Property HFT56549, Holiday Villa for rental in Lumio, Corsica, France

If you're looking for something typically Corsican, look no further than this rural retreat. Set in rustic Lumio, this attractive stone villa is a traditional hideaway that can't fail to charm you. From the warm decor, to the peaceful atmosphere, you'll feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Spilt into two apartments, each with two double bedrooms, the renovation was a real labour of love for the owner and you'll soon see why. Downstairs, you'll find a pretty stone terrace dotted with plants and shrubs, home to a generous swimming pool that's perfect for leisurely days in the Corsican sunshine. And the views from here are breathtaking, stretching all the way out to the sapphire-coloured seas. Just imagine. A glass of chilled wine to hand. The rythmic sound of the soothing seas as your background noise. It's the perfect scenario. But a day of rest isn't everyone's cup of tea and there's plenty to discover in the area. Pack a picnic and drive to the shimmering shores of Calvi, only 20 minutes away. Or take the ten minute trip to the shops and browse the rustic shops selling fresh local produce such as olive oil and just-baked bread. Don't miss buying some Corsican Brin d'Amour. Translated, it means 'little bit of love,' and after the first bite you'll see why. Rolled in rosemary along with juniper berries and chilli peppers, spread a generous amount on a crusty baguette, take it out on to terrace with a large glass of Muscat and soak up the gorgeous views. With all this on offer, it's no wonder Villa Lumio is such a popular choice.
