Perched on a hillside with far-reaching views over northern Corsica’s maquis-clad slopes to the infinite blue of Calvi Bay, impressive Villa Sopra is ideal for a large group or two families travelling together. The generous open-plan layout offers contemporary and comfortable interiors with an appealing sense of light and space, further enhanced by giant picture windows and an expansive pool terrace accessed from the main living area. There’s also an en-suite double bedroom on this level, whilst a further three stylishly appointed bedrooms lead out onto a second terrace on the lower level. The uppermost level is home to a charming master suite with its own balcony; a delightfully sunny spot to stretch out and enjoy the magnificent views of the coast. If you prefer a shady spot to enjoy your book, there's also a small lawned area beside the pool.
It is rare to find such a luxurious property within walking distance of Calvi and its sweeping golden beach, but a 30-minute stroll, or 5-minute drive, puts you at the heart of the action. The town is full of enticing little boutiques and all kinds of dining from wood-fired pizza to the catch of the day, fresh from the bay. And if you prefer to dine in, the kitchen at Villa Sopra is very well equipped as the owners use the property themselves out of season. As evening falls, the twinkling lights of Calvi town and citadel make for a perfect backdrop.
Villa Sopra is one of a pair of villas, and sits directly above Villa Sottu. Whether you choose to book the one or both together for the ultimate house party, you're perfectly placed to enjoy the beauty, history, culture and gourmet delights of this spectacular region.

The views, the space, the light, the spec... loved absolutely everything about this house. What surprised us most was how peaceful it was, almost hypnotically silent at night and therefore so restful. Debbie the concierge was outstanding - we arrived in the middle of the night due to a very delayed ferry (storms!) but she insisted on coming to meet us with the keys and explain how everything worked. In this age of apps you sometimes feel that the role of the rep is redundant, and as regular travellers we felt that we'd never need her service. However she proved herself invaluable, and I did feel sorry for all our fellow ferry passengers going off into the night without a Debbie to look out for them! A superb experience all round, thank you.
Our choice of Corsican properties is as diverse as the island itself, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
With fishermen mending their nets by the harbour, Calvi’s maritime heritage remains intact. However, the town has gained a new lease of life in the cafés and bars along Quai Landry, linking the marina and the port, with stretches of beach beyond.
Inland, the unspoilt beauty of The Balagne tells a different story of mountain wildernesses and the island's unspoilt and uniquely fragrant maquis. Follow the Route des Artisans through terracotta-tiled hilltop villages, overlooking a landscape of forests and mountains, and you’ll also find that an excellent glass of local wine is never far away.
Choose a holiday in Calvi & The Balagne and one of our handpicked luxury villas will put you in the heart of this diverse and beautiful destination.
