Overview
Overlooking a picturesque bay near Porto-Vecchio on Corsica’s east coast, Villa De La Vue Moderne is a design-forward abode boasting astonishing outdoor hang-out areas alongside modern comforts and dazzling ocean scenery. Just a stone’s throw away from the island’s golden shores, it’s a hangout spot for eating, drinking, lounging and partying with a backdrop of killer cliff top views.
The interior brings the outside in, with two gardens set in the middle of a fully air-conditioned living room that looks out to the tree-carpeted hills and valley below. Bright and spacious with tiled floors to retain coolness, there’s plenty of space for large groups to linger over an aperitif – whether kicking back in one of the sitting areas or playing pool just around the corner. The bedrooms, spread across two floors exude minimalist-chic vibes with large beds and understated colour palette. But take a closer look at the suites upstairs and you’ll find that both have sleek, en-suite bathrooms, sofas and private terrace access, while the master bedroom also boasts a walk-in wardrobe and jacuzzi bathtub with stunning views.
Fancy a sundowner in the pool? From the living space, step right onto the wooden deck where you can find a heated infinity-style swimming pool surrounded by terraces designed for forgetting the stress and strains of everyday life – the perfect place to sip a cocktail whilst you soak up the sunshine. There is even a roof terrace where you can watch the sun go down over the sea below and a jacuzzi that lights up with a kaleidoscope of colours at night. All your meals are to be cooked in the superbly equipped summer kitchen, boasting everything a budding chef might need to whip up a feast – be it a group barbecue party, healthy breakfasts or an intimate seafood dinner. Simply decide if you want to enjoy your meal outside straight from the plancha or in the dining room inside. For golf lovers, a putting green with a pitching green section is also installed outside.
This area is excellent for beach-combing wanderers and outdoor enthusiasts who wish to spend time enjoying the climate and nature. Close to the home there are hiking trails, forests and a wealth of pristine beaches can be found just a stone’s throw away. The closest is just a short walk away and there are plenty more to visit along the coastline from almost-forgotten coves to sandy beaches offering water sports and local amenities.
If you can tear yourself away from paradise, head into the centre of Porto-Vecchio to visit the wall of a a 16th-century Genoese citadel alias the backdrop to the old town, try locally caught fish and seafood in one of its many restaurants lining the town’s narrow streets and soak up the charming vibes. More pretty beaches await nearby, including the Palombaggia, its stretch of sand lined with pine trees, as well as the lagoon-like Santa Giulia.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa De La Vue ModerneVilla De La Vue Moderne is ideally nestled in a semi-rural setting surrounded by maquis and other holiday villas, super-close to Corsica’s south-eastern coastline. As with the rest of the island, this area is characterised by long sandy beaches and sleepy fishing villages, making this a brilliant place to stay with friends or family.
There are many reasons why people love flocking to this sunny Mediterranean island, and its abundance of sweeping beaches and untouched nature is undoubtedly one of them. If you don’t mind the walk, stroll to the shores of a nearby beach for a refreshing dip in the azure sea. There’s also a restaurant with dining tables spread out at the front in the sand, as well as sun beds for hire and plenty of shade underneath the trees. A bit further away by car, Saint Cyprien is a breath-taking bay with lots of space for unwinding on a sun lounger, clear and shallow water for taking a swim as well as seasonal water sports on offer. Here you can spend the day snorkelling around the rocks and cliffs steeped deep in the water.
A supermarket can be found in the neighbouring area, just over a 5-minute drive away, if you feel the need to stock up on groceries, drinks and other essentials.
Less than a 30-minute drive away from the property, you can reach Porto Vecchio – a port town with a large, thriving harbour and all the shops and eateries you could need. This charming town was initially a Roman town which was later settled by the Genoese – a past that has reflected on Porto Vecchio’s old town, lined with mostly medieval buildings and dominated by a 16th-century Genoese citadel which offers breath-taking views of the marina below. Many of the town’s narrow lanes winding up to the hilltop fortress are lined with shops and boutiques great for buying souvenirs. In the newer part of town, you can spend the afternoon pottering around the artisan shops and picking up fresh produce at the markets before dining at one of the ambient restaurants.
