Casa d'Hugo, Lumio - 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6-7 people, Pool, terraces, sea views, television, walking distance to the village, beach nearby

Perched just above the charming village of Lumio, Casa d'Hugo is a spacious, modern villa with private pool with superb panoramic views of the bay of Cavi and the surrounding planes.

Built into the hillside, the house is arranged on two levels. The main door opens onto the hallway of the ground floor where the bedrooms are located. The master bedroom has a double bed, sea views and access onto the upper terrace where there is room to relax and unwind. The second bedroom also has sea views and access to the terrace, and here there is high sleeper with a single bed on the top level and a double bed below to allow for more flexible sleeping arrangements and making it suitable either for two children, or a couple. The third bedroom has bunk beds and sea views from the window. On this level is the family bathroom with bath and shower attachment over as well as two washbasins and a separate toilet.

Stairs lead down to the garden level where the living rooms are situated. There is a large sitting room with comfortable seating and a television with some English channels should you ever tire of the views. There is also a dining table and chairs and the thoughtful owners have provied a variety of books (mostly french) and games to help you while away the evenings. There is a spacious modern kitchen which has been well equipped with a full oven and four hob rings, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster and a cafetiere. There is also space to eat in the kitchen should you wish. There is also a further toilet on this level and a store cupboard.

French doors from the kitchen and the sitting room lead onto the side terrace and the garden with barbecue where there are plenty of quiet corners to relax and unwind. Steps lead down to the pool (approx. 8m x 4m) where you can find loungers and easy chairs. The sun rises behind the house making the terraces the perfect place to enjoy a shady breakfast, and sets behind the citadel which means that you can enjoy full sun all afternoon, and watch as it sinks below the ancient ochre buildings.

In the village there are two epiceries where you can buy a selection of groceries and a friendly café/snack bar. The house overlooks the renowned 'Chez Charles' restaurant at the entrance to the village where M. Lanzalavi entertains the guests most evenings with his mandolin. The village is situated just 10 minutes or so from the lively resort of Calvi if you fancy a change of pace, and it is also featured on the Stada di l'Artigiani (crafts trail) which winds its way through the network of little villages hugging the Balagne hills, and offers the change to see local artisans at work.

The beaches are simply stunning and again one has the choice of shallow gentle waters which are ideal for children, to picturesque rocky coves where you can nearly always find a quiet corner to relax undisturbed. For the more adventurous, there are a whole host of water sports and mountain activities on offer from diving, sailing and kit surfing to canyoning and horse-riding - there really is something for everyone.

Linen is included in the price of the rental.
