A traditional Corsican farmhouse set in the countryside of Regino valley with secluded grounds and a large private pool.
Set in the countryside of the Regino valley below the village of Monticello and just a short drive from the beaches of L’Ile Rousse and Lozari, Villa Mimosa has been sympathetically designed with a rustic theme and neutral undertones to reflect the local architecture. Well-equipped and unfussy in style, it's the ideal place to retreat to the Corsican hinterland and is a great-value-for-money property.
The main villa has a spacious open-plan living/dining room with French doors opening out to a large sunny terrace and barbecue area, a good kitchen and three bedrooms. The annexe house which comprises two further bedrooms and a simple living / kitchen area can be added at a supplement, ideal if you need to accommodate larger parties or for extended families wishing to holiday together (call to book the annexe house).
The main focus here though is the garden - replete with Mediterranean plants, large private pool and plenty of sunloungers, the place feels wonderfully secluded. It's also the perfect location from which to explore the foothills of la Balagne with its network of hiking paths and scenic drives taking you from village to village, or the fabulous coastline with its string of beaches and charming old towns.

A large beach which is rarely crowded. Access to the beach is between the turnings for Palasca and Belgodère and there is ample car parking. With a couple of beach café’s, this beach is stepped and shelves quite steeply at the waterline. Please note in rough seas, beware with less accomplished swimmers and children.
The is a busy one! Hundreds of sun loungers and parasols belonging to the café restaurants line the beach. If you're prepared to wander you can generally find a quiet spot. Another benefit of its size is that it is generally patrolled. It's a fine yellow sand beach and the water is a gorgeous clear blue. There are good opportunities here for water sports.
Held in late June, this festival consists of a week of concerts in and around the citadel. Those in the music tent on the port or in the cathedral in the citadel are usually very popular and well known and require you to book a ticket. Jamming sessions in the harbour front bars in the evenings add to the ambiance.
At the end of October, on Calvi beach, this festival celebrates everything connected with wind. Hundreds of kites and microlight aircraft displays on the beach coupled with concerts every evening has resulted in this festival attractive thousands of visitors every year.
