About this property
Fortified house (16th century tower) in the heart of a village in southern corsica
Lovers of the old stones and the historical past of Corsica will love 'A Torra' restored 16th century character between Sea and Mountain.
This fortified house (fortified stone house) is located in the heart of the village, below the main street, on a small square shaded by mulberry-plane trees.
A stone staircase gives access to the 1st floor to a terrace, where the main door opens onto a living / dining room and kitchenette. (See photos)
The other floors offer a room with a bed for 2 people as well as the bathroom, toilet and 2 beds in 90. (see photos)
