100m from the beach, charming house with sea view and pool

Extraordinaire!

This is the best villa I have ever stayed in! The view from the lounge and terrace is breathtaking as one gets an almost uninterrupted view of the bay. The VRBO photos don’t do this villa justice – it’s also one of the best supplied in the kitchen, with surplus towels and linen, and extra pillows and cushions everywhere.We suggest a stop at the old local town of Sartene on the way to shop for provisions (local shops and supermarket) as although there is a small local shop in Tizzano it is basic and expensive. Go back for the museum and a stroll through the ancient stone streets (and Saturday market).Our hosts, Jeanine and Martine, who are lovely, met us outside the local hotel and showed us to the villa – great service and a comprehensive welcome pack of goodies especially Jeanine's apricot jam.Nowhere is very far in Tizzano and it is an easy walk from the villa to the local shop, the harbour and restaurants – pricey but Ria Nova (closest only 4 minutes slow walk) is very good. We ate in most nights but the view makes it worthwhile. The sea really is only 100m from the villa.

We have stayed in a number of lovely villas over the years but this was by some distance the most beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. We were met by Jeanine, the owner who provided a lovely welcome pack including some eggs from her own chickens and home made marmalade. (delicious😋) We knew from the photos how nice the villa was but to be honest these did not do justice the real thing. It was stunning. We had the most relaxing of breaks, sitting by the pool with amazing views over the sea. The pool was amazing and we made regular use of it during our stay. The villa is set in extensive grounds with mature trees and shrubs and provides a route down towards the nearby beach. Having just returned we are already considering our options for returning in 2025.

The house is beautiful with amazing views, such a perfect location.
