Whether you’re overlooking its idyllic beaches, next to its steep mountains, or surrounded by scrubland, the Isle of Beauty is even more stunning when you can admire it from the terrace or garden of a prestigious home. Purchasing a luxury home in Corsica is all the rage right now since the island, whose inhabitants speak with a sing-song accent, is a mere five-hour yacht ride away from mainland France. In addition to the enchanting setting, the island’s gastronomy is firmly rooted in family tradition.

A luxury beach hut-style home in Bonifacio (20169)

A living room with an organic atmosphere

Built on a 1 hectare plot of land at the tip of a peninsula, the home offers 300 m² of living space split between eight rooms, including an incredible reception room and five bedrooms. It even has its own white sand beach and a place to dock a 30 m yacht.
