The Air Up Here

Holiday Rental Description

If you’re chasing turquoise waters and laid-back living then look no further than this sun-drenched villa. Perched high on a verdant hillside overlooking the Porto-Vecchio region of Corsica, this home boasts unobstructed views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and villages below. The open-plan layout of the home means you can enjoy the views of the Corsican countryside from almost every room, and you definitely won’t tire of these views.

Floor-to-ceiling pocket doors expose the living area to the terrace, inviting in the warm sea breeze and fresh mountain air. Here, it’s easy to sprawl out on a plush sofa with a book in hand, or while away the day poolside. If the Corsican heat proves too much, the private saltwater pool welcomes you into its cool embrace – we recommend an evening swim as the sun dips below the Tyrrhenian Sea. Once nighttime falls, it’s the perfect time to gather around the patio and stargaze, and you’ll be charmed to see the lights of hamlets glitter below. For a change of scenery, the beach of Santa Giulia is only an eight-minute drive away, where you can dip your toes in warm waters or dine in one of the lively beachfront restaurants.
