On a hillside estate, Villa l’Alta (‘The High One’) forms part of a cluster of five villas, along with Villa Doniche, Villa Vigna Maggiore, Villa Vista and Villa A Murta near the ancient village of Olmeto. This spacious one-bedroom, contemporary property enjoys stunning sea views with French windows opening out onto a delightful private terrace. From the sumptuous double bed you can gaze out over woodland and the glorious views across the Valinco Gulf.
Outside, there’s a private plunge pool built into the rocks, as well as a barbecue. The large, lawned areas of the estate help create a lovely sense of space and the villas, although neighbouring, are well spaced out giving you your privacy wherever you stay.
The tranquil, terracotta-roofed Propriano with its shops and restaurants is a 10-minute drive away and beyond that, the unspoilt beaches of the Valinco. The area is a walker’s paradise and the perfect base for exploring the area and the traditional village of Sartène nearby.

The Gulf of Valinco makes for an inspiring holiday destination – and not just for the wonderful beaches. Propriano is one of the oldest island resorts, its marina lined with cafés and restaurants. South lies Campomoro and, to the north, in the folds of the Taravo Valley, stand the menhirs of Filitosa. Inland, you’ll find the mountain villages of the Alta Rocca, below the Bavella Peaks. And don’t miss the ancient capital of the south, Sartène, a favourite with wine buffs.
