Less than 100m from the gorgeous sandy coves of Abbartello, Le Palmier Etage is ideally situated for families who want to be within easy distance of the beach and a good selection of beachside restaurants.

The house is arranged over one level on the first floor. A few steps lead up from the driveway to the entrance which opens onto the well equipped kitchen.
   

The family lived here themselves for many years, so there are lots of extra little bits and bobs that one does not always find in houses that have been equipped purely for summer rentals. The kitchen has French windows giving onto the part covered terrace at the front of the property which enjoys lovely views of the Gulf of Valinco. The main living room is a good size and has been equipped with two comfortable leather sofas and a stylish glass and rattan dining table and chairs. This room also has sliding patio doors to the terrace where there is a further table and chairs for those who prefer to eat al-fresco. The terrace is partly enclosed making it a lovely spot to sit and relax even outside of the main season.

There are three bedrooms in total; two with double bed and the third with a high sleeper and double sofabed bed below allowing for extra guests or more flexible sleeping arrangements. The family bathroom has a bath, separate shower and toilet. The main bedroom and living room are air conditioned for the greater comfort of guests. To the side of the house is a further small terrace which the owner tells us is ideal for coffee and croissants in the morning.

There are a couple of good restaurants within just a few minutes stroll of the apartment - ideal for those who want to enjoy a glass or two of the excellent local wines without having to worry about the car. During the main season (mid June - mid September) there is also a little self service Spar shop about 500m from the apartment where you can buy bread and other essentials if you don't fancy eating out every day, and there is a large supermarket in Propriano which is just a 10-15 minute drive away.

The beaches in this area are some of the most picturesque in the Valinco gulf and here you will find a combination of intimate coves and creeks where you can relax undisturbed amongst the rocks and stretches of golden sand. However, the beaches are only part of the story, and the valinco has a lot more to offer visitors from the intriguing pre-historic site at Filitosa, to Sartene, the most Corsican of Corsican towns, and Propriano's bustling waterfront marina where you can sample some of the fresh fish caught that morning whilst watching the sun set over the bay. The captivating village of Olmeto was once a favourite spot with artists such as Edward Lear, and it is easy to see why.
