Location:
Villa Verdure is located in the beautiful South-East of Corsica; surrounded by woodland, mountain scenery and a sweeping coastline this is a fantastic place to stay for a holiday with family or friends.
Due to the serene, leafy surrounds, you are perfectly placed for getting close to nature whilst staying at this villa. There is a botanical garden, mountain hiking trails, oak and pine woodlands where you can enjoy a leisurely picnic and also dramatic coastal walks up to focal points such as the Punta di Pilatogu. Whether you like walking, cycling or even paragliding you will find something you enjoy doing in this diverse landscape.
As well as having a unique inland terrain, Corsica is well-known for its incredible beaches which is the main attraction for many visitors. The nearby coastline has a wide range of beaches including tucked away coves, pebbled bays and sandy beaches. The closest beach to the villa is Villata beach which is a mere 2km away and backs on to a lake and wetlands.
A little further at 4km away is Pinarello Beach which is a truly stunning beach with turquoise water and fine powdery sand. The calm, clear water of the gulf is ideal for water sports such as kayaking, paddle boarding or pedalo hire and the beach also borders a lush pine forest which offers welcome shade in the afternoon. From the rocky outcrops close by you can try a spot of fishing or gaze out at the 16th-century Genoese tower which is located on its own island.
A little further along the coast from the beaches you will find the Marine village of Pinarello which is a lovely place for an evening meal with breath-taking sea views. Make sure to try one of the quaint seafood restaurants for a taste of authentic Corsican cuisine followed by a cocktail in one of the atmospheric bars. If you visit in the summer months you can even join in the festivities at the Pinarello Jazz festival which is great fun, with a programme packed with open-air musical performances.
When you need to stock up on groceries or pick up some fresh pastries for breakfast, you will find a few supermarkets dotted around between nearby villages, though the village of Sainte-Lucie has a good range of amenities and is just 7km away. The typical Corsican hillside village has a small supermarket, butchers, pharmacy, greengrocers, bakery and a number of restaurants.
For a wider selection of shops and eateries why not drive over to Porto-Vecchio which is 14km away by car. The town was once a Roman settlement which can still be seen in some of the architecture as you stroll around the pretty streets. There are also medieval attractions in town such as the original town gates, historic churches and the imposing defensive fortification which was constructed in the 1500s as the area was often invaded. Today you are much less likely to find invading armies as you explore the town; instead you can discover rows of artisan shops, a bustling market and plenty of welcoming cafes and restaurants. Porto-Vecchio also has some beautiful beaches so make sure to pack your swimwear when visiting.
