300m2 Villa, 5 Bedrooms, Heated Pool, Sea View, ranked 5 *

My husband and I spent our 2-week-holiday in this house in September. Located on a hill with few other houses next to it, it is the first house with the best view.

From the terrace we enjoyed unparalleled views of the town and the bay, up to Cap Corse with its impressive mountains. The terrace offers enough space for relaxation with its comfy sun loungers, hammock and the well-temperatured infinity-swimmingpool. It was great to have a swim in the morning, just after the sunrise and to watch the town awakening with the first fishermen going out to the sea.

On the terrace you enjoy almost full privacy. The house is generous in size and is tastefully equipped with all essentials and beyond. The surroundings of the house are peaceful, most of the time we don't noticed our neighbours, despite some gardening works on few days. There is only few traffic on the road in front of the house, some people drive to the hill by car and other climb it, to enjoy the magnificent views.

It was convenient to have the town so close by, a big supermarket is only 5 minutes drive away with a well-sorted organic section. Only 10 minutes drive to the main beach. Daily market in the town where farmer offer quality vegetables and delicacies is only a short drive away.

We followed the recommendation of the villa host and visited other beaches, 15-20 minutes drive, which are fantastic. My favorite is Lozari, because of the perfect scenery and less people.

As our passion is cooking, we were surprised and happy about the good kitchen equipment. We have often used the electric outdoor grill, which did a great job when it comes to grilled vegetables (and certainly everything else). The town and its surroundings have certainly some great restaurants which are worth a visit. A Siesta is a must-do.

The villa host is absolutely charming and we felt blessed to be his guests. All the booking process and the communication from the start till end was absolutely perfect. He made everything to make our stay a good one (including the choice of wine on arrival which met our taste) - and was just a message away if we had any concerns, which we appreciate very much. We think we should come back to L'Île-Rousse, maybe outside of the high season, to do some hiking. This September was a very hot month perfect for the beach. Thank you for everything and hopefully see you soon!
