Dating back to the times of the Roman Empire, Porto-Vecchio is as picturesque and charming as any town in the Mediterranean. This gorgeous apartment sits in a renovated 19th-century building in the heart of the Old Town and offers stunning views in every direction. Inside, cool off from the midday heat in the air-conditioned living space while enjoying the natural light and views across the town. Our favourite bit is the expansive roof terrace, the ideal place to gather for soaking up the Corsican sunshine. The well-shaded dining area has its own barbecue so you can sit down to eat alfresco at lunchtime. There’s also a relaxing chill-out area, with wicker furniture and beanbags overlooking the Mediterranean sea below. If you can tear yourself away from your home's many little luxuries, you're only a fifteen-minute walk from a sandy beach and the charming marina filled with bobbing yachts, while just outside your door, the Old Town offers up restaurants, bars and plenty of cultural attractions including the impressive Église St-Jean-Baptiste.

Lounge by the pool surrounded by verdant trees and listen to the bird song when you stay at this villa in the hamlet Trinité de Porto-Vecchio. We adore the views over the Corsican countryside from the balcony (one of two). Have a game of boules, then fire up the barbecue for lunch or head to the modern kitchen and whip up some aziminu (Corsican bouillabaisse). There are more of those fabulous vistas from inside too. The open plan living space, with its wood floors, white-washed walls, and a log burner, is perfect for entertaining. This place is ideal for a family or group of friends.

This home is just 2 kilometres from the sea, 5 kilometres from Cala Rossa beach and 4 kilometres from Porto-Vecchio, with its narrow streets lined with shops, bars and restaurants.

Located within a vast, rural estate and surrounded by pomegranate and olive trees, this captivating Corsican home really does have it all. Boasting mesmerising Cagna Mountain views, terraced gardens and an outdoor pool and hot tub, this heavenly home guarantees a hefty dose of good, old-fashioned R & R. Dating back to the mid-19th century this former school features a rustic, farmhouse-style kitchen and an open-plan living and dining room complete with terracotta tiled floors and beautifully vaulted, wooden ceilings.  

You’ll love tucking into your daily delivery of home-made pastries before whiling away hours lazing on loungers in the sun, dipping in and out of the pool or luxuriating in your private, outdoor hot tub. Prepare firm family favourites on the range in the kitchen or hang out in the outdoor kitchen, before feasting on barbecued delights on the covered, poolside deck. Spend the afternoon reading or reclining on the raised terracotta terrace or wander about the garden while inhaling the intoxicating scents of eucalyptus and maquis. Whatever you do, don’t forget to host a hammam session before grabbing a bottle of the estate’s fine wine and watching the sunset behind the mountains.

Alternatively, if you fancy a little light exploration, one of the island’s most idyllic beaches, Plage de Roccapina is just 14km away whilst the historic village of Sartène can be reached in 20 minutes by car.

Offering everything you need for a serene island break, this charming two-bedroom apartment is located close to the crescent-shaped white sand beach, gentle lapping waves and beach bars of family-friendly Lozari in Corsica's less-explored north-west corner.

Its central living room and kitchen acts as the hub of the home, with the twin bedroom and main bathroom leading off it. Large bifold doors open out onto a balcony shaded by canvas sails to keep you from getting scorched beneath cloudless Corsican skies. Meanwhile, there's a double bedroom upstairs, complete with its own shower and basin.

After spending a couple of days unwinding close to home, you might find yourself with an urge to explore the area. Head east along winding mountain roads to the untamed landscapes of the Agriates Desert, before continuing on to Saint-Florent, its imposing 15th-century citadel looming large on the horizon.

Alternatively, drive south along the coast to the Riviera-style seaside town of Île Rousse for a taste of Corsican luxury. After perusing its upmarket boutiques, why not continue to Calvi? The island's cultural capital benefits from a bustling atmosphere and awe-inspiring views over the bay.


Stay the Corse

Lift Access

We love the uninterrupted bucolic views from this contemporary home on the outskirts of Porto Vecchio. The location gives you the best of both worlds —you're within easy reach of Corsica’s answer to St. Tropez (it’s a 10-minute walk to the edge of town) but you can come home to relax in the quiet countryside. The big terrace has bags of space for everyone, and a barbecue to boot. Here you’ll find it easy to unwind after a busy day pounding the picturesque city streets, biking, hiking or just making the most of the island’s beautiful beaches. Inside, this modern apartment pops with a fun touch of 70s nostalgia. The giant statement circular mirror, splashes of burnt orange and wrap-around wooden panels ensure the living area is a focal point, although it's still very much a comfortable place to kick back — so stock up the fridge with wine and make yourself at home.

