Overview

Pool Beach Nearby Ideal for Kids Parking Space

Villa Bambino is a unique Corsican villa in a privileged position with the most sensational views of Porto Vecchio Bay.

It was once owned by a famous French-Italian singer who made her name in the 60s and 70s. Little has changed since the mid-20th century and guests can appreciate its vintage décor and furnishings. We love the curved style of the open plan lounge, the gorgeous blue-tiled kitchen and the incredible terraces with their mesmerising vistas.

Over three floors, there is space for up to 12 guests across the six bedrooms and bathrooms, each double or twin featuring air-conditioning, some with terraces and more lovely views. Eat breakfast on the poolside patio, sip coffee by the al-fresco lounge and dine in the shade by the trailing bougainvillea. Villa Bambino is all about its wonderful setting and 70s vintage vibe.

Set high above the sea, part of a private domaine, there is a little bay and marina around 2km below whilst other gems along the coast are easily reached such as Plage de Saint Cyprien and Cala Rossa, both 8km by car. The glitz of Porto Vecchio, one of Corsica’s most popular towns, is just over a 10-minute drive away.

Bonifacio is another must-see on this beautiful island, surrounded by incredible coastal walking trails and pretty bays, or hop on a boat across the remote and idyllic Lavezzi Islands. Head inland for hiking through the enchanting Forêt de l'Ospédale or simply admire Corsica’s rugged beauty from a traditional mountain auberge serving the most delicious and seasonal Corsican fare.

Villa Bambino is around 5km from the heart of Porto Vecchio in south-eastern Corsica, a short drive from some of the island’s most popular beaches. Figari Airport is 28km by car or you can fly into Bastia, 125km away, following the main road down the east coast of the island.

In a private domaine overlooking the Bay of Porto Vecchio, there is a little beach around 2km below and a couple of seasonal restaurants. You will pass two large supermarkets en route to Porto Vecchio, 4km from the villa, meaning you are never too far away from useful amenities.

Driving slightly further north, two of southern Corsica’s most popular beaches can be reached in around 8km by car. Plage de Saint Cyprien is a long bay backed by a small handful of restaurants and also offers water-based activities whilst Plage de Cala Rossa is slightly smaller but equally beautiful, partly owned by an upmarket hotel. The crystal clear sea and gently shelving water makes these bays much-loved by families – head there early in the height of the summer to get a parking space.

Plage de Pinarellu (13km) is another Corsican gem, backed by pine trees, or you could drive further south to the two famous beaches, Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, both best visited in quieter months. Of course, the whole south coast of Corsica enjoys idyllic beaches – look out for some stunning coastal spots en route to Bonifacio and Figari including Plage de la Tonnara and Rondinara Beach.

Back to Corsica’s much-loved towns, Porto Vecchio is a delight to explore with its warren of historic lanes, restaurants and bars, alongside its upmarket marina. Bonifacio (34km) is absolutely stunning – walk up to its citadel for all sorts of charming shops and exquisite views of the sea below.

You should also try and find time to discover the interiors of the island, even if just driving to a local hillside village for delicious local fare in beautiful surroundings. The more adventurous can hike through La Forêt de l'Ospédale or partake in all sorts of outdoor activities in the Col de Bavella, a fantastic way to experience the beauty of inland Corsica.

Southern Corsica is a fantastic destination for families who can make the most of the island’s sensational beaches whilst appreciating the beauty of local towns, pretty villages and Corsica’s rugged interiors.

Around 2km below the villa is a small beach and marina overlooking Porto Vecchio Bay whilst further afield, around 8km by car, is the picture-perfect Plage de Saint Cyprien where you will find gorgeous sand, gently-shelving clear water, plenty of summer restaurants and seasonal watersports.

To the north, Plage de Pinarellu is another idyllic gem or drive south towards the famous beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia or the slightly quieter shores near Bonifacio and Figari. During the summer months there are plenty of water-based activities across the many beaches of south-eastern Corsica as well as boat trips of the gorgeous coastline.

Discover horse-riding, family walks and hiking trails, zip lines, canyoning, rock-climbing and so much more. Spend a fun family day out at Parc Aventure de Porto-Vecchio, just over 7km away, with its tree-top trails amongst the eucalyptus forest as well as trampolines, inflatables and go-karts.
