Villa Alba Marina - Self-catering house in Corse du Sud
Route des Sanguinaires, 20000 Ajaccio, Corse du Sud
Corsica,
Francia
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.
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.
You can nip to the beach for a morning swim, go kayaking, paddle boarding and loll 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.

Local points of interest from Sheila Smertnik:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Sheila Smertnik:
- Stroll over to the beach, literally 3minutes away-the first of a series of beaches up and down the coast, each with their distictive features and ambiance- and typical "pailottes"- Corsican beach restaurants , where you can have a nice meal or a drink!
- Sample local produce at Ajaccio's colourful daily market, visit the city's Napoleonic historical sites, or pick up the latest in French fashion in the boutiques on the Cours Napoleon , all a short drive (or bus or bike ride) from the villa.
- Soak up the beautiful pink sunsets: from the villa's terrace or garden , see the spectacular reds from the tip of the Sanguinaires, or follow the sun's slipping like an orange egg yolk into the sea at Capo di Feno beach! Lovely way to end the day.
- Walk the smugglers' coastal trail from the villa ,past the Sanguinaires ,leading to the beautiful and wild Capo di Feno surfer's beach , or the"Chemin des Cretes " mountain path from the villa to downtown Ajaccio: breathtaking views guaranteed !
- Explore the Genovese tower at Parata point, the lighthouse and lazaret on the Sanguinaires Islands. The French author Alphonse Daudet spent some months there, in 1863 and describes it as both rugged and dreamlike in his "Les Lettres de Mon Moulin"
- Go up in to the mountains ! visit Bocognano on the road to Corte .Breathe in the mountain air while trying your hand at canyoning,via ferrata or accrobranche, or enjoying the cascades and waterfalls and footpaths near the legendary G20 hiking trail
