south is the gorgeous bay at Plage de Saint Cyprien whilst keen walkers can come across a rocky coastal trail found between the two.
Porto Vecchio is just a 20-minute drive away or continue further south to spend time discovering the charming citadel of incredible Bonifacio, just under an hour by car. Even closer, explore more of the island as you come across the mesmerising landscapes of Forêt de l'Ospédale and its lake, the rockpools around the Solenzara and L’Osu valley and the waterfall at Piscia di Ghjaddu, all amazing wonders of this magnificent and very beautiful island.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GhjalluVilla Ghjallu is in south-eastern Corsica, a short walk to the very beautiful beach, Plage de Pinarellu, and only 18km from Porto Vecchio.
In a semi-residential setting, a little path through the fragrant maquis takes you to Plage de Pinarellu in around ten minutes – you will soon reach the pine forest leading all the way down to the beach and gently-shelving sea. Along this 2km long stretch of idyllic coastline, find a handful of seasonal beachside restaurants as well as summer watersports such as jet-ski, sea-kayaking, paddle-boarding and pedalo hire.
In the other direction, a couple of good-sized supermarket can be found on the main road within a 5-minute drive – this road leads south to Porto Vecchio (18km) or north towards Solenzara on the east coast, the gateway to the Solenzara valley, a mecca for outdoor adventurists. You are also well placed for driving into the interior of the island - Forêt de l'Ospédale and its lake is around half an hour by car, a paradise for walkers, whilst the dramatic Col de Bavella is around an hour north-west of your villa. Hikers note that the GR20 route ends in the nearby village of Conca (10km).
Back to the alluring coastline, Plage de Saint Cyprien (7km) is another gem a little further south whilst the iconic beaches of Palombaggia (30km) and Santa Giulia (27km) are also worthy of a visit outside the height of the summer. If you feel like exploring even further, look out for some of the comparatively wilder shores around Figari such as Plage de la Tonnara and stunning scenery around Roccapina and the south-west coastline.
Porto Vecchio (18km) is another fine trip out with its citadel, historic quarter, marina as well as the town’s bustling bars, cafes and restaurants. Boat trips depart from the marina to the remote and very picturesque Lavezzi Islands. Bonifacio (47km) is another must-see in southern Corsica with its incredible citadel perched above limestone cliffs and steep stairs leading down to the sea.

Best Suited For: All AgesIt's amazing to be able to stroll down the little path all the way down to the beach – within around 1km you can be by the sandy shores of beautiful Plage de Pinarellu with its gently shelving sea, a handful of seasonal restaurants and some summer watersports.
Slightly further south, Plage de Saint Cyprien (7km) is another picture-perfect spot where you will find a range of water-based activities and wonderful water for swimming.
Corsica also offers many walking opportunities, horse-riding and other outdoor adventures including the popular Parc Aventure de Porto-Vecchio (20km) with tree-top trails, suspended nets and go-karting, depending on age/height. Older children who are even more adventurous can look out for a range of activities near Solenzara including canyoning (usually aged 11+).
