Description

This pool villa, perched on a panoramic slope surrounded by Corsican maquis, offers a blend of timeless rural barn inspiration and mid-century modern design. Located on a little plot known as “a lenza” in Corsican, this house rewards guests with breathtaking views extending to Sardinia and across the wild landscape of the Bay of Figari. This Corsican pool villa offers a unique design inspired by rural barns and modern lines, set in the aromatic maquis of Corsica. Wide windows and multiple decks provide 360-degree views of the rugged landscape, creating a connection between indoors and out. Interior living areas are open-plan and feature vintage and original pieces, like a rosewood Ole Wansher dining table from the 1960s and a 17th-century buffet, as well as pendant lamps, artworks and plants. A pool overlooks the distant mountain silhouettes and the maquis, while sliding doors and oversized windows open onto elevated terraces, adding a treehouse feel to the home. Perfect for those who love the outdoors, the property offers easy access to hiking and beachcombing paths right from the doorstep. Situated above the area known as Caconu in southern Corsica, about 20 kilometers northwest of Bonifacio, this home is nestled in a wild and lesser-traveled part of the island. Guests can explore the nearby ridge path, which is perfect for walking or jogging, or take a longer hike to Chevanu Beach and the Bruzzi Loop Path, which winds through granite boulder fields and past beautiful wild creeks. The area also features a striking red sand beach, a unique local phenomenon. For adventure seekers, a challenging hike leads to the Uomo di Cagna, a rocky formation resembling a human figure. The Bay of Figari is a favorite spot for kitesurfers, and the nearby Muchju Biancu Beach offers idyllic conditions when the wind is right. Local wineries, including the renowned Yves Canarelli’s vineyard, provide opportunities for wine tasting in Corsica’s oldest AOC wine region. The home is solar-powered and designed to offer an eco-friendly stay without sacrificing comfort. Its remote location and unique design make it ideal for guests seeking a peaceful retreat, with nature and outdoor adventures right on the doorstep. The house provides the perfect base for exploring southern Corsica’s stunning landscapes, from secluded beaches to scenic hiking trails.
