Backed by mountains and offering stunning panoramic sea views, this beautifully restored traditional Corsican bergerie is everything we remember and love about Corsica.
It is located on a private game reserve, at the end of a rather tricky steep road (but well worth it), and is a peaceful and perfect haven on the Isle of Beauty.
Built of traditional stone and limestone, it has kept all of its history and charm, with some stylish new finishes and details. The main living area overlooks the pool and gardens and is a cosy fireside place to gather, with a selection of personal and handpicked furnishings and decor. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen opens onto a shaded terrace overlooking the sea and the pool. The four bedrooms can accommodate up to ten guests, and it is a perfect family-friendly retreat away from it all.
The house is located in the Balagne region, on the north-west coast, an area of Corsica famed for its great local food products. The picturesque and charming village of Lumio is just down the road. Further east along the coast, you will find the wonderful and wild beach of Ostriconi, and further south are the Calanques de Piana, with incredible red rock formations above the sea for exploring. Be sure to take the drive along the Route des Artisans, which crosses several charming Corsican villages such as Pigna, Corbara and Sant’Antonino. In Lumio, the Clos Culombu wine estate offers a great look at the winemaking process, along with delicious tastings.
Nearby, Calvi is a bustling town with great cafés and shops and a beautiful and historic citadel.