In the rugged south of Corsica, near Bonifacio, sits this chalet-like retreat in the hills. Wood-clad outside, it blends in with the rolling scenery, where ancient woodlands cover the hills like a deep green blanket. It’s a ten-minute drive into Bonifacio, an ancient port town with a buzzing marina and medieval hilltop citadel. The villa itself is set in field-like lawns where a shady olive grove invites you for an afternoon stroll. The turquoise swimming pool sits pride of place on the deck and is lined with loungers. Outdoor dining is on offer under the shaded terrace, framed by ivy. Inside it feels natural with wooden walls and a white-wash vaulted ceiling. Floor to ceiling windows show off a view of the flowering garden on all sides and the huge corner sofa is big enough to fit the whole family easily. There’s something bohemian yet sleek about the decor, where a collection of books and records sit on shelves and touches like the tree-branch standing lamp and raw wood coffee table are a reflection of the ancient woodlands just beyond your front door.

Sitting between the sea and the mountains, this villa is the ultimate retreat for a relaxing family holiday or friendly get-together in the Med. Inside, it’s a blend of contemporary and traditional styles. There’s an elegant living space with a wood-burning fire to keep you toasty if you’re visiting during the cooler months and sleek walk-in showers in the bathrooms for rinsing sandy toes after long summer days spent exploring the coast. 

Chop, season and grill local produce in the summer kitchen then plate up your creations at the dining table. Once you’re replete, spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the private pool or slap on your suncream and unwind on Arinella Bianca Beach, a twelve-minute drive away. If you’re the type who likes to keep active on your holidays, head over to the Trou du Diable hiking area. Return home in the evening for a glass of well deserved wine on the fragrant terrace before retreating to the quiet bedrooms for a deep and restful slumber.

In our opinion, a trip to Corsica is always a good idea. The scenery is exquisite, the food a marvel, and the beaches are something from a dream. We love this pretty stone house in the seaside resort of Moriani Plage – it’s a splendid base for a family or a group of friends. 

The house is simple and bright, with a neutral colour scheme that lends itself to relaxation. There’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together, whether it’s around the piano in the living room or in the dining room. When the sun is shining, you’ll want to be outside to enjoy every last second of it. Happily, there’s a wonderful garden here. Little ones will love playing on the lawn, while grown-ups might prefer sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine. There’s a hammock to doze in, and a barbecue for alfresco meals – we’d be buying some fresh seafood for sure. 

This home is in a quiet residential area so you’ll really be able to relax and unwind. That’s not to say that it’s a sleepy spot though – Padullela Park is across from the house, with its tennis courts and play area. Moriani Beach is a seven-minute walk from the house, and you can stroll for a gelato a couple of minutes away. If you feel like being a bit more active, you might try your hand at jet skiing or sailing. Hikers will love exploring the Costa Verde trails. There’s something for everyone here.

Nice to haves

This awesome architect designed villa boasts a blissful combination of inimitable indulgences – including a balcony, multi-layered gardenscape, outdoor swimming pool and an alfresco lounging, barbecuing and dining terrace – all with sublime sea views. Such mesmerising Mediterranean scenes can also be appreciated from the open plan kitchen cum dining cum living room as well as from the master bedroom, while the additional bedrooms offer access to the garden. While gazing out to sea you’ll love lazing on the outdoor sofa, taking the plunge in your private pool, feasting alfresco on barbecued delights and sneaking off for a sundowner with your beloved on the balcony.  

A sculptural spectacle in its own right featuring a carefully curated series of beautifully and individually decorated rooms, this cool, contemporary Corsican home will wow both the artsy and the outdoorsy. You’ll delight in the diversity that is wall paper meets marble tiles as well as the celebration of the cohesive use of contrasting and yet complementary colour combinations.

Your home’s unique location on the outskirts of the village of Erbalunga – remarkable for its 16th-century Genoese tower built on a rock at the entrance to the port – means you’ll not only be able to pop to the shops, but also sample the several restaurants dotted around its central square. What’s more, with the beach only a ten-minute drive away, the more adventurous among you will appreciate the opportunity to hike, dive and canoe.

