Villa LILY BAY baie de Santa Giulia-Porto Vecchio

The house is beautifully situated, with breathtaking views over the bay of Santa Giulia. It is exceptionally well equipped, with a spacious kitchen and everything you could possibly need. The entire house is spotless, and the stunning garden makes it even more special. A little paradise and an absolute dream!

Nothing - just perfect

dalla terrazza si gode di una vista fantastica. posizione eccellente: 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di santa giulia, e 15 in macchina dalla palombaggia. casa accogliente e ben arredata, fornita di elettrodomestici nuovi e moderni. quando anche stare in casa è vacanza.

il giardino al tramonto si riempie di zanzare, ma in tutta questa zona della corsica ne abbiamo trovate molte. munirsi di zampironi e autan è indespensabile.

Zeer smaakvol en luxe ingericht huis

Niets Tip: de enige aanmerking die wij hebben is dat het fijn zou zijn dat naast de handdoeken ook een set badlakens aanwezig zijn voor het zwembad en het strand.

The view

The location. We had to drive everywhere. Didn’t want to go out at night as it was so dark, no street lights, no cats eyes and narrow roads from hell. There was a beach restaurant, possibly two but we only tried one, about a 15 minute walk away down hill. But coming back it was uphill and 31 degrees, not fun. Didn’t fancy walking it at night. The villa had everything you needed..but the sheets on the bed were horrible to be honest, dry and itchy. Not hotel quality like you would expect for the money really. It could’ve done with a really good deep clean too. There is a cleaner obviously but I’m pretty sure she relies on the outgoing guest to do the bulk of it for her. I’m not going to say on here what was wrong, it’s not fair. I will just say the house inside was so dark and gloomy , the lights were all dim and cast an orange glow. Black worktops and dark cupboards made it seem quite oppressive. Obvs the shutters have to stay shut to keep the sun and mozzies out which makes it worse, but you can help that my brightening the inside where you can. One point that needs clarification.. the pool.. the villa does not have its own pool! The advert on booking.com makes it look like it does, however there is a public pool 50 metres away, uphill for anyone with walking difficulties You get given the code to get into it. When we 1st booked it we did think we had our own pool and then realised over time we didn’t. I will add that looking back at the photos on booking.com now the villa is quite different in real life. Shutters have been added in dark wood so inside the villa it’s much darker. Plus the garden is really overgrown now, too much to be honest. The mosquitos were really bad, made worse I think from all the plants. One last point.. there are 360 cctv cameras around the villa outside, which I get, for security. But we did feel like we were being watched and listened to when we’re were outside on the veranda, which we were all the time when we were there.
