On a sunny hillside just a few minutes from the little town of Propriano, Villa Pilou is a well proportioned villa that occupies a quiet position at the edge of this well maintained residential development.

Surrounded by fragrant Oleander bushes, the main door opens on to the hallway decorated in white stucco. All the rooms lead from this hallway. To the left is the separate kitchen where there is a full cooker and washing machine, and a window overlooking the terrace. The main living is a large room comprising a dining area with a lovely wooden sideboard and large banquet style dining table with benches. There is also a comfortable seating area with leather sofa (converts to a small double sofabed), fireplace feature and a television. Two sets of French windows lead to the terrace with lovely views over the surrounding gardens to the bay of Propriano and the mountains beyond. The terrace has been furnished with loungers and a table and chairs for eating al fresco.

There are two bedrooms; the main double bedroom is at the end of the hallway and enjoys the same lovely views as the terrace and main living/dining room. This room is furnished with two wooden bedside tables, an art-deco style wooden dresser and mirror and traditional wooden armoire. The second bedroom is also traditional in style and is located towards the front of the house. It has twin beds, making Villa Pilou ideal for a family or even two couples who want to holiday together.

Les Hameaux de Propriano is an attractive development, landscaped into the hillside above the town. The collection of houses and apartments are scattered throughout the grounds, and surrounded with flowers and shrubs. There are four swimming pools - one tucked away just below the house (staggered opening between May and September), and a tennis court for the use of residents and their guests.

The main town of Propriano is just 15-20 minutes walk away so there is no need to worry about taking the car if you want to enjoy a glass or two of the excellent local wines with dinner, and one of the superb sandy beaches is just a little further, but there are lots of secluded coves and picturesque beaches stretching north of the bay towards Cappiciolo, and south towards Campomoro. Beautiful hills surround the bay and further inland, picturesque villages nestle amongst the green slopes.

However, the Valinco has a lot more to offer visitors than just beautiful beaches. For the more adventurous, there are a whole host of water sports and mountain activities on offer from diving, sailing and boat trips to horse-riding and even parachuting! The picturesque peaks of Les Aiguilles de Bavella (Bavella Needles) are an awe-inspiring area of granite spikes rising high above the ground. A walker's paradise, Bavella is worth a visit just for the scenery and keen photographers will not be disappointed! For those who prefer to take it easy, Propriano's bustling waterfront marina is the ideal place to enjoy refreshing drink in one of the many cafes lining the harbour, or sample some of the fresh fish caught that morning.

Please note that the pools are only guaranteed open from 15 May to 30 September.