From the moment you step inside this home, you’ll be drawn out onto the terrace. Secluded and serene, it has the most stunning views across the bay of Ajaccio – a sight we’re sure you’ll never tire of. 

Wander back inside, and this home gives a very distinct nod to its surroundings. Pops of teal and blue are peppered throughout this apartment, mirroring the tones of the ocean outside, and with coastal decor adorning the walls and shelves. It’s compact but comfortable with that little touch of class, making it the ideal base for exploring the local area. 

Locally, you may want to visit the old town of Ajaccio or perhaps you long to feel the sand between your toes – if so, you’re in luck, as Porticcio beach is just a short four-minute drive away. After a day of adventure, return home, pour yourself a glass of wine, and head onto your terrace where you can snuggle up on the sofa. As the day draws to an end, watch as the sun sets over the Iles Sanguinaires (The Blood Islands) – named for their dark red colour. As the sky turns from its orange glow to black, look up at the blanket of stars above. With just the sound of the ocean and the feel of the breeze tickling your skin, you won’t find a better way to end the day.

Perched high above the sea in the village of Monticello in Upper Corsica, this elegant villa has everything you need for a quiet, coastal retreat. Inside, earthy tones mix with comfortable furniture that invites you to relax. We love the cosy living room, with leather sofas for you to kick back and watch a movie after a day enjoying all that this stretch of coastline has to offer. There’s no extravagance here, and there’s no attempt to distract from everything the outside space has to offer, which is something that really sets this villa apart. 

Step out onto your sun-drenched terrace and you’re met with a sea so blue, it’s hard to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. Your private pool welcomes you in for a refreshing dip and is somewhere you could easily while away the hours as the sun warms your skin. When dry land calls, settle down on a sun lounger with your holiday read and get lost in a story. In such a peaceful setting, all you’ll hear is the quiet song of the birds in the surrounding trees.

When you’re ready for a change of scenery, there are plenty of boutiques and local markets to peruse, perhaps picking up some delicious local produce to take home and rustle up a dinner to enjoy alfresco under the stars.

The home's shining jewel, however, is the spacious terrace. With a lovely view of flower-dotted bushes, luscious trees, the glittering Mediterranean sea, and the curved hills, it's a great space to relax and soak up the sun.

Fling open the French doors in the morning and have a breakfast of buttery croissants from the boulangerie just steps away, and enjoy them with the view from the stylish living room dining table.

Enchanting Seaside Haven

The craggy coastline and chic coastal towns are perfect for a discerning holiday-maker, but this tonal abode will tick all the right boxes too. Sleek, uncrowded interiors give way to a wrap-around balcony with mountain views, and the openness of the outdoor space makes it feel like an extension of the already spacious apartment. It’s definitely a spot that calls for your attention, be it for a croissant breakfast or an indulgent evening meal.

And to make good use of its enviable location, the home boasts another outdoor space on the lower ground floor. We can imagine you'll be spending most of your time in these outdoor spaces – savouring a fresh morning coffee, nursing an afternoon glass of wine, or preparing a barbecue feast for dinner. 

Exploring Pietrosella and the rest of Corsica comes easy here. Go for a revitalising morning swim in the nearby cove, just a three-minute walk away, or spend lazy days relaxing on one of the nearby beaches, the closest being just an eight-minute drive away. The island is known for its dramatically beautiful hikes nearly as much as its idyllic beaches – there are so many valleys and trails to explore.

Umbrellas

Among the mountain landscapes, quaint villages and rolling hills of the Balagne region, this delightful villa enjoys a privileged position, overlooking the Corsica countryside. Designed by the owner, who just so happens to be an architect, this home was created with care and attention.

Authentic materials have been used to preserve the period charm of the interiors. The beauty isn't limited to the inside, either – step out onto the teak wood terraces and discover breathtaking views over the fortress of hilltop villages and rugged greenery below. Start the day with coffee and a dip in the private pool, taking a moment to fully appreciate the spectacular scenery around you before heading off to explore it.

Spend an afternoon strolling towards the local winery, where you can sample some of the area's most highly regarded wines, or use one of the inter-village walking trails to hike through the hills.

The sunny, south-facing terrace is the cherry on top, continuing the contemporary, boho design. We do love the interior, but we can imagine lots of morning coffees, lunches, dinners, and evening drinks will go on around this outdoor table. And with a mountainous view like that, who can blame you?

