Villa U Tramontu

Lovely house but a little far from shops and two hours from the airport.

Our two week stay in this house was wonderful. Our group consisted of four adults and three children ages 6, 4 and 1. The setting is lovely. The property is attractively landscaped, and the multitude of porches and terraces provide space for everyone to sit and relax in peace! The view could not be better, and we spent quite a few days and nights enjoying it. The owner was as responsive and responsible as any I've ever experienced before (and I've rented 14 houses in the last 7 years). When we had difficulty finding the house (and conversing with the French caretaker) the owner's daughter made all the necessary calls to get everything in order. A small problem with the dishwasher was dealt with immediately. The owner is definitely on top of things and takes good care of the house. The bedrooms are simply furnished but the house in general feels extremely comfort-able. The bathrooms are nice, clean and bright, the kitchen is well kitted out and there are pool toys available for the kids. There are ample beach towels and bath towels and paper towels for that matter!! This is not a house where the owner leaves you with one roll of toilet paper and says, 'good luck'. You will have every-thing you need. We were pleased to find that the house is quite child friendly. The main living areas are on a different level from the pool, so the kids could play on the porch off the living room while we cooked dinner and we knew that there were gates and doors preventing them from getting down into the pool area. The house is on an attractive peninsula overlooking the harbor. There are several nearby beaches to choose from, some within walking distance, but we especially liked one that was a 15-minute drive away and had good restaurants, perfect white sand, chairs to rent and shallow blue water. Given the challenging, twisty roads between the house and the nearest towns.... we tended to stay in at night and cook our own meals, but there are some nice restaurants within a 30-minute drive. We did not use the single bedroom downstairs, but I feel I should mention that it is very small. Overall, we loved our time in this home. I use the word 'home' because unlike many rental houses, this one feels as though it is lovingly cared for and used on a regular basis by its owners. I recommend this home highly.

I recently celebrated my fiftieth birthday holiday at this villa. We had eleven adults, in all, filling the 6 bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms face the beautiful Mediterranean with views of the city of Ajaccio and the mountain ranges beyond. There were no complaints from those in the back bedrooms, who enjoyed late morning rises, undisturbed by the rest of the guests. The villa itself is situated on a hillside with views on three sides. A heated pool seamlessly melds the picturesque landscape with the beautifully landscaped yard and terrace. The well-appointed kitchen allowed us to enjoy many of our meals at home at one of four dining areas both inside and out. There is a banquet-seating corner on the upper terrace that was perfect for sunset happy hours or early morning coffee and croissants. There wasn’t a time of day or night when the view was any less than stunning. It was also only a quick walk down to a great swimming cove amongst the impressive boulders that made up the shoreline. The owners were very accommodating and helpful with suggestions to make the best of our experience on Corsica. I would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a special destination for a special holiday.

Our two week stay at Villa U Tramontu was an absolute dream; I could not be more enthusiastic in recommending this home to anyone looking to spend their vacation in a veritable paradise. We were 2 couples, 3 children and 1 grandparent, and booked an 'off-season' holiday at the end of September. Not long after our arrival we realised a major perk of booking "off season": uncrowded beaches with absolutely perfect summer weather! Villa U Tramontu's spectacular ocean-view infinity pool is surrounded by lounge-chairs and palm trees and bordered by a lush garden... good luck ever tearing yourself away. I should also mention that this lavish pool area is accessible by both the main living quarters of the house and by the bedrooms, which we found extremely convenient for our kids and elderly grandparent. Pool amenities also include a shaded lounge and dining area (also with an Ocean view), a barbecue, outdoor refrigerator, pool toys and floats, and easy access to a downstairs kitchenette. The grounds at the front of the house include a lush garden, an elevated hammock-hideaway in a quiet shady corner, and an outdoor eating area punctuated by a lovely little fountain. The bedrooms are attractively furnished, comfortable and very clean. Five out of six have full attached bathrooms. All bedrooms are equipped with WiFi and air conditioning, as is the main area of the house. The upstairs living/dining/den areas are elegant yet cosy at the same time, and the entire back "wall" of this floor is com-posed of large sliding glass doors that open onto a beautiful terrace running the length of the entire villa. There is a dining area and lounge on this upper terrace as well! The kitchen has every piece of equipment you can think of. The owners of this home are easily reached and are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be booking again, and I encourage anyone interested in perfection to do the same!
