NEW FOR 2025
As one of the Med’s most upmarket destinations, Corsica has no shortage of statement villas, but if you’re looking for something a little smaller in a more authentic corner of the island, Villa Amelie fits the bill perfectly. The interiors are modern and well-designed, with large French doors opening directly onto the pool deck, complete with loungers and a dining table so you can make the most of the outside space. With two en-suite bedrooms, full air-conditioning and a private heated swimming pool, there’s everything you need here to relax in comfort and enjoy a week or two discovering ‘le Grand Sud’. And after a day of exploration, you can stroll to a fabulous ferme auberge restaurant, Pozzo di Mastri, just a four-minute walk from your front door.
This part of the island is celebrated for its fabulous beaches and its excellent wines, two things that also sit high on our holiday wish list! Figari is one of the island’s top wine-growing regions and you can visit many of the local vineyards to taste and buy if you like – we particularly like this one. The location of Villa Amelie makes it a great base for exploring. You’re equidistant (25-minute drive) between the two beautiful old towns of Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio, where luxury yachts fill the harbours all summer long. You’ll also find several wonderful sandy beaches within a short drive, including La Tonnara, an idyllic spot at any time of day, but especially magical at sunset, perhaps with a cocktail in hand from the popular beach restaurant.
Villa Amelie sits on its own plot, but also combines well with neighbouring Villa Margaux, should you wish to travel with friends but still retain some space and privacy. Their convenient location means that these villas don’t have the complete tranquillity of our more rural properties, however we feel that being so close to so many of the area’s highlights makes them an enticing and excellent value proposition.
