The luxury Corsican Villa now available for holiday rentals, is situated in the south of Corsica, a short drive from the stylish and sophisticated cosmopolitan town of Porto Vecchio, with its tangle of back streets, vast array of restaurants, bars, boutiques and bustling port complete with stunning super yachts.

It has a character all of its own, offering culture, history and a completely unspoilt coastline, with exquisite beaches that rival the Caribbean.

Corsica offers something for everyone, whether that’s a relaxed family holiday, exhilarating water sports activities, walking amongst the breathtaking mountain scenery, beach or poolside relaxation.

From this haven, you can walk down the hill directly to one of Corsica's best beaches. You can enjoy a multitude of concierge services that come with this amazing house - private chef providing continental breakfast each morning (a 5 day package to provide either lunch or dinner can be arranged at a supplementary cost) and hostess/cleaner are included in this luxury villa rental. Plus you can order in massage and beauty therapies or pre-book childcare and pre-arrival provisions.
