Overview
With glistening views towards the azure-coloured sea, Villa Ombre enjoys an enviable setting near Porto Vecchio, just minutes from one of Corsica’s most popular beaches, Plage de Palombaggia.
This architect-designed villa is stunning, not just for its location but also its impressive and spacious interiors. Bring the outside in as you slide open the doors to the decked lounge terrace or stroll from the impressive kitchen straight out to the al-fresco dining table beneath the shade.
Decorated in a contemporary style, there is air-conditioning throughout alongside chic furnishings and fittings. The four bedrooms are gorgeous and each feature en suite bath or shower rooms – two of the bedrooms on the first floor have terraces peeking out towards the sea whilst downstairs is an elegant master double as well as an independent twin which could be ideal for teens or other accompanying guests.
The idyllic garden feels like your very own rustic corner of paradise with its slightly raised stone swimming pool and vistas over the pine trees towards the sea. The poolside lighting adds to the magical ambience as you dine al-fresco on warm summer evenings.
Set above Plage de Palombaggia, it’s a very short drive to the beach’s white sandy shores, summer beachside restaurants and seasonal watersports. Whether relaxing by the pine trees or snorkelling in the clear sea, it’s no wonder that this is one of the island’s most iconic beaches. Furthermore, Plage de Tamaricciu is only 3km away whilst many more of southern Corsica’s finest beaches can be reached for a fantastic day out.
What you should know…
- One of the four bedrooms is in a separate garden annexe, just next to the villa with its own entrance, perhaps ideal for teenagers or accompanying guests.
- Take care with youngsters on the upper terraces and beautiful grounds.
- The equally beautiful Maison Forêt de Pins, just in front of Villa Ombre, is one of your nearest neighbours.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OmbreVilla Ombre enjoys an enviable location above one of Corsica’s most popular beaches, Plage de Palombaggia, 10km from Porto Vecchio in the south-eastern corner of this beautiful island.
Just a short drive away, find seasonal beachside restaurants and summer watersports along the pine-backed Plage de Palombaggia with idyllic white sand and clear water. The beach is especially popular in the summer months and it is a real privilege to be so near – whilst the house is 700m above the beach as the crow flies, there is no direct access on foot so a car is needed.
Just 3km along the coast, Plage de Tamaricciu is another picture-perfect beach to enjoy or venture further to Plage de Santa Giulia (11km) with yet more beachside restaurants and watersports. Around half an hour away, spend the day at Plage de Rondinara (23km), a gorgeous bay between Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio, or drive towards the glorious and usually less-crowded beaches around the Figari coastline including Plage de Tonnara (35km).
Soak up the ambience of Porto Vecchio (10km) with its 16th century citadel, bustling marina and a warren of historic lanes in the old town featuring delightful cafes, restaurants and bars. The exquisite town of Bonifacio (32km) is another must-visit during your stay – its beauty and character will take your breath away whether pottering around the artisan shops and restaurants of the perched citadel or admiring the incredible views out towards the sea.
To experience the dramatic scenery of Corsica’s interiors, hike through the Col de Bavella or venture to the Forêt de l'Ospédale, coming across pretty mountain villages just perfect for lunch in a traditional auberge serving delicious authentic Corsican fare.
