About the Villa

Views from Terrace:

Sunsets across the sea to the Isles des Sanguinaire are spectacular. At night the lights of Ajaccio across the bay sparkle like a diamond necklace. Into June, the snowcapped peaks of the island’s central mountain range provide an amazing backdrop as you sunbathe on the terrace. In season, you’ll be cooled by sea breezes while watching windsurfing, sailing and larger boats taking safe harbor in our local cove. The contrasting blues of the sea and the waves splashing on the rocky headlands just beyond our local sandy beach provide visual entertainment throughout the day.
