Porticcio: PORTICCIO is situated in the Bay of Ajaccio and is across the bay from the island's largest town of Ajaccio - birth place of Napoleon Bonaparte. Porticcio is a seaside resort in natural surroundings with superb beaches and a wide variety of watersports. There is a ferry which provides regular services across the bay to Ajaccio and takes 20 minutes. Along the road to the south are small villages with plenty of fine beaches, some with restaurants and bars. Away from the coast the land rises steeply and roads twist and climb through the pine forests to villages perched above magnificent panoramas of the Mediterranean. There are some wonderful cycle tracks and hiking trails such as the 'Mare e Monte'. Along the coast to the north is the Gulf of Porto which is classed a a 'world heritage site' by UNESCO, to the south is Filitossa a renowned neolithic site, and inland are mountains rising to nearly 3000 meters. We keep masses of information in the villa to help you make the best of your stay.

PORTICCIO is approximately 25 minutes from the port and 20 minutes from the airport. All the major car rental firms operate in Ajaccio.

séjour compliqué

Beaucoup de choses à revoir. Déjà dès qu'il pleut il y a une fuite, et de l'eau coule du plafond dans 1 des chambres. Les draps et linges fournis sentent le renfermé. Douche du haut : très peu de pression et peu fonctionnelle. Aucun interrupteur à côté de la porte de la chambre dès qu'on rentre dans celle-ci ne fonctionnent. Difficulté pour se garer. Bref villa à éviter

Vue panoramique magnifique

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine à la villa Joséphine, la vue est magnifique de toutes les fenêtres de la maison, la maison est très belle, très bien équipée, les terrasses sont très agréables. On s'y sent vraiment bien et au calme. Il y a de multiples activités à faire tout autour, plage, balades, randonnées, sorties en mer... De quoi passer de très bonnes vacances

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Marie Catherine Hirst

We are an Anglo-Corsican family sharing our time between England and Porticcio and the family home in the mountains. Our children have been coming to Corsica all their lives and since our retirement we have been spending about 4 months a year in sunny Corsica.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house on our first visit. We were especially attracted to the stunning view over the sea towards the Isles de Sanguinaires which is wonderful in the morning for breakfast and with the sunset in the evening. We also particularly liked the proximity to the beach and Porticcio as we wanted our children to be able to come and go independently. The house is bright with light flooding in through windows and the sea breezes ensure that the interior remains cool, even in summer.

What makes this property unique

The views from the terrace, the garden and most of the windows are very special - uninterrupted sea views with the Isles de Sanguinaires clearly visible 15 Kms away, and Ajaccio 5 Kms across the bay and the views of the mountains. From dawn until dusk there is always some activity on the sea - boats arriving from the South of France, yachts, dinghies, motor boats and windsurfers. The views are absorbing and interesting from breakfast through to dinner and sunset. The beach and Porticcio are within a few minutes walk, downhill all the way there and a climb uphill for the return. Alternatively driving is quicker and parking usually easy.
