Great Villa and perfect location

The 6 of us stayed for 2 weeks (and glad we did so) in the villa. Each bedroom has space and storage, and an attached bathroom, very much like newer houses in the US. The living room/dinning room area is very spacious and comfortable; and the kitchen is well equipped. Also of note for long stays: a washing machine in the garage, very useful. The added points of the Villa: a nice out door/back yard, dinning/relaxing area (I really enjoyed taking my coffee in the morning sitting and watching the sea and the mountains) and the lower level with the pool and the cabana. Location, location, location: so convenient. One can go to one of the 2 beaches just walking; or grocery shopping the same way. Also very close to some front beach restaurants/ice cream parlors. It is also well located if you want to explore the island: we drove to Calvi, Ajaccio, Bonifaccio, Bastelica , Filitosa, etc. A lot to do and see. Jane, the owner, was very responsive and helpful, and ensured our stay was as we planned it. We will certainly consider going back for another summer vacation.

Excellent villa with wonderful view!

This villa was ideal for our three-generation party of eight, including two children aged six and nine. We were immediately impressed by the size of the house and gardens and by the view of Ajaccio bay, Porticcio beach and the surrounding mountains, which is spectacular both at day and night. Although all is clearly described in Jane’s notes, the villa and furnishing was even better than we expected. We appreciated the security of being in a gated community of similar properties. The main living room is huge with a large dining table and two comfortable seating areas, glazed doors along its length leading onto the very large boarded deck outside where we had our evening meals. The adjacent kitchen is extremely well equipped and we appreciated being able to use certain items stored in the adjoining garage, including bicycles and beach equipment. There are several locations around the garden with seating, including two elegant gazebos, one at the villa level and one by the pool. There is comfortable seating in these and elsewhere in the garden including plenty of loungers. Indoor games and DVDs were well received, particularly by the children, and it was a real bonus that they could also watch them in their bedroom. Although we were there for the first two weeks of August in hot weather, the interior of the villa stayed cool and we hardly used the air conditioning. All the living and sleeping areas have ceiling fans as well as air conditioning. The resort was busy and when on the terrace there was some noise from the beach area on festival evenings - as well as an excellent view of the firework display - but noise was not intrusive when inside the villa. The small, sandy beach about 5 minutes walk away is fine for confident swimmers and rocky in parts, suitable for snorkelling. The main Porticcio beach, about 10 minutes walk from the villa, is well equipped with watersports, a designated swimming area, and at one end a row of sheltered open-air restaurants. The large supermarket and other shops are close to the main beach, so there is really no need for a car, but car hire is available in the town and was used by four of our party for a day out to Bonifacio. We had an excellent family holiday here. The villa had everything we needed. The layout and interior design has been brilliantly thought out by Jane and her communication with us was clear and welcoming. We recommend the villa without reservation!

Très belle villa , magnifique vue et jardin et piscine. 4 belles chambres et salon spacieux. Propriétaire et gérante communicatives. Cuisine bien équipée même trop ce qui laisse peu de place pour ranger ses courses congel et placard. Par contre transat piscine cassé, table ping pong inutilisable, beaucoup d equipement exterieur mais qui commencent à fatiguer, menage léger beaucoup de poussiere et papier friandises. Peut etre une verification des équipements plus régulièrement ainsi que la clim. Malgre cela tres bonne adresse

Komfortable Ferienvilla mit persönlichem Flair für die große Familie

Sehr schönes Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten wie Klimatisierung, großer, gut ausgestatteter Küche, schönen Bädern, mehreren schöne Terrassen und einem schönen Pool, das Ganze in guter Lage zum Meer und mit tollem Blick über die Bucht von Ajaccio und auf die Berge Korsikas. Die Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin war sehr angenehm und hilfreich. Angenehm auch die persönliche Note im Haus durch die geschmackvolle Ausstattung und die vielen persönlichen Gegenstände (Bücher, Spielsachen, DVDs, Sportutensilien, Fahrräder etc.), die großenteils genutzt werden konnten. Positiv ist die Nähe zum Meer mit mehreren Stränden zur Auswahl und zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und zu Sporteinrichtungen (Tauschschule, Bootsverleih etc.). Einzige Einschränkung: Das Lage des Hauses ist nicht ruhig. Weniger die nahe Hauptdurchgangsstrasse war störend, sondern vor allem die laute Discomusic jede Nacht bis morgens um vier, wodurch man nur mit geschlossenen Fenstern schlafen konnte. Trotzdem, alles in allem ein sehr schönes Feriendomizil, welches wir sehr genossen haben.