When it's time to explore, you're a short walk from the dramatic coast. Corsica is known for its active culture as well as its pristine beaches, so whether you want to relax on the beach, take on water sports, or go for a beautiful hike, you can easily do it all here. And Calvi is Corsica's main hub – perfect for a drink or two along the marina, after a day of enjoying the sun.

Majestic Retreat

If you're looking to be close to the sandy beaches and turquoise water coves of Corsica, then this modern apartment is the place for you. Situated close to Ajaccio, in the charming town of Pietrosella, you're surrounded by unspoilt countryside and rolling hills with the shimmering sea always in full view, especially from your private terrace. 

Days begin out here, tucking into a French breakfast of tasty pastries and coffee as you pack your seaside essentials for a day down on Agosta Beach, a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. Inside, it's a stylish affair with brown leather furnishings and chic decor. Flop down on the sofa and relax in the afternoons with a good glass of wine, slide open the balcony doors, instantly expanding your communal space. 

When it's time to head back out, we recommend a visit to the vast wine estates of Capitoro and Omasca, only twenty minutes away by car. Fill your evenings at the charming port city of Ajaccio, a half-hour drive away, enjoying excellent seafood restaurants and a couple of sundown cocktails along the sparkling harbour. 

From Hill to Sea

Overlooking the red rocks of L'Île-Rousse, this captivating Corsican getaway offers a welcome respite from your usual routine. We invite you to while away a few hours gazing out over the endless blue of the Mediterranean from the inviting pool or stepping straight out of bed and onto the balcony from the main bedroom.

Inside, the decor is simple and uncluttered, leaving the views to take the limelight. The colour palette makes use of neutral earth tones to create a relaxing atmosphere, with the occasional piece of eye-catching artwork or imposing sculpture to add to the visual interest.

It's a similar story in the kitchen, where you can prepare group meals looking out over the garden. Though your hosts' hotel is so close, there's always the temptation to head there for an indulgent breakfast buffet.

No trip to Corsica would be complete without at least a day or two spent exploring. With spectacular mountain vistas, hilltop fortress villages and picture-perfect beaches, the La Balagne is well worth your time. We'd suggest hiring a car to explore at your own pace, discovering historic settlements such as Pigna, woodland trails and beach restaurants that look out over secluded coves. Alternatively, take the U Trinichellu train as far as the vibrant city of Calvi, passing beautiful beaches and quaint seaside towns along the route.

Live from Red Rocks

Making a stunning first impression with its terracotta-coloured walls and shutters, the real show-stopping feature of this home is actually found around the back where a large, arching window acts as a portal between the indoor space and the lush garden, and the sea views beyond that. 

Sit outside, without the barrier of glass or walls, first thing in the morning and take a moment for coffee and contemplation as you bask in the tranquillity on offer here. Little ones can run around, inspecting hedges and smelling flowers, as they let their imaginations go.  

Cook in the kitchen, where the beautiful stained-glass panels and yellow tiles will brighten any day, and eat the offerings together at the dining table. 

The beach lies at the other end of a ten-minute drive, and you’re about five minutes away from the most breathtaking panoramic views at Sant-Antonino. Explore Aregno itself – every hamlet has something else to offer – and return home after stopping off at a pizzeria to dine alfresco at sunset. 

Arcus

Outdoor Shower

Immersed in a sanctuary of olive trees with spectacular views across the mountains of Occhiatana, this home welcomes you to enjoy the abundant beauty of Corsica.

There are also several terraces and shady spots for lounging, reading and enjoying glasses of wine as the sun sets. And for those evenings when you want to sit under the stars, the barbecue and dining area welcome you to experience the true magic of outdoor living.

Maison Olive

Only three-hundred metres from the white sandy stretch and turquoise waters of San Ciprianu beach on the island of Corsica, this home is a barefooted, laidback retreat. The newly built townhouse is all about minimalist, chic style – think muted tones and dark floor tiles in rooms. The occasional string of fairy lights and intriguing fabric mask inject some colour into the space, but really it's the series of patios and terraces where you'll be spending most of your time. Set on two levels, the plot has several outdoor spaces for congregating. During the day, the front patio is flooded with sunshine, so take up your spot on the sun loungers to soak up some rays. As the evening starts to draw in, the private back courtyard is all set for an intimate night, starting with drinks on the corner grey sofa, before moving to the alfresco dining table next to the tree that's pushed its way through the floor slats. This is a place to be in the here and now with your loved ones – bliss on Corsica.

