5 Bedroom Villa Rental with Large Pool in Ajaccio, South Corsica - Alba Marina

The setting cannot be bettered – the villa, built in the 1980s, is perched on the hillside, with a small beach a minute’s stroll and cosmopolitan Ajaccio within easy reach. 

Fancy visiting Corsica with some friends? The villa is perfect for friends to stay but enjoy privacy if they choose, as it is spacious, and has 4 double bedrooms.  There are numerous activities to pursue, so if you want to follow different activities during the day, but get together in the evening, the location is perfect for this.

The property is situated on the Route des Sanguinaires which separates the coast from the mountains. 8.4km away is the capital Ajaccio, Napoleon’s birthplace with lovely restaurants, shopping and markets – drive in 15 minutes, catch a bus from outside the villa or head out on foot for the day. Being so close to pretty Ajaccio, explore the hiking trails and wild swimming spots

Informal and fun, it’s a place for family and friends. Inside, spacious proportions and vast windows let the light pour in; find a hamper of Corsican delicacies in the sleek kitchen and roomy bedrooms dotted about with their own private terraces or living spaces. Outside, relax, dine and entertain among the palms and olives on the shady terrace and barbeque area.

For sporty days join the GR20 route or head to La Cascade des Anglais and Bocognano (50km) for forest trails and canoeing. Perhaps, nip to the beach for a morning swim, go kayaking, paddle boarding and relax by the pool on typically sunny days (it can be fenced off for small children). Go hiking around La Cascade des Anglais (55km) and plunge in the natural pools; culture seekers can soak up the history of Ajaccio’s cobbled streets.
Gather for dinner in the old town and muse on what fun tomorrow will bring. 

​The villa is set on 4 levels.
On the garden level are two single bedrooms and a double bedroom, but guests occupying the double bedroom need to go through the single bedrooms to get to the bathroom. There are 4 bathrooms and 5 WC's in the property.
