Island of Beauty

Island of Beauty: Corsica

Enjoying a wonderful hillside position, this stylish villa provides breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea and mountains. Step out onto the spacious terrace and soak up the spectacular scenery from the private pool or a comfy sun lounger. You may be able to spot the buzzing town of Porto Vecchio too, which resides just below the villa and offers an atmospheric old town and a yacht-lined port. Jump in the car and make the fifteen-minute drive to explore the narrow streets and 16th-century Genoese citadel. If a day at the beach is on the cards, the sugar-white shores of Santa Giulia are a mere ten minutes away.

After a busy day of seeing the local sights, head home to enjoy a family dinner on the patio. When you're finished, open a bottle of fizz or make yourself a cocktail and sink into the comfy outdoor sofa to watch the sun set over Corsica.
