A beautiful property in a lovely area benefitting from stunning views. Incredibly peaceful with only the occasional sound of church bells to break the silence.Amenities in the property were really excellent.Danielle was a superb host, very friendly and helpful and super responsive whenever I had any questions. Loved this place and would thoroughly recommend.
Perfect place to get away and enjoy what Corsica has to offer. Lovely pool, beautiful views out to sea and into the mountains. Perfect location for hiking, beach trips, doing nothing, or exploring the nearby towns and villages. You will need to drive at least 20 minutes to get to restaurants and supermarkets but there are a few towns nearby with lots of great food available. Our host Danielle was extremely friendly and very accommodating and helped us with finding the places we need to.
This were spectacular holidays for us, the kindness of Danielle, the wonderful house, the lovely village, the mountains and the hole surrounding were wonderful. Thanks a lot Danielle, we will return!

Dear Meinhard,
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Casa Fontanaccia door will always be opened for you and your lovely family.
Danielle
Get away from it all in this lovely accomodation set on a hillside with amazing views. Dining on the terrace above the pool with the sun setting in the distance is amazing. The host is very friendly and helpful and makes you feel very welcome with homemade treats. A car is essential as there are no shops near.
Danielle is lovely, very helpful and efficient. The house is great, village quiet and views fantastic. There are nice walks from the doorstep and a bakery next door. In short it delivered everything we wanted.

Dear Jayne and David, met you and Charlie was a great joy. Many thanks for your trust and your kindness. Be sure, receive you again would be wonderful.
We had a very pleasant stay at Urtaca, the house is beautiful, very well equipped and with attractive furnitures. We enjoyed the pool and the garden much. The view from the terrace over the hills to the sea is fantastic. It took us only about 10 Minute to the next sandy beach. Danielle is a fabulous host, she took care for an unforgettable stay. Thanks a lot, Danielle!

Dear Sven,
It was a huge pleasure to welcome you in Casa Fontanaccia. Thanks a lot for choosing my house for your holidays.
Danielle
We spent 10 days as a family (2 adults and 3 teens) exploring Corsica for the first time and couldn't have wished for a better location, house and host.
Danielle is very friendly and was making us feel really welcome all the way through our stay (including making a cake for our oldest son's birthday - definitely beyond the line of duty).
The house is beautiful and stately with a fantastic pool; and in a great location with a view of both sea and mountains - a good base to explore the north part of the island (you can hike straight from the village, or get to lots of other locations within 30-50min, including Corte, the Agriate Desert, Calvi, Isle de Rousse and much more.)
The kids rated it as the best holiday house they stayed in - not sure what else to add :), would definitely go back!

Dear Gerhard,
thank you very much, it's a great joy to see how much you enjoyed our little paradise and Corsican hospitality.
Rest assured you always be welcome.
Kindest wishes.
Danielle
The house is located in idyllic urtaca between plants, beautiful stone houses, frindly people and corsican dogs. Danielle picked us up for the last meters of the drive (narrow streets make navigation the first time not super easy). She showed us the house ans handeln over the Keys. The house and the viel was as beautiful as the pictures promised. Big kitchen well equipped, beautiful Terrasse for outside eating...amazing heared Pool. Linsen, towels, hairdryer all provided. Danielle Was an amazi g host who andwered question, welcomed us. All in all 12 out of 10 points for this house and its owner. Who likes to be in a non touristic spot and doesn't mind the drive through narrow streets will love this
Wonderful villa, gorgeous views, charming village, very friendly hostess
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation in Urtaca, hosted by Danielle, who is the nicest hostess we have had many years of VRBO travel. She really made us feel at home in her little village and was always ready to help (living close by) and share her knowledge of the area and culture. She welcomed us with award winning, delicious local honey and breads, and we enjoyed meeting her dogs. The town of Urtaca is very charming, perched in the hills and off the tourist track. We went hiking directly from the house. The pool is very clean and refreshing. The views are spectacular from every room. We enjoyed swimming at the nearby beaches and hiking along the sea cliffs and drove to many beautiful villages along the north coast. The location is very private with no visible neighbors, and yet is a short drive to stores and various attractions. We feel it is our Coriscan home away from home and hope to return soon. We are still enjoying our jars of Urtacan honey.

