Everything important a short drive away

In short: The house is right by the sea, with private access to the rocks. The sandy beach of the bay is 2 minutes by car, Sari-Solenzara about 15 minutes, Porto-Vecchio about 25 minutes. You will need a car to explore the area.

The bay of Canella lies at your feet from the terrace. The sandy beach cannot be reached on foot, but it is 2 minutes by car, around 10 minutes by SUP across the crystal-clear water or, for strong swimmers, around 20 minutes.

Mountains & lakes

Monte Renoso

In early summer, snowfields often linger here and the peaks are reflected in clear mountain lakes. A day trip to a completely different side of Corsica, wonderful for hiking.

Col de Bavella

The reddish rock needles of Bavella are among the most impressive landscapes in Corsica. Hiking trails lead through fragrant pine forests, and along the way clear natural pools in the river invite you to cool off.
