Two kms from the characteristic town of Saint-Florent in northern Corsica, a restored counrty dwelling sits tucked away amid cypress and olive trees, snug in the Mediterranean bush but just a few hundred metres from its blue waters. The villa's gardens spill over into 4 hectares of Patrimonio vineyards, and the balconies overlook the rugged mountains outining the horizon. Built out of local stone and decorated with rustic charm, the two houses which make up Villa Brietta each have their own swimming pool immersed in the green: the largest counts 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 3 bedroom and 2 baths in the second. Air-conditioned and equipped with all modern appliances for cooking and technology, Brietta offers a true rural cum beach holiday in the most scenographic area of the Corsican island, without the sacrifice modern comforts.
