Secluded and beautiful views villa In Eastern Corsica
We were a family of 4 adults and two children (ages 1 and 4) and stayed in this villa for two weeks in July 2023
The villa is in a secluded wooded area, about 50 meters from the sea. Just below the house is the sea, with a rocky beach, a bit difficult to swim from,(wear Tevas) but beautiful waters. We launched kayaks from there. There is a long, sandy swimming beach (Pinarello) about a 10 min drive. .The main house has 3 bedrooms. One on the main floor and two below. (One has to walk outside to access the lower bedrooms). The lower bedrooms each have a bathroom. The upper bathroom is shared by all. The 3 bedrooms have AC. There is a 4th bedroom, an exterior cottage, about 7 meters from the main house. It does not have a bathroom . The kitchen ( Ikea) is well equipped.
The villa has some nice amenities such as kayaks, beach towels, beach umbrellas. There is also a manager on call.
Cons: Mosquitoes and bees. (Obviously not the fault of the owner). They were so persistant, that after 3 days we gave up trying to have any meal outdoors, which was a pity given the spectacular view. We were constantly swooshing the bees and and mosquitoes. Our 1 year old had welts from the mosquito bites. So we had all meals inside. The indoor dining area had fans, but no AC. Nearby restaurants did not have the bee problem and only a few mosquitos.
Wifi:poor
Had it not been for the mosquitos and bees, we would highly recommend this villa.
