On a quiet, sunny hillside just above the ramshackle little port of Propriano, Les Lentisques is a lovely new 3 bedroom house with private gardens and shared pool.

Within the grounds of a small family run residence, this house offers the best of both worlds. Adults will love the feel of a private villa, and their own garden in which to relax and perhaps enjoy an aperitif before wandering down to the port for a bite to eat, whilst the kids will welcome the chance to make friends at the large shared pool, and the thoughtful owners have even provided a table tennis table in the communal gardens to help keep them amused!

The house has a private entrance with plants lining the path that leads through the garden area to the front door. The front door opens onto the hallway off which is a bedroom with a large double bed with zip-lock mattress that can be converted into twin beds and views out to the front garden, and a spacious bathroom with shower attachment, toilet and washbasin. Glass panelled doors lead on to the open plan living/dining area which has been furnished with comfortable seating and a sofabed, television, DVD player and a dining table and chairs, and access to the main terrace and garden via sliding patio doors. An archway leads to the spacious modern kitchen which has been fully equipped with all the facilities one would expect of a house of this quality; large fridge-freezer, full oven and microwave, hob and integrated washing machine and dishwasher. From here there is a further door leading to the covered terrace to the side of the house.

From the living area six steps lead up to a spacious bedroom with large double bed with zip-lock mattress that can be converted into twin beds, plus an additional single bed. There is a large picture window and a porthole feature, both with views across fields to the sea. From this bedroom a door leads to a chambrette (a smallish bedroom) with a window and a single bed, which in turn leads to the second bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin.

For those who wish to visit early or late in the season, there is also central heating for the added comfort of guests.

Charles has spent many happy hours choosing the plants for the garden, all of which are indigenous to the island and have been chosen for their scent which perfumes the air in the early evenings. The house itself takes its name from the tree in the garden which provides a lovely shady area should you wish to escape the sun, and the terraces have also been constructed to provide areas of both sun and shade. The pool area and surrounding gardens are bursting with colourful flowers all through the summer, and you can help yourself to cooking herbs!

The main town of Propriano is just a short stroll away (although it is uphill on the way back!), and there you will find a many good restaurants and lots of interesting boutiques. You can walk to several good beaches from the residence or you may try further afield, whichever way you wont be disappointed. In the area you can also enjoy all the usual water sports, bathe in river rock pools or relax in the hot springs of Baracci, play tennis, go walking, horse-riding, diving, climbing, or take a train or boat trip. The more adventurous can try a tandem u.l.m., canyoning, parachuting, climbing or jetskiing.

The friendly owners will do their best to help you get the most from your holiday in Corsica, so besides all the usual holiday home equipment you will find parasols and isothermal picnic boxes to take out with you. There is also a collection of guide books, maps and information at your disposal.

Winter Holidays - Les Lentisques has central heating making it an ideal choice for winter holidays or even longer lets (special prices are available), so please ask for details.

Please note that the pool is only guaranteed to be clean and open from the first Sunday in May until the last Sunday in October, although in reality it is often open earlier/later depending on the number of guests and the weather.

Comments from previous guests...

'Just a short note to say thank you so much for our recent stay at Les Lentisques. We had a wonderful holiday and the villa was absolutely perfect for our stay. Thank you for arranging the high chair and the cot for Isla. We have lots of very happy memories of our holiday in Corsica, and we're already thinking of coming back next year! I hope the sun is still shining with you. It's turned quite cold back in England. Many thanks again.'

'We were the first family to stay in Les Lentisques. My husband, my daughter,her husband and our one year old grandson all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.We were absolutely delighted with the property, all the rooms were fitted out to the highest standard.We were really impressed and would very highly recommend the property. We really appreciated the welcome from Suzy and the welcome pack we were not expecting but found very useful. Corsica is a beautiful place,super beaches and some excellent food especially in the local village of Propriano. Thanks to Suzy and Charles for an excellent holiday.'

'It was positioned close enough to the beach to walk down and have a coffee and watch the cruise liners arrive.It was brand new fantastic interior and was cool with enough shade in the garden to be able to keep out of the sun which was needed with 32 degree heat every day. Great place, great location to visit the south of Corsica,good swimming pool,friendly owners and bonus was tennis courts and an athletic track a stones throw away for the more active!'

'We would like you to know what a splendid holiday we have just enjoyed chez vous. The scenery of Corsica is fantastic and your accommodation really is of a most high standard - the thought of sitting by the pool with the bougainvillea flanking the Mediterranean and the mountains is delightful. Corsica is so appealing that we want to see more of it! We will be strongly recommending Marie-Diane to our friends.'

'Thank you very much! We've had a lovely holiday here, we love the island and our apartment was wonderful, we'll definitely be back.'

'Merci pour votre accueil et votre gentillesse.'

'Thanks for a lovely holiday - the accommodation was excellent. We felt very relaxed when we came home. Thanks again.'

'Thank you for providing lovely accommodation for our holiday in Corsica. We enjoyed the walking immensely and the coast was stunning.'

'Dear Mrs Quilichini, my husband and I enjoyed our stay in your chalets with so many plants and flowers. The good atmosphere was granted by your personal presence.'

'This is a rather belated message to let you know how fabulous we found the residence. We'd like to tell all our friends but have decided to keep quiet so that we can go again! We had the best time and found Corsica to be every bit as great as we remembered it.'
