Maison Maquis - the view, the silence, the sea

We were two families with one child each. The location of the house was perfect with a pleasant breeze and gorgeous views. The house was spacious and roomy. Both families enjoyed to be together as well as being private. The veranda on both sides of the house made us enjoy the sun and the shade at the same time. The kitchen was fully equipped, even better than what we have at home:) the property was very very clean and pristine. There were two beaches nearby, both exceptional. There were enough equipment to take to the beach, umbrellas chairs etc. Best of all, the communication with the owner was great, she gave all the vital recommendations such as the supermarket etc. Overall we had one of the best vacaion stays! Thanks sooo much!

The house is perfectly situated, at the very top of Tizzano, looking down on the beautiful beach and across the bay. Very peaceful, as barely any passing traffic. The vast living/kitchen/dining room has beautiful views through every window. The house was spotlessly clean, and every bedroom looked fresh and welcoming. It is simply furnished, but provides everything you would need. The drive is very steep, and parking and driving up it was a bit intimidating at first, but you get used to it. Being at the very top of the hill, it's a steep walk down to the beach, but easily managed in 10 minutes, and quicker for fitter people! We managed with 3 ladies aged over 90! Tizzano itself provides everything you could need - a few excellent restaurants right on the beach, a couple of shops for all the basics, and a perfect, huge beach, with the whitest sand, and bluest sea. Being up high, it is quite exposed, so when it is windy, it is difficult to find a sheltered spot - but that's when the large amount of space inside, and the huge french windows are a particular asset. If it is very windy there are plenty of other more sheltered beaches to explore - we recommend Campomoro. Dealing with Francesca, and arranging the booking was so easy - she was so helpful, and accommodating. Paulina, the lovely lady who cleans the house, and welcomes you could not have been kinder or more helpful. All in all this was a hugely successful holiday, in a lovely house, in a perfect position.

The house is beautiful, clean, tidy and equipped with everything you might need. The view from the terrace is wonderful. In a few minutes you can reach the beach of Tizzano while in 15-20 minutes you can find other spectacular sites by car. The location is relaxing and perfect for a full immersion into nature. We had beautiful time!

This villa sounds nice, but the reality is even nicer. The villa is comfortable, beautiful, and spacious. It is located at the very top of a hill, with an unobstructed view of the Tizzano beach, the gulf, and the sea. The walk down to the beach is 5-10 minutes by stairs, or a shorter drive. Sunsets from the villa are unforgettable. Sartene, the nearest town, is 20-30 minutes by car unless you're very familiar with the road. The villa was very clean and well-maintained. The open-plan kitchen was very well equipped, and the living area spacious enough for 7 friends to relax comfortably. The kitchen/dining/living area has doors to the outside on 3 sides. and so, in the summer, can attract ants and wasps. Francesca, the owner, warned us about this when we reserved. In general, Francesca was very responsive and very helpful before, during, and after our stay. While Tizzano itself is quite small and quiet, its beach is beautiful, and that's where we spent most of our time. Two of our group went on a hike around the island to Campomoro. We tried a good restaurant on the Sartene road called U Sirenu, but we mostly found preferred to cook meals ourselves in the villa while watching the sunsets. All of us loved the place, and some of us intend to go back again. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation with a good group of friends or a large family. - Ari B.
