Villa Scorpio, Corsica

Description

With views to kill, luxury Villa Scorpio is a decadent, sprawling property perched on a wild hillside on the south coast of Corsica.

Light and spacious, Villa Scorpio is all about relaxing, with big sofas scattered about both indoors and outdoors, in the sun and in the shade. Built in traditional style, the property blends into its natural surroundings, yet step inside and you’ll find clean lines, cool, crisp design and creature comforts at every turn.

As well as a private cinema room and a fully air-conditioned gym, the bedrooms here are fabulous. Each has a DVD player, plasma screen and iPod docking station, so couples can enjoy some private time snuggling up together, and kids can wind down in style before bed.

It’s hard to escape the ocean view, as most of the villa opens out onto the garden area; stepping stones leading you to various sun terraces and the large heated outdoor swimming pool. And if you get bored of doing lengths? Simply sit back and enjoy a glass of Champagne in the outdoor hot tub overlooking the ocean.

Lounging about is truly the way to go at Villa Scorpio, but if you can tear yourself away from the villa, Palombaggia beach is just a short walk away. With fabulous turquoise waters, it was recently voted one of the top 10 beaches in Europe by The Sunday Times.

Eating

On arrival, a welcome pack will be ready and waiting which includes a bottle of Champagne, local wines, charcuterie and cheeses.

With that incredible ocean view penetrating the villa from almost every angle, you can keep on drinking it in as you enjoy a feast around the large dining table situated at the edge of the terrace.

In the kitchen that overlooks the dining area, your private chef will be rustling up something special, using the finest local ingredients and in-season delicacies, fresh fish and local meats. The menu can be tailored to suit your party – whether you’d like a barbecue-style buffet by the pool or gastro dining around the table served up with fine wines.

If you have children who would like high tea, this can easily be arranged. In fact, anything you need can be organised, from Champagne brought to you in the hot tub to canapés and cocktails served in the garden.

Please note that cost of food and drinks will be charged for separately, allowing the chef to tailor menus to your exact requirements.

Kids

Children will love Villa Scorpio. As the pool is heated, they can splash away to their hearts’ content; and then mix it up with some bubbles in one of the hot tubs.

Villa Scorpio is spacious and secluded, so it’s safe for children to run about and explore. And when they finally run out of energy, the cinema room complete with DVD library is the perfect place to chill out after dinner. And, because every bedroom also has a TV and DVD player, you can tuck them up in bed without the risk of hearing the patter of little feet while you’re enjoying your evening meal…

Elsewhere, Palombaggia beach is just a short walk from the villa, for fun in the sand and sheltered dips in the sea.

If you need them, high chairs, cots and other baby items can all be arranged – just let us know what you need at the time of booking.
