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.

About Corsica
Like a rugged jewel in the middle of the Mediterranean, there’s a reason Corsica is known as the “Isle of Beauty”. The French island boasts secluded beaches with glittering blue waters, picturesque cliff-side villages, and breathtaking mountain views. Corsica offers extremely diverse experiences, including snorkeling, wine tasting, and kayaking. For the keen hiker, there are hundreds of scenic trails, although shared with goats, cows, and other wildlife. A good place...

This home is managed by Oliver