Great Location and well equipped villa

This is the best equipped of the 9 villa properties we have rented in Europe since 2010. It has 4 excellent bathrooms, good a/c and is more than spacious internally. The pool area is excellent with good ares of shade and the property is most convenient for Ajaccio airport and Porticcio with a nearby supermarket, many restaurants and an excellent butcher , baker and fishmonger amongst other shops. In particular we found the Alto Vista an excellent restaurant, Le Club great for coffee and bread and the "posh" butcher excellent if expensive. The fishmonger next to Carrefour is also excellent but v expensive. We felt the property externally needs quite a bit of love and attention to bring it to the same standard as the interior with a wild garden that is rather too wild and attention needed to get the terrace etc into a tidy state but these are relatively small points and could be swiftly remedied if the owner chose to invest in some garden assistance. We also felt the cleaning regime was not clear and we certainly saw little if any of the property manager in the 2 weeks and we had to ask for sheets to be changed at the end of 1 week despite only one of the bedrooms being occupied for the first week!! We felt that a clear written statement of what the cleaner does and does not do in the 2 weeks would have been helpful. Overall this is a very well appointed villa in a very good location with excellent beaches nearby and with a very straightforward connection to the airport; happy to recommend it and with some small attention to detail we felt the property could become an excellent choice...

Lovely spacious family home with great views

We had a lovely stay in Porticcio at Jane's fantastic house. It is very spacious and easily accommodated 8 of us (2 families, each with 2 young children aged 5, 6, 7 and 7). The house feels like a real home rather than a rental property which made it far more appealing than most places. The rooms are nicely kitted out with very comfy beds and en-suite bathrooms (except one room which has a bathroom next door), and the air conditioning is very effective which was a godsend for the nights! The bathrooms are all nicely done and feel clean, whilst the kitchen has everything you need and plenty of the condiments and basics that annoying to have to buy at other rental properties. Outside, the pool area is brilliant - the pool is a nice temperature for the kids to enjoy (maybe slightly warm for the dads but the kids and mums all thought it was perfect!) and the area around the pool provided plenty of space for some cricket (although the garden also provides ample scope for lost balls...!) as well as plenty of shaded areas for lounging. Jane (the owner) is exceptionally responsive and provided all the information that we needed in advance, as well as responding to queries whilst we there. The pool cleaning system broke on one day and she immediately got the repair men out to fix it which was greatly appreciated. Porticcio is great - easy walk down to the beach and the shops (5-10 mins at kids pace) where there are various restaurants and supermarkets (Carrefour is the obvious choice, but there is also a very expensive butchers and fishmonger if you want to splash out - for meat, it is actually better to go to the Spar which is further out of Porticcio as they have a proper butcher on site (compared to Carrefour which wasnt great for meat) selling meat at better prices). Porticcio also has a GP surgery that you can walk into without appointments (also 5 min walk from house) as we unfortunately had to use! There are so many beaches to visit - our favourites were Ruppione and Plage d'Argent. Both have excellent restaurants on the beach for lunch. There are also lots of beach toys in the garage that we were able to borrow so no need to pack buckets and spades in your luggage! All in all, a great place for a holiday that we would heartily recommend and which we hope to return to at some point.

Gorgeous Villa near lovely seaside village in Corsica

My family of 7 just spent a wonderful week in this villa in Porticcio. Communication with the property owner Jane was welcoming, friendly and informative from the time of booking to the end of our holiday. There are so many highlights of this property ! The bedrooms were lovely with comfy beds, ceiling fans and air con, and each with an en suite or own bathroom Outside we spent many hours chatting at the table whilst staring at the view of the garden, sea and mountains beyond, or lounging by the beautiful pool. There are plenty of spaces to relax and chill . The kitchen was very well equipped when we felt like cooking, or it was an easy 5-10 minute walk into the village to one of the many seaside restaurants . Ajaccio is 20 minute ferry ride away. All in all a perfect holiday in a fabulous villa, one which I’m very happy to recommend

Perfection in Porticcio

Fabulous villa, spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything you could want. The pool is excellent, clean and heated, the outside spaces offer a choice of seating and dining areas. Jane the owner is a pleasure to communicate with, as it is her own island home, and she goes to great lengths to ensure your stay is the best it could be. The town and main beach are within 5 minutes' walk, as is the main Carrefour supermarket. A car isn't essential, but I would recommend one in order to explore other nearby beaches. We particularly enjoyed plage Ruppione, which had a few waves enough for playing in or gentle surfing. The boat navette to Ajaccio is a must, on which you may see dolphins, it's the easy way to visit the town.

