Luxury Beachfront Studio · Panoramic sea view · Direct beach access · Corsica

The apartment is my little sanctuary facing the sea. The part of this island I choose to share with you.

Some mornings, you open your eyes and the sea is simply there : vast, turquoise, close enough to touch, as if the whole world had quietly shrunk to what matters most. This apartment is not a brochure promise. It is your reality from the very first coffee, on a balcony suspended above Tenutella beach, in the gulf of Valinco. Nestled on the top floor, entirely renovated with premium materials and hotel-grade attention to detail, this intimate retreat was designed for two.

THE SPACE

The moment you step through the door, something shifts, the view, which floods through the glass door like a living painting.

A 140 cm bed dressed in carefully chosen house linens, natural light that moves through the space from dawn to dusk. The open kitchen, overlooking the living area, is equipped with everything you need to cook and savour good things.

The boulangerie is 500 metres away for those who prefer their mornings with fresh bread.

The bathroom is an experience in itself: walk-in rainfall shower, designer basin, backlit mirror, quality toiletries. And one secret details : from the shower, the sea is still there. Trust me, you never get used to it.

On the balcony, suspended above the Mediterranean, you will watch the sun set over the gulf of Valinco as it shifts through every shade of gold, amber and rose. Some evenings, you simply won't want to move.

THE EXPERIENCE

The apartment is a pause. Not accommodation but a different way of inhabiting Corsica. You wake to the sound of waves. You drink your coffee facing a horizon that belongs only to you. You spend the morning in the water and the afternoon on a trail through the maquis, without ever needing a car. In the evening, the light turns the balcony into something ineffable.

For lovers who want to disappear.
For travellers who notice every detail.
For those who know that the real Corsica is something you live, hear and breathe.


LOCATION

Tenutella beach, Olmeto, South Corsica — between crystal-clear water and wild maquis, on the D157 coastal road between Propriano and Porto-Pollo.

Everything you need is within reach: bakery 500 m, grocery store 800 m, restaurants all around.


· Ajaccio Airport (AJA) — 1h15 drive. Best connected, direct flights from most European cities.
· Figari Airport (FSC) — 1h30 drive. Quieter, sometimes cheaper. Perfect if you wish to visit Bonifacio or Porto-Vecchio on arrival.
· Ferry from Marseille — Propriano harbour is only 15 min away (Corsica Linea). Ideal if you're bringing your own car.

Porto-Pollo · 5 min
Propriano · 15 min
Sartène · 30 min
Ajaccio · 1h15
Porto-Vecchio · 2h
Bonifacio · 2h

A personal tip: if you arrive via Ajaccio, take the coastal road through Propriano rather than the inland route. It adds 20 minutes, but your first glimpse of the gulf of Valinco is worth every one of them.
