House / Villa - Poggio d''oletta

Our family's week at Jacques's house was absolutely wonderful. The house itself is beautiful and thoughtfully equipped, offering truly breathtaking views that you could spend all day admiring. We appreciated being just a short drive from the beach, yet still enjoying the peace and quiet away from the main crowds. The option to enjoy stunning morning hikes right from the backyard and then unwind on the beach in the afternoon was perfect. Jacques is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

This was our second stay at Jacques' house which is truly special in the most incredible location. The house is completely private, surrounded by nature with sublime views of vineyards, mountains with the sea in the distance. It's a place to completely relax and recharge, and is very quiet. The very stylish house is designed for open plan outdoor/indoor living and works beautifully. There is everything you need for a comfortable, fantastic stay. Jacques is a warm and wonderful host - and always on hand for advice. We loved the peaceful location, but you are only 15 minutes from lovely St Florent with all its shops, cafes and restaurants. It really is a magical place, and we can't recommend enough. We'll be back again! Thank you Jacques!

Jacques’ place is very special - it felt like we had wandered into the set of a Condé Naste Traveller photo shoot. The location, the incredible view, the huge, beautiful and very sympathetically designed decking area really allow you to relax - a true holiday. The infinity pool is a great size - our teenage sons loved it. The pretty town of Saint Florent is very close, as is the beautiful coast of the Desert des Agriates and a good shop is very nearby. Jacques is very prompt and helpful with any questions.

The position of this beautiful, unpretentious, essencial place is second to none. The last property on the track, it feels secluded and private, yet the views to the back are nothing short of epic. We appreciate the environmental reasons for not offering AC, but in august it meant we lost sleep every night with even the powerful fans failing to keep the temperature at a reasonable level. Would be good if the owners fixed a few things (some of the doors didn’t lock on the bedrooms with outside access which added some anxiety when our kids were sleeping there) and a kitchen drawer that never wanted to close! It was pretty close to prefect so I don’t want my critique to outweigh the positives, it just felt that a few corrections would really make it really shine.

Our family had the best time here! Jacques is amazing and we so appreciate him sharing this special place with us.

We were a group of 7 adults and the villa was just perfect for us. The living space was spectacular, with no divide between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Many an evening was spent around the dining table (or on top of it, when the Osteopath paid a visit!). The design of the space is perfect for a group, with the bedrooms independent of each other to give privacy when desired. Plenty of spaces to relax and read, sunbathe or take a nap. The whole place overwhelmed with the intoxicating scent of rosemary and lavender. The location is great with several good restaurants within 15 minute walk and just a short drive to charming Saint Florent. A week wasn't long enough for us - I would return in a heartbeat!

This architectural masterpiece combines simplicity and great taste! The house is at a location that is nothing more than breath taking and from the 1st moment you arrive you feel totally disconnected, spoiled throughout the day and the night with a magnificent view. Apart from the master bedrooms, all other rooms (in an annex opposite to the pool) may be a bit small but well equipped with small bathrooms. The pools is superb because of its simplicity and... its length. Last but not least, you get from time to time entertained by Leo, the cat in the house. Such a lovely place we didn't want to leave!!
