Sea for Days

This awesome architect designed villa boasts a blissful combination of inimitable indulgences – including a balcony, multi-layered gardenscape, outdoor swimming pool and an alfresco lounging, barbecuing and dining terrace – all with sublime sea views. Such mesmerising Mediterranean scenes can also be appreciated from the open plan kitchen cum dining cum living room as well as from the master bedroom, while the additional bedrooms offer access to the garden. While gazing out to sea you’ll love lazing on the outdoor sofa, taking the plunge in your private pool, feasting alfresco on barbecued delights and sneaking off for a sundowner with your beloved on the balcony.

A sculptural spectacle in its own right featuring a carefully curated series of beautifully and individually decorated rooms, this cool, contemporary Corsican home will wow both the artsy and the outdoorsy. You’ll delight in the diversity that is wall paper meets marble tiles as well as the celebration of the cohesive use of contrasting and yet complementary colour combinations.

Your home’s unique location on the outskirts of the village of Erbalunga – remarkable for its 16th-century Genoese tower built on a rock at the entrance to the port – means you’ll not only be able to pop to the shops, but also sample the several restaurants dotted around its central square. What’s more, with the beach only a ten-minute drive away, the more adventurous among you will appreciate the opportunity to hike, dive and canoe.
