Description:
Just a few minutes from the old Genoese city of Porto-Vecchio and some of the most beautiful beaches of south Corsica, Casa Aqua is a superb set in mature gardens with a large private pool.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading onto the main living areas which are open plan. There is a large sitting dining room with comfortable seating, satellite television and DVD as well as a stereo/CD player and fireplace feature. From here large patio doors lead onto the main terrace and the pool beyond. To one end of the living room is the dining area with table and chairs for 6 people. An archway beyond leads to the American style kitchen which is fully equipped with a full oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as the extras one would expect in a house of this standard such as toaster, cafetiere and a store room housing the iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner.
Also on the ground floor is the master bedroom which has a kingsize bed (160cm) and private shower room and toilet arranged in the style of a hammam. For the convenience of guests, there is a further toilet and washbasin on this level. Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms; one with double bed and the other with two single beds. There is also a family bathroom with corner bath and shower attachment over, and two wash/handbasins and a separate toilet.
The house stands in 1150 square metres of land and the large private pool (8m x 5.5m) is surrounded by trees and shrubs. There is plenty of terrace space as well as a 'salon de jardin' with grill where you can enjoy barbecues if you don't want to venture out in the evening.
Should you ever tire of the views, Casa Aqua is just a few minutes drive from the town of Porto Vecchio where you can wander through the narrow streets and visit the chic boutiques offering the latest fashion, jewellery and local products. The medieval town of Bonifacio is also well worth a visit and is only about half an hours drive away. Right at the southern-most tip of the island, here you will find an intriguing mixture of Corsican and Italian influences which can be attributed to the numerous battles that have raged in the past, and the proximity to neighbouring Sardinia which is just 12km away by boat. Just outside Bonifacio is the fabulous Sperone Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, this is renowned as one of the best course in europe.