A bit further away on the southern tip of the island, Bonifacio is known for its lively marina and plenty of historic monuments such as its mediaeval clifftop citadel. In addition, the 13th-century Bastion de l’Etendard houses a small museum with exhibits on the town’s history. If you fancy a scenic walk, discover the path of L’Escalier du Roi d’Aragon – a steep, narrow rock staircase made from 187 ancient steps carved into a cliff face leading down to the sea, offering unique ocean views and a chance for one-of-a-king holiday photos. Alternatively, hop on a boat to discover the uninhabited Lavezzi Islands, a nature reserve, which have granite boulders and uninterrupted sandy beaches offering a tranquil atmosphere.

Region
From the family-friendly beaches of Porto Vecchio to the dramatic mountain peaks of the Col de Bavella, the southern region of the Mediterranean’s fourth largest island offers you the diverse landscapes, historic towns and iconic coastline that Corsica is so famous for.
Starting in the south-eastern corner of the island, the coastline is truly impressive with turquoise coloured water and soft sand often backed by beachside restaurants and shady trees. Embrace the scent of salt air and pines at Plage de Pinarellu with its crystal-clear sea or spend the day at Plage de Saint Cyprien famed for its gently-shelving shores and summer watersports. On the other side of Porto Vecchio bay are the two famous beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia – head out early to avoid the many visitors who flock to these photogenic beaches in the height of the summer. Further south, Plage de Rondinara is yet another idyllic bay with shallow clear water and fine white sand.
Experience the glamour of Porto Vecchio, once a historic harbour and citadel, now a vibrant town increasingly loved by jet-setters who appreciate its character and natural beauty. It’s a joy to potter around Porto Vecchio’s old town in the evening with boutiques, bars and a range of restaurants for every taste (seafood, pizzas, salads as well as more traditional Corsican dishes).
The jewel of southern Corsica is arguably the exquisite town of Bonifacio with its historic citadel perched above dramatic limestone cliffs and the most incredible vistas of the sea. The citadel’s warren of medieval lanes will enchant you and there is a wealth of restaurants to choose from showcasing some of Corsica’s delicious cuisine – imagine lamb and rosemary, wild boar casserole with chestnuts, cannelloni au brocciu and Mediterranean seafood. Boats from the marina whisk you away to the Lavezzi Islands for more serene beauty. Meanwhile, keen golfers will already be familiar with the prestigious Golf de Spérone in a spectacular setting with views towards Sardinia.
Heading towards the south-west of the island, pass the wilder shores of the Figari coastline (Plage de la Tonnara is a favourite) and venture through the mountainous landscapes of forest, vineyards and olive groves towards the mountain village of Sartène with its charming squares, restaurant terraces and wonderful market on a Saturday morning. Don’t miss pristine bays along the Valinco Gulf such as Campomoro and Porto Pollo as well as the pre-historic menhirs of Filitosa, before eventually arriving into the handsome city of Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The rugged interiors of southern Corsica are also not to missed from the pine and beech forests of the Forêt de l'Ospédale near Porto Vecchio to the mountain village of Zonza and the incredible Col de Bavella peaks. Discover walking trails, hiking routes, rock-climbing, canyoning and other adventures amidst the awe-inspiring scenery of Corse-du-Sud.
Whether you choose a rural bergerie near Porto Vecchio, a more contemporary abode overlooking the sea or a beautiful getaway with mountain views, Oliver’s Travels is proud to offer a range of hand-picked villas in southern Corsica.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesJust a short walk from the villa, you can find a lovely sandy beach, fantastic for snorkelling, swimming and building sandcastles. There’s also restaurant to hide from the lunchtime heat and a viewing point offering picturesque views.
A bit further away, children will love trying different water sports such as canoes, paddle boards and kayaks, while adults can ride the waves on a jet-ski or hop on a boat to cruise around the island, making stops in untouched lagoons.
On the southern tip of the island, discover a long-stretching beach with powder-soft sand, great for families with children thanks to the abundance of amenities, water sports and boat rentals.
In addition, the small villages dotted along the coast are full of ice cream shops, old-school cafés and sunny terraced restaurants, while hiking and walking trails are to be found almost everywhere if you’re up for a wholesome stroll through the rugged landscape.
