Family to share villa in Corsica ...!


Do you have the urge to discover the region where Laetitia Casta, Jacques Dutronc and even Johnny Hallyday and JeanReno spend happy days in summer ? Then head for la Balagne, between Calvi and Cape Corsica in one of the Belluccia Villas. On the menu: hotel services, an age-old family mansion and a luminous coast. Book without delay!


Between sea and mountain

There are two. Two villas overlooking Balagne and connected by an overflow swimming pool that seems to drop into the sea, 300 metres below. A vast area that enjoys a mild landscape marked by the troubling airs of the Tuscany,sheltered from village hustle and bustle and indiscreet onlookers by its olive trees, orange trees and lemon trees, which, not content with isolating us from the over-curious people, give off their savours and suavely tickle our senses. There, not far from the vibrant Calvi and the legendary VIP clientele of Rousse Island, we take time-out for a l00%-Mediterranean experience, with family or friends, before going on a musical escapade at one of the numerous festivals nearby or taking one of the villages by storm, Cateri being first choice.



La Dolce Vita

To my left Laurina, the older of the two mansions, with its 180 m2 exposed to the sun, on two floors, can accommodate up to 7 persons. On the menu : 3 rooms with their respective bathrooms, a completely equipped kitchen, a hammam and living room that opens onto a patio. To my right, Flora, less in years, reserves its 140 m2 for six persons. In other words, 3 rooms with bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and living room. The Belluccia villas which is only seven kilometres from the beach, can enjoy everyday a superb view over the Aregno Plain and the Gulf of Algajola. A superb panorama in an idyllic calm. The Caribbeans and the Indian Ocean may finally have a great deal to learn from the Mediterranean ...!