Danielle
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in diesem außergewöhnlichen Haus. Wir haben uns selten so wohl gefühlt. Danielle ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin, die uns von der Buchung über die Anreise bis zu unserem Aufenthalt selbst sehr unterstützte. Wir waren sehr überrascht von den kulinarischen Begrüßungsgeschenken. Auch ihre Tipps zur Wanderung nach Lama und zum Strand Ostricani waren wirklich hilfreich. Unsere Tochter liebte die Besuche von Hund und Katze und wir Erwachsenen die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit von Urtaca. Das Meer ist in 12 Minuten erreichbar, so dass wir fast jeden Tag zumindest kurze Ausflüge in die Umgebung machen konnten. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Notre hôte Danielle est d'une attention permanente et d'une grande gentillesse. L'emplacement de la maison est extraordinaire avec une vue sur les montagnes et la mer à couper le souffle. Le rituel du coucher de soleil est immanquable chaque soir. Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux avec nos enfants.
Hyggelig og veludstyret feriebolig beliggende med spektakulær udsigt over bjergene og med Middelhavet i horisonten. Huset ligger i en super hyggelig og rolig lille by. Meget fin velkomst og kommunikation med værtinden Danielle som stod til rådighed under hele opholdet. Hun var særdeles hjælpsom og taler rigtig fint engelsk hvilket var en stor hjælp da vi ikke taler fransk. I byen ligger der en rigtig god og venlig slagter der kan anbefales. Øvrige indkøbsmuligheder ligger i køreafstand. Huset og poolen levede bestemt op til forventningerne. Et sted der varmt kan anbefales.

Dear Anne,
thank you very much, I am very glad you and your family enjoyed your stay in our little village. It's always a great pleasure to be present for my hosts.

Nach einer wegen Unwetter verzögerten Anreise, hat uns Danielle zu einer aussergewöhnlichen Zeit persönlich empfangen. Die bereitgestellten Brote und sonstigen Leckereien waren einfach nur top und super nett. Wir konnten unseren Aufenthalt geniessen. Die Stunden am Pool, in den Bergen und am Meer werden uns in guter Erinnerung bleiben. Wir können das Haus und die Gastgeberin nur empfehlen.

Dear Peter,
Thank you for your review, it was a great pleasure to welcome you home. I am very happy you enjoyed your stay in my house.
Meine Frau und ich hatten wundervolle 13 Tage in dem herrlichen Haus von Danielle.Danielle ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, man fühlt sich herzlich aufgenommen und umsorgt. Besser geht eigentlich nicht! Zum Haus und der Lage haben Vormieter eigentlich schon alles gesagt, wir können es nur aktuell bestätigen.Man muss die ländliche Lage natürlich mögen, sonst ist man hier fehl am Platz.Es ist wirklich a l l e s da, was man vielleicht benötigt.Also eine absolute Weiterempfehlung an Interessierte.
Trotz verregnetem Start hatten wir eine wundervolle Woche in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Keine Wünsche blieben offen, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin! Pure Erholung der Blick von der Terrasse! Super Ausstattung , einfach alles perfekt!
Magnifique semaine de détente et de calme dans un décor de rêve.La maison de Danielle correspond en tout point à la description et l’accueil de Danielle et de son fils fut exceptionnel,à la hauteur de la maj
Das Haus und die Aussicht sind ein Traum. Wer es ruhig mag, ist hier genau richtig. Nächster Strand ist in ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Zum nächsten Supermarkt sind es ca. 20 Minuten Fahrt. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und es gab sogar lokale Leckereien als Begrüßungsgeschenk. Danielle ist sehr bemüht um ihre Gäste. Von uns gibt es eine 100% Empfehlung und ein herzliches Dankeschön für alles!!!
Nous avons passé un excellent sejour chez Danielle qui nous a tres bien acceuilli dans sa maison. La maison est tres fonctionnelle et tres bien situee avec une vue magnifique depuis la terrasse et la piscine. A recommander vivement.
La maison est en tous points conforme à l'annonce, Nous étions 2 couples donc bien évidemment beaucoup d'espace puisque la propriété dispose de 4 belles chambres. La piscine est grande, un bel aménagement autour, nous en avons plus que profité. Du calme, une vue exceptionnelle, un village corse typique où nous avons été très bien accueillis, tout a été réuni pour des vacances parfaites. Danielle est tout simplement charmante et pleine d'attention. En résumé, 5 étoiles largement justifiées.
Un séjour remarquable. Danielle est une personne bienveillante et très accueillante.
La maison et le village sont très agréables et calmes.
Nous recommandons fortement cette location.
Merci à Danielle pour sa gentillesse et son accueil
Wir hatten eine herrliche Woche bei Danielle in Urtaca. Das Haus mit seiner Aussicht, die unglaublich schöne Natur und nicht zuletzt die tolle Gastgeberin haben es perfekt gemacht! Die Anfahrt ist nach dem ersten Mal unkompliziert (war bei uns im Dunkeln) und es lassen sich unzählige Ausflüge in der nahen Umgebung unternehmen (egal ob Berge oder Meer).
Das Haus würden wir direkt wieder buchen, es gibt absolut nichts zu bemängeln und für eine 5-köpfige Familie mehr als großzügig. Es gab in unserem Fall eine Kinder- und eine Elternetage mit jeweils ausreichend Bädern. Und der gut gepflegte Pool runden das Ganze ab.
Wer Korsika in seiner Ursprünglichkeit erleben will, ist hier genau richtig. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wieder kommen - ins Paradies :-)
