Overview
With sea and mountain views so typical of this beautiful island, Villa Mare E Monti enjoys stunning scenery from its swimming pool and landscaped gardens. It’s a short walk to a little beach below and only 7km to southern Corsica’s iconic Plage de Palombaggia.
Villa Mare E Monti is set on a hillside with only a handful of neighbouring villas, around a 9km drive from the heart of Porto Vecchio. Scattered over various floors, up to 12 guests can sleep across six air-conditioned bedrooms, some with terraces making the most of the garden and/or sea views. The open plan lounge and kitchen is wonderful with its sliding windows opening straight out to the al-fresco dining area and poolside terrace, all with those special vistas of the sea.
As well as cooling off in the inviting swimming pool and lounging on the sunbeds, there’s a delightful outdoor lounge in the landscaped gardens looking out towards Porto Vecchio Bay and the Mediterranean. Wandering out of the villa, follow the road down the hill and within 200m you can be swimming in the sea from a picturesque little bay.
Hop in the car and reach other gorgeous beaches dotted nearby – eventually the roads will lead to one of Corsica’s most famous beaches, Plage de Palombaggia, backed by idyllic pine trees with sandy shores and gently shelving water.
As well as a couple of highly regarded hotel restaurants within a 5 to 10-minute drive, Porto Vecchio also awaits for evenings out soaking up its charming ambience. Bonifacio is another beautiful town to visit in southern Corsica or head into the hills to admire the island’s spectacular interiors and sample authentic mountain fare at a traditional auberge in wonderful surroundings.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Mare E MontiVilla Mare E Monti enjoys wonderful sea views from its hillside position around 200m above a little beach, 9km from the heart of Porto Vecchio and a good location for reaching Corsica’s famous beach, Palombaggia, 7km by car.
If arriving by aeroplane, fly into Figari Airport (26km) or you could drive all the way down the east coast road from Bastia Airport (136km). Ferries from mainland France, Italy and the island of Sardinia arrive into Porto Vecchio, Bonifacio, Bastia and Ajaccio.
Porto Vecchio is a joy to explore with its historic quarter of winding lanes and atmospheric restaurants alongside its upmarket marina – no wonder it’s one of Corsica’s most popular destinations, especially in the height of the summer. Porto Vecchio is also home to good-sized supermarkets on the outskirts and other useful amenities. Even closer to your holiday home, gastronomes take note that there are two highly regarded hotel restaurants around 4-5km away, both overlooking Porto Vecchio Bay (pre-booking is essential).
As well as a little beach you can walk to below the villa (if you don’t mind the walk back up the hill), there are other little bays dotted along the coast within a short drive and this area is a paradise for scuba-diving enthusiasts. After around 7km you will reach one of Corsica’s most iconic beaches, Plage de Palombaggia, with sandy shores and gently shelving sea backed by beautiful pine trees. In the summer there’s a range of watersports on offer – drive there early to get a parking space!
There are so many other gorgeous bays further afield, either north of Porto Vecchio (Cala Rossa, Saint-Cyprien and Pinarellu) or heading towards Bonifacio and Figari (Rondinara, Tonnara and so many more). Look out for all sorts of seasonal watersports, boat tours and idyllic beachside restaurants or simply pack a picnic and shade for a wonderful day out by the turquoise coloured sea.
Bonifacio (33km) is a fine day out – explore its enchanting citadel perched above limestone cliffs, packed with little shops, restaurants and incredible sea views. Enjoy a drink of chestnut beer or Corsican rosé by Bonifacio’s marina or hop on a ferry to the remote Lavezzi Islands.
Take time to admire the beauty of southern Corsica’s rugged interiors whether hiking through La Forêt de l'Ospédale, taking part in various outdoor adventures in the Col de Bavella, looking out for rock pools by the Solenzara and Cavu Rivers or simply enjoying authentic Corsican cuisine in a mountain auberge with amazing views.
