NEW FOR 2027

Nestled in the heart of the Tarra di Sognu organic wine estate, this superlative private villa near Bonifacio offers discreet luxury in a natural setting. The house is dedicated to the art of outdoor living, with a fantastic summer kitchen and lounge, a sleek 14.5-metre pool, a boules pitch and extensive walled gardens.

NEW FOR 2027

This exceptional property is named after a rare white wine grape that’s native to Corsica and produces boutique wines that you’re very unlikely to find anywhere else. The vineyard sits on the limestone plateau responsible for Bonifacio’s incredibly dramatic clifftop setting, and this same limestone lends Tarra di Sognu wines their unique, mineral flavour. In building Biancu Gentile, the owners incorporated limestone walls so the house feels like an extension of the landscape, completely at home in this serene environment.

It’s a magnificent base for friends to gather or for a family to celebrate an occasion; each bedroom is en suite, and for younger guests, there’s lots of runaround room on the lush lawns. All the little extra comfort touches from a luxury property are here too, with pool heating offered in the shoulder season months and integrated mosquito nets so you can sleep with the windows open if you like. And despite the countryside feel, you can walk to the white sands of Canetto beach in about 25 minutes (or drive in five), with all the many restaurants, cafes, shops and boat trip possibilities of Bonifacio just ten minutes away by car.
