Everything you could wish for...

Ideally situated property with fabulous views across the bay. We watched the ferries, planes and cruise ships coming and going. Ajaccio and all it has to offer is not far away. Clean and very well equipped house. Supermarket and shops close by. To be recommended.

Comfortable House with Majestic Views

This attractive house on the edge of the coastal village of Porticcio has comfortable accommodation and a lovely dining terrace with glorious views looking west over the Bay of Ajaccio. We were blessed with stunning sunsets every night. The sandy beach is a short walk (about 5 minutes) down the hill and shops and restaurants are also within easy walking distance. The house was extremely well equipped and clean and the rocky garden stocked with an interesting variety of flowers, shrubs and small trees. There is also free availability to a sheltered tennis court just a couple of minutes away. I would recommend this charming cottage to anyone looking for vistas, peace and seclusion with all the attractions of a bustling coastal village on their doorstep.

Villa Josphine, Porticcio, Corsica

The house is fabulous, the position just wonderful and really the photographs don’t do justice to the views from the terrace and bedroom. It was a real pleasure to find the house so well equipped and obviously a lived-in family home not just a holiday let. The quality of the furnishings, crockery, kitchenware etc was really high and added to the enjoyment of the holiday.The housekeeper, Madame Pietri was very helpful. The information you left was really helpful too, we tried out quite a few of the restaurant recommendations. The shops in the village were all really good and everyone was friendly. I have rented houses across Europe for the last 25 years and quite honestly Villa Josephine is one of the best I have found.

Corsica delight

We spent a lovely week at Villa Josephine, Porticcio. The house is clean, comfortable and peaceful with lovely views over the bay, which can be enjoyed from the terrace as you eat dinner. Whilst Porticcio itself is not the prettiest place in Corsica, it has plenty to recommend it as a base. It has a long sandy beach and further down the coast are more beautiful beaches. It is possible to catch the ferry over to Ajaccio and also take a boat trip to Scandola,Les Calanques and Girolata which I highly recommend.We also drove to Bonifacio which should not be missed. After each day of exploring, it was lovely to be able to make a quick trip to the nearby supermarket and enjoy a home cooked meal on Villa Josephine's terrace whilst watching the sun sink into the Mediterranean.

Family from London

The villa was an absolute pleasure to stay in, with amazing views from every window, and a lovely terrace to relax on and admire the sunset. The complex looked a bit tired but overall it was good value for what we had paid. We managed a game of tennis one evening in the complex tennis courts which were adequately maintained boast a great view of the bay. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary utensils. All the furniture in the villa was comfortable and of good quality. Each room has double doors to the outside. It was quite a warm week and, as we preferred to not sleep with the doors open, we struggled with not having a fan in each room. That would be our only recommendation. We would definitely return to this villa on a future holiday.

Lovely house in Porticcio

We stayed in the house in the first week in May '10 and the house itself certainly added to our enjoyment of the holiday. The weather was unfortunately very mixed for our week there, but this meant we had more reason to use the house to its fullest. It's very unassuming from the outside, but it really makes the most of its raised location with its excellent views over the bay, a good layout and facilities. Our bedroom had a balcony which looked out over the bay which was a lovely view to wake up to. The kitchen and very comfortable sitting/dining room were very well presented, with some nice homely touches. The private, covered balcony & dining area is the jewel of the house, with great views over the bay, and I'm sure you would spend much time there during a hot summer. The house was on the upper end of our budget as a couple, but we were delighted we went with it. The house would comfortably accommodate a much larger group and sharing the costs amongst a number of people would certainly help, and staying in such a pleasant house certainly enhanced our holiday. The town of Porticcio is only a few minutes’ drive or 10 minute walk away. We found the local people to be very pleasant and they appreciated our poor efforts at speaking French! Porticcio has a lovely beach and the main part of the town is essentially a long strip parallel to the beach with a number of shops and restaurants along it. Le Club is the nicest one we found, and also has an excellent bakery for fresh bread and cakes. There is a Carrefour in the village where you would get your main groceries, as some of the other boutique type of shops are on the expensive side. Porticcio itself is pleasant but visually uninspiring, but it's beach and position in the bay is lovely. Apparently many locals from nearby Ajaccio weekend in Porticcio when it was indeed quite busy, although during the week it was much quieter, perhaps still early in the season. Chez Alain near Agosta beach also worth visiting for their fab mussels! The house is really only 15/20 minutes from the airport and you can see and hear the airport clearly from the balcony. We wondered if busy high-season flights would be irritating but it wasn't a problem for us. Hiring a car is very useful but you could manage without one if you wanted and were happy enough to walk everywhere or use taxis/public transport. We did drive to Bonifacio one day which was an experience on the twisty roads! Definitely worth considering!

séjour compliqué

Beaucoup de choses à revoir. Déjà dès qu'il pleut il y a une fuite, et de l'eau coule du plafond dans 1 des chambres. Les draps et linges fournis sentent le renfermé. Douche du haut : très peu de pression et peu fonctionnelle. Aucun interrupteur à côté de la porte de la chambre dès qu'on rentre dans celle-ci ne fonctionnent. Difficulté pour se garer. Bref villa à éviter

Villa with very nice sea view

This villa was perfect for our family for a week in April. A baby for and high chair were provided which we really appreciated for our toddler. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Enough space for everyone. Bedrooms were comfortable and reversible AC worked well to heat a bit as we got cold wind. The view is amazing from terrasse/living room and kitchen. Alain and Michele who welcomed us were great for check in and check out. We found everything that we needed during our stay. Lots of touring guides with a few in English so that was useful for my in-laws. Porticcio is a nice beach town with cafes and restaurant right in the beach, a super market and gas station and really anything you need within just minutes of driving. Nice public playground area and carousel for the kids! We were able to tour quite a few spots during our stay including the Sanguinari islands, Piana calanques with a boat tour from Porto, the turtle sanctuary, even down to Bonifacio, going through Propriano and Sartene. We are overall very happy of our stay at micheal and Marie Catherine.
