The stunning beaches and breathtaking mountains of Corsica

Just a few minutes from the old Genoese city of Porto-Vecchio and some of the most beautiful beaches of south Corsica, Casa Aqua is a superb villa set in mature gardens with a large private pool.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading onto the main living areas which are open plan. There is a large sitting dining room with comfortable seating, satellite television and DVD as well as a stereo/CD player and fireplace feature. From here large patio doors lead onto the main terrace and the pool beyond. To one end of the living room is the dining area with table and chairs for 6 people. An archway beyond leads to the American style kitchen which is fully equipped with a full oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as the extras one would expect in a house of this standard such as toaster, cafetiere and a store room housing the iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner.

Also on the ground floor is the master bedroom which has a kingsize bed (160cm) and private shower room and toilet arranged in the style of a hammam. For the convenience of guests, there is a further toilet and washbasin on this level. Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms; one with double bed and the other with two single beds. There is also a family bathroom with corner bath and shower attachment over, and two wash/handbasins and a separate toilet.

The house stands in 1150 square metres of land and the large private pool (8m x 5.5m) is surrounded by trees and shrubs. The pool is heated from October until May, making it ideal for out of season visits. There is plenty of terrace space as well as a 'salon de jardin' with grill where you can enjoy barbecues if you don't want to venture out in the evening.

Should you ever tire of the views, Casa Aqua is just a few minutes drive from the town of Porto Vecchio where you can wander through the narrow streets and visit the chic boutiques offering the latest fashion, jewellery and local products. The medieval town of Bonifacio is also well worth a visit and is only about half an hours drive away. Right at the southern-most tip of the island, here you will find an intriguing mixture of Corsican and Italian influences which can be attributed to the numerous battles that have raged in the past, and the proximity to neighbouring Sardinia which is just 12km away by boat. Just outside Bonifacio is the fabulous Sperone Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, this is renowned as one of the best course in europe.

However, without doubt, one of the greatest attractions of this area are the beaches which are perhaps some of the best known on the island. Palombaggia and Santa Giulia are just a few minutes drive away, and the shallow waters mean that it is normally warm enough to swim earlier and later in the season that in many other areas.

The owners like to take full advantage of their lovely house during the summer, so please note that Casa Aqua is only available for bookings from the beginning of October until the end of May each year.

Linen is included in the rental.

Comments from previous guests...

'This is an extremely well maintained property in one of the most scenic areas of Corsica. It has all of the facilities that any family would require and is very centrally located in terms of touring the island. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and if we were to chose to go back to Corsica again we would have no hesitation in booking this property. We would definitely recommend it to any of our friends. Recommended for: Families with Young Children.'

'We stayed in Casa e Aqua villa in October 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. The villa is lovely, with fantastic views and is very well situated just off the main road which gives easy access to everywhere you'll want to visit. The pool is beautiful and the villa itself is perfect for groups from 2 people to 6 people. There is also a great restaurant within walking distance, just at the bottom of the road near the roundabout! Recommended for: Adventure Seekers, Age 55+, Families with Teenagers, Girls Getaway, Romantic Getaway, and Sightseeing.'
