One of Corsica’s most distinctive features is the proximity of impressive granite peaks to the coast, a spectacular fusion of high Alpine wilderness and pristine Mediterranean beaches that gives rise to truly breathtaking views. Sitting close to San Ciprianu beach, four-bedroom Mare e Monte captures both the sea and mountain panoramas thanks to its dual aspect design, framing green hills and an ultramarine sea in floor-to-ceiling glass. Slide back the doors and you can step out onto your pool terrace to the rear of the villa, a beautifully private spot to swim, sunbathe or just relax and revel in the glorious views.
Mare e Monte lies at one end of San Ciprianu bay, a long crescent of fine white sand lapped by turquoise water, with plenty of watersports options and a cluster of small restaurants in the village, which lies at the opposite end of the bay. The clear waters make it a popular dive centre, and if you take out an SUP and a mask you can see plenty of marine life without even going under water. The bay is also the home of Le Cabanon Bleu, a renowned beach bar and restaurant which is something of a local institution. For a wider choice of places to dine and shop, you can reach buzzy Porto Vecchio in around 30 minutes by car.
Villa barbecues
Many of our villas have a barbecue provided. However, use of barbecues may be restricted or prohibited during the main summer season in order to comply with local regulations.

We had an amazing holiday at Villa Mare et Monte! The villa is stylishly designed with stunning views of both the mountains and the sea, and has so much charm as well. It is set in a quiet and lovely neighbourhood. Close by is a lovely beach bar which has wonderful food, wine and cocktails and is set on a gorgeous beach. San Cyprien and its lovely beach bars and restaurants are also not far away as well as Pinarello beach and Lecci for all your food supplies. All the Simpson team were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a fabulous holiday! Thank you Ville Mare et Monte and Simpson Travel!
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.
