A perfect first vacation in Corsica. Original house, well equipped with a magnificent view. Thank you.
D. – September 2019
Another great vacation at Casa Santa Maria. Special thanks to Eric for his great knowledge of the area and for helping us book restaurants and taxis. We will return !
J P. – September 2019
A comfortable and tranquil villa surrounded by stunning sea and mountain views. The courtyard garden is quiet and an ideal place to relax after a day of sightseeing. A week was not long enough to explore this area or Corsica!
Mrs. G. – July 2019
Our second visit to Corsica
We had a pleasant stay at Casa Santa Maria. We particularly enjoyed the olive festival, the craft trail and the panoramic train to Calvi. The rooftop/mountain top restaurant in Sant Antonino is a must, book a table and enjoy the sunset. The view from the villa, from the upper floors, is magnificent. Black kites and swallows were a huge bonus.
J., D., M. & O. – July 2019
An excellent location with easy access to mountains, hilltop villages and stunning beaches.
The A. family – June 2019
Our eighth visit to Balagne – the first to this villa. After eight visits we have been almost everywhere, but this year we have been very special: red kites on the upper balcony and swallows drinking in the swimming pool, eating at San Antone on the square and Escale on the Ile Rousse, watching the sunset over Algajola beach (our favorite spot), fantastic mountains, the intoxicating smell of the maquis in the heat – too much to tell.
P. & R. – June 2019
Our first trip to Corsica, a quiet village, friendly people, perfect views, excellent food and only two hours from Stansted! We love seeing the wildflowers – life seems to be so perfect here!
J. & M. – May 2019
In the village of Santa Reparata, you have the choice of three restaurants, five bars and a number of shops, including the "smallest grocery store in the world".
Follow your curiosity and wander into the remotest corners where time has eroded some of the old buildings and swifts weave and chatter above you. From here you can take the hiking trails that lead to Pigna or climb to the top of the hill of Sant'Antonino, which dates from the XNUMXth century. Both are on the Route des Artisans, with its arts and crafts workshops and range of local produce to sample and take home. For wine lovers, there are also two vineyards within eight miles of the villa, as well as the popular Wine Route, which passes through the fashionable Lumio, a picturesque village with nearby sandy beaches and impressive views of the Gulf of Calvi.
The nearest gourmet restaurant is in Salti in the Regino, about 20 minutes by car and next to a nine-hole golf course. In July you will also have the pleasure of taking part in Festivoce, Pigna's international music festival, which offers a full program of events, including concerts and performances in the streets, baroque churches, chapels and squares, the all within a 15 minute drive.