The Last Tide

Perched at an elevated vantage, it's just a pebble's throw away from Ile Rousse’s inviting sands. Balance life's tempo in sync with nature on this two-hectare spot of earth; private, yet shared. A swimming pool rippling pleasantly amidst natural surroundings promises invigorating dips. The villa captures you with its modernity and comfort, showcasing four rooms promising restful slumber. An open kitchen lets creativity bloom, while the substantial lounge draws together dining and relaxation under one roof, leading out to the terrace and pool. Sit back on the terrace with its ample view, savouring a cool evening or a sun-drenched morning. Make lasting memories over barbecue nights under star-flecked skies. A no-smoking policy and preference for tranquillity keeps the atmosphere pure.

Corsican Whispers

Escape to a quiet cove on Corsica's northwestern coastline for a stay at this charming villa. Though the exterior exudes traditional French style, inside you'll find modern furnishings and appliances including a freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The open-plan living space offers plenty of places for you to relax with friends or family, whether that's chatting at the dining table or unwinding on the corner sofa. However, it's likely that you'll spend most of your time on the terrace, relaxing with a cold drink on the lounge set and admiring views of the Mediterranean. Galéria is a quiet coastal village, where you'll find a couple of traditional Corsican restaurants, bars and a supermarket. Hike the trails to the Genoese tower by the shore, or venture further into the Corsican hills. End your day with a barbecue at your villa, watching night fall on the village and mountains. 

Napoleon's Footsteps

Safe

Situated on the shores of western Corsica, this bright and modern apartment is an excellent base from which to explore the Gulf of Ajaccio. The place is fuss-free and inviting, with a comfortable loveseat strategically positioned in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and a dinky kitchenette for putting together charcuterie boards. Spend mornings unwinding on the terrace before heading down to the communal pool for a leisurely swim. 

Should you fancy a change of scenery, jump in the car and take the short drive to the idyllic Plage de Porticcio or head over to Ajaccio, the island’s capital city and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Brush up on your art history knowledge at the Fesch Museum then seek out a harbourside restaurant for a slap-up seafood supper.

With an advantageous hillside position giving way to panoramic views of Palombaggia Bay, this home is all about tranquillity. You'll find a private swimming pool and alfresco dining table all positioned towards the scenery. Personally, we like the little observation nook. Two chairs create the perfect opportunity for a romantic sunset moment. Though the interior doesn't quite hold a candle to the surroundings, it's still comfortable. There's also more than enough room for a family or group of friends. As for location, beach lovers can rejoice knowing they're only 800 meters from Palombaggia Beach. 

Bayview Bliss

Single-Level Home

We've come to the conclusion that this Corsican apartment scores high on all fronts. Not only does the interior design feel bright and modern, but being on the ground floor of the building means that the home has its own private terrace, too. Throw open the glass doors and you'll find a leafy spot to sit, eat or just sunbathe during baking hot afternoons. What's more, guests get access to the complex's shared gardens and outdoor swimming pool, which is more than big enough for you to practise your breaststroke. The home's location has lots going in its favour too, with the centre of Porto Vecchio just over ten minutes away in the car and the nearest beach taking less than five minutes to reach on foot.

Tranquil Oasis by the Sea

Multiple Sets of Keys

Welcome Hamper

This lovely stone villa sits off the tourist trail in the northwestern Balagne region of the island. Known for its spectacular scenery and hilltop communes, you'll find this particular home just outside the authentic Corsican village of Feliceto.

Step inside this welcoming home, and you'll uncover a light and spacious open living room and kitchen, with several French doors offering direct access to the outdoor terrace. From here, you can lay out by the pool and enjoy the lush green landscapes, with olive trees that run from the village all the way to the Renucci and Maestracci vineyards. 

Feliceto is nestled in the foothills of the Montegrosso Massif and surrounded by sky-high peaks that reach close to 2,000m. The village gets its name from the river, where you'll find locals of all ages frolicking in the water over the summer months. Elsewhere, you can also experience local life at the 'ghjardinettu', the village square where you'll find people simply watching the world go by. Slightly further afield, head half an hour west to the coast at Calvi, the island's capital of culture, or visit the wild and beautiful Agriates Desert, forty minutes north of the villa.

Where Eagles Soar

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.
