About this property
IN THE HEART OF PARADISE
THE HOUSE OF ROMANTICISM, FEET IN THE WATER For nature lovers, because here you will spend your life mainly outside, by the water, in a beautiful and eccentric wooded park of more than five thousand M2, embraced by the sea, the mountains and the maquis. The property at your disposal includes - the ground floor of a stone house comprising living room, dining room, fitted kitchen, 3 bedrooms (2 of which are communicating) and 2 bathrooms - An air-conditioned stone hut "Tanzania" an old chapel with king size four-poster bed facing the sea, bathroom and toilet in the jungle of the birds of Paradise, a terrace in the trees to admire the sunset -An air-conditioned wooden cabin "L'ile de la Réunion" including a King size four-poster bed under the pine trees, a bathroom in the trees outside with shower facing the sea, sink made of teak root furniture and a toilet enthroned in a small cabin. 8 to 10 travellers (see description in highlights) + A love nest under the stars: Four-poster bed - water mattress, bathroom under the pines and private mini pool You will have an exceptional living space made up of different nooks and crannies allowing you to isolate yourself for your privacy or your work while meeting up with your family or friends in unusual places in the sun or in the shade or in the water under the waterfall in the garden, in the small pool or in the sea. Here your dreams will come true! And the location is simply magical: Located in a secluded cove in the bay of Calvi, facing the citadel, this property where you can moor your boat, is about 15 minutes from the airport and 10 kms from the lively beach area and the port of Calvi, dotted with multiple restaurants and terraces overlooking the sea. A 5-minute walk from your accommodation, you will have access to many coves surrounded by lagoons with turquoise water and some evenings you can have a candlelit dinner, nearby, on the beach, in the famous restaurant "Le Matahari", one of the favourite addresses of the stars. ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: "In the heart of Paradise" A Corsican fable tells that when God created the world, he had pieces of land left; He chose the most beautiful ones and brought them together to create the island of beauty, a Paradise on earth. This property "In core di u Paradisu" brings together the most beautiful places in the world through its architecture, fauna and flora. It is the ideal place for lovers who want to live unique moments in total communion with nature: This park, some of whose rocks will remind you of the Seychelles, is surrounded by water with direct and private access to a secluded cove, the most beautiful swimming pool for your swimming. You can walk through lush and varied vegetation that evokes Indonesia, Tanzania, Mexico, ... where each place has a small lounge where privacy is preserved. The multiple levels of the garden, dotted with rocks sculpted by the wind, will allow you to isolate yourself. On hot days, you can cool off under a waterfall flowing into an 18 M2 pool. As soon as night falls, you will fall under the spell of its most beautiful coloured clothes, lulled by the song of the water. The view is heavenly: Facing the bay of Calvi, you will feel like you are alone in the world and you will be able to admire the magical harmony of a site where the sea, the mountains and the maquis embrace at leisure and ignite under majestic sunsets, illuminating Christopher Columbus' birthplace citadel every evening.

Very good

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is located in a partially rocky landscape and is surrounded by the fantastic nature of the Corsican Macchia.
The beautiful large garden leads almost to the sea and the last steps are partly over the rocks to the water, from where you can also go snorkeling.
The many lovingly arranged, unique seating areas invite you to linger and, depending on the sun or shade, you can find your favorite spot.
The owners are very friendly and always available.
We can only recommend this wonderful paradise.

Les extérieurs sont très jolis comme indiqué sur l’annonce cependant la décoration intérieure est a revoir … forte odeur de renfermée en arrivant, mobilier vétuste, ambiance glauque…nous avons quitté 2 jours avant le logement…. P.S: la plage est très difficile d’accès, il me paraît juste de le mentionner.

Au téléphone vous m'avez indiqué que tout était merveilleux . Vos écrits sont en totale contradiction.
La Corse est authentique et n'accepte pas les " Pinzutu " et étrangers qui critiquent leurs valeurs :
Vous vous permettez de critiquer le mobilier " vétuste " constitué de meubles corses d'époque réalisés par des artisans locaux , de détester l'odeur du maquis, de trouver le lieu glauque alors que tous les voyageurs précédents n'ont eu que des mots élogieux sur le lieu et l'habitation qu'ils qualifient de " Paradis". Vous n'aimez ni la Corse , ni les corses. Merci de ne plus revenir sur l'ile de beauté !
Superbe endroit pour le farniente, la beauté du lieu et l accueil excellent de la part d Almanda. C est encore plus beau en vrai que sur le site.A 15 minutes de Calvi en face de la citadelle c est juste magique.Je recommande.