Great, well equipped house with beautiful view, perfect for two families. Lovely pool.

We were 4 adults and 4 children, aged 9-12 and have really enjoyed a week in this lovely villa with ample space both indoor and outdoor. The house is within walking distance from shops, a beach and restaurants which is very convenient. However, most days we drove 15-20 minutes to find better beaches ( not difficult!). We enjoyed dinner out in Porticcio a couple of nights and also enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen ( and barbecue).The owner is very helpful and service minded and for us who do not speak French it was very convenient with a British owner. The house was clean and nice, but the outdoor area could perhaps have benefitted from a bit more attention. A couple of nights there was quite load music and laser shows from local night clubs, which may disturb some people, but we were OK with it and it never disturbed any sleep. All in all, very happy with the stay!

Spacious, well equipped and high quality villa

This was a lovely property maintained and equipped to a very high standard and in an excellent location, with beach, restaurants, bars and shops within very close proximity. The views from the outdoor dining area are absolutely stunning. We were 3 generations - grand parents, parents and 3 children (aged 7, 10 and 13) and everyone had a wonderful time. Majority of the holiday was spent relaxing and swimming in the lovely pool or in the sea although we did have a few excursions including a great day out in the woods doing "parcours" (tree rope climbing). As a keen cyclist I took my own bike and spent most mornings cycling for a couple of hours. As I found out Corsica is very mountainous - as soon as you turn inland the road goes upwards! Hence a good idea to get out early before it gets too hot (which it did very quickly). The local town Porticcio was lively and could get quite busy at times but never to the levels of the French riviera in August for example. The owner, Jane was extremely helpful and attentive both before and during the holiday especially when we had a small issue with the swimming pool - this was fixed very quickly. Overall I can highly recommend this villa if you are looking for a high quality, spacious place close to many amenities.

Om värden

jane shepherd är värd

I am a Hospital doctor working in London and living in Oxford. I have 2 teenage children and have spent many holidays in Corsica since 1981. The house was built for me to provide comfortable spacious accomodation for my family and friends. I believe holidays are important 'recharge' time and so everything needs to be organised. My ideal holiday is family based with everyone having enough space to relax in their way. I bought my first house in Porticcio as I was unable to find high quality accomodation to rent. I love cooking and eating! A well planned kitchen and stocked kitchen is essential. The local food is so fresh and tasty that we usually eat in enjoying the view over the bay till late. I also enjoy reading, old films and TV and jigsaw puzzles. So you will find books, DVDs and games.

Varför värden valde detta boende

I have visited all the island and chose Porticcio as it is on the outstandingly beautiful bay of Ajaccio and near the airport, which makes the journey so easy. There is a regular 3 times daily ferry service to Ajaccio town. Porticcio is a lively summer resort but also has a local community which prevents it being just about tourism. Outside high summer the restaurants serve the locals and the school children learn to sail on the bay. There are no high rise buildings or big hotels and no parking meters! There are many beautiful beaches within an easy drive. Walking and cycling are also popular. The house overlooks the bay and the twinkling lights at night-simply magical. All facilities are within a short stroll. The villa is your home from home. Check in and check out are flexible depending on your travel arrangements. A welcome food package is provided so when you arrive you can have coffee, tea, breakfast or lunch with wine as you wish. The area has been enjoyed by all age groups. The parents with small children enjoy the soft sand beaches, quite afternoon siestas for the little ones and long lazy suppers after bedtime, teens can stroll to the beach and enjoy the large array of water sports, and grown ups of all ages can do their own thing with great food, wine and scenery.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The villa is new and has a large garden with a beautiful heated outdoor pool. The pool in the summer is usually 28ºC at a minimum. It has been well designed and built to modern standards with double glazing and shutters to keep cool in summer and warm in winter. The living and bedroom areas have both air conditioning and ceiling fans. Everything is within an easy walk which is great as no-one has to be the driver after a long beach side evening meal.
Please note that I do not agree rentals until we have has direct communication, so expect a phone call.
