A Light-Handed Touch and Effortless Simplicity
Designed with a light-handed touch and uncomplicated style, this villa for rent in Corsica has a fresh, back-to-basics approach and effortless simplicity. It's bright and cheerful, with outdoor living spaces designed to take in the amazing island views.
Located above Propriano on the southern coast of Corsica, this lovely villa has been designed without any fussiness or pretense, allowing the structure to shine. The stone and wood exterior construction has a modernized country house feel, and the interiors are bright and expansive. Arranged over two floors, there are four bedrooms that can sleep up to eight guests, two of which have extra-large terraces and panoramic views. The open-plan kitchen flows out to the main living and dining areas with lofty vaulted wood ceilings, whitewashed interiors, and warm wood floors.
Bright and cheerful, the furnishings and decor are an eclectic mix of antiques and contemporary pieces. Both floors feature large terraces with daybeds and plenty of lounge spaces around the pool. Set in the middle of over an acre of olive groves, it offers panoramic views across the village and out to sea.
AROUND
The charming village of Olmeto is situated above the hills and canyons of Propriano, with beautiful views of the Gulf of Valinco. Situated between the headlands of Capo di Muro and Campomoro, the bay stretches along the rugged west coast from the sleepy, laid-back village of Porto Pollo to the lovely seaside village of Campomoro, and is dotted with beautiful white sand beaches and coves. Plage du Lido and Plage du Corsaire are two of the best, and further south is one of the wildest coastlines on the island.
Sartène also lies to the south and is said to be the most Corsican of Corsican towns with cobblestone streets and a historic atmosphere. Just a short drive north is the magnificent archaeological site of Filitosa with its stunning Neolithic megaliths. North of Porto Pollo is Cupabia, one of the most scenic of the Valinco region.
