Villa Dona Lisa, piscine privée chauffée, à 5 minutes de la mer

We stayed at the property for 5 days and everything about it was perfect. The pool,barbecue,sitting areas,kitchen bedrooms etc. Initially a little hard to find but when we arrived the host was gracious and very helpful. Having a pass to the parking area at Santa Giulia was good value and the beach marvellous. Lunched at Moby Dick on extreme southern end and was excellent. Highly recommend

Nous avons passé 3 semaines au sein de cette superbe villa avec piscine. Villa très confortable et jardin bien arboré. Très bonne situation géographique à 10 min des plages de Palombaggia et Santa Giulia et à 5 min du premier supermarché bien achalandé. La ville de Porto Vecchio se situe à 15 min maxi. Merci à Christian de nous avoir si bien accueilli au sein de sa superbe villa.

Wir haben unsere 20 Tage auf Korsika in dieser schönen Villa sehr genossen. Das Haus ist luxuriös eingerichtet, sehr gemütlich, mit bequemen Doppelbetten (die Einzelbetten sind etwas hart). Zwei schöne Badezimmer, eine tolle, gut ausgestattete Küche. Klimaanlage funktioniert perfekt. Der Aussenbereich ist wunderschön, der Pool genial! Schöne Aussicht auf Vegetation und Hügel. Strand von Santa Giulia (mit gutem Restaurant) mit Auto schnell erreichbar (5 min). Es hat einen Spar in der Nähe mit sehr guter Fleisch- und Fischtheke. Mit dem Auto (ohne geht nichts) ist alles was man braucht gut erreichbar (Apotheke, Bäckerei, Supermärkte in Porto Vecchio). Die Lage ist ideal. Die Nachbarn sind nah, aber durch die Vegetation abgeschirmt und man fühlt sich nicht eingeengt. Im Gegenteil, man fühlt sich als Teil des kleinen Dorfs. Nur nachts ist es etwas laut (bei offenen Fenstern), da in der Nähe in den frühen Morgenstunden sehr laute Musik läuft (vom Vergnügungspark?). Die Landstrasse ist auch in Hördistanz. Christian, der Vermieter, ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und gibt gute Tipps für Restaurants und Strände, Er ist immer erreichbar (per SMS) und hilft, wenn man Hilfe braucht. Er wohnt nebenan. Sehr empfehlenswertes Ferienhaus.

This villa easily accommodated our small party of two adults and two children, when we return we will definitely ask the grandparents along! The property is spacious throughout, with high quality fixtures and furnishings. Indeed as well as the great feeling of space inside, the other noticeable thing was how much care had been put into the interior design. Christian (the owner) has clearly put a huge amount of time, effort and money to create something special here. The outside of the villa reflected much the same as inside, plenty of space and seating for everyone. We loved the area further to the back back with the weber gas barbecue and small sofas, it was the perfect place to enjoy the last of the day's sun with a glass of wine. The heated pool is secured by access through a gate and has an alarm that detects if someone falls in (you de-activate it before swimming), which was fabtastic for us with small children. The villa is situated close to what are considered some of the best beaches in France. However depending on which beach you go to parking can be tricky so I suggest planning ahead. That being said, we never had an issue if we arrived by late morning. Finally a quick word about Christian. His family have deep roots in Corsica and he knows the area as only a local can. He provided us with great advice about beaches, restaurants, where to visit etc. He is also an extremely kind person, was really good with the kids and made us feel genuinely welcome. Thank you Christian, and we hope to see you again next year!

We have visited Corsica over 7 times. We found this villa two years ago and returned this summer. It was a great trip. The villa is very well maintained, kitchen has everything you could ever need, very high specification and fab pool. The location is really lovely in a small village, in very easy reach of all the fabulous beaches in this part of Corsica. Supermarkets nearby but also very high quality smaller shops with great food. Eating out is easy with lots of local restaurants. Also easy to get up to the mountains for a day walking and swimming in rock pools. Christian is a super host, communicates via email for booking and is around if you need him at any time but leaves you to get on with your holiday.

Our family of five (three boys 14 to 17) are privileged to have just enjoyed our second summer holiday at Villa Dona Lisa. It is a very special place located in a traditional, quiet Corsican village, about 10 minutes south of Porto Vecchio by car. It is the only place we have ever felt compelled to revisit, so wonderful is the villa and the local area, with its contrasting attractions of world renowned beaches, lightly forested mountains (good for walks) and many excellent restaurants, all close at hand. Porto Vecchio is great to walk around with some stylish shops, a port area where our boys enjoyed looking at the yachts close-up and a bustling night life focussed on the many small restaurants and bars in the narrow, pedestrianised streets of the traditional Corsican town centre. The villa is very private and tranquil making it easy to relax in, with high quality fittings and furnishings and seemingly every amenity provided from coffee machine to complementary snorkelling equipment and free parking pass to the nearby Santa Giulia beach. The secluded pool area is delightful, being ingeniously landscaped into the hillside and well shielded by mature plants. There are also great views of the surrounding countryside, all of which creates an atmosphere of quiet luxury, which makes the villa not just a place to stay but a real pleasure to spend time at in its own right. Christian is an excellent and gracious host with a strong sense of traditional Corsican hospitality. From the point of arrival, where little welcoming touches delight, he is discretely available to ensure that all goes well with your stay and personally cleans the pool most mornings. The start of our first stay in August 2016 provides an exceptional example of his kindness. Due to a mix up with the hire car, my wife and boys arrived at Porto Vecchio by bus from Bastia late the first evening to find that no taxis to the villa were available as planned because a festival was underway and roads were shut. Christian came out to meet them in his own car, took them up to the villa and provided something to eat. In summary - fond memories of croissants and pastries from the fine patisserie in Porto Vecchio; relaxing days ‘chilling’ around the pool; simple evening meals of great local cold meats and cheeses on the patio; fine dining at excellent restaurants with stunning views over the bay and idle mornings at lovely beaches with leisurely swims in the warm, clear Mediterranean - Perfect!

We stayed at this property in June and I can only recommend it highly! It is a wonderful house in a quite neighbourhood close to Porto Vecchio and the owner Chris makes you feel at home right away! The living quarters are modern with all the amenities ,the sleeping quarters are clean and nice and the children can stay upstairs!!! The pool is the right size and it is very private and secluded.It is only minutes to the best beaches on Corsica and to Porto Vecchio shopping.Chris is a wonderful patron and he cared for all our needs in a professional and very friendly way ,he made our vacation very special. We would certainly return! Merci bien Chris, bien fait!!
