About this property
Set among towering trees just 500m from the sea, Villa La Roya offers a refined escape where contemporary design meets the easy rhythm of coastal living. The house unfolds across generous grounds, its clean architectural lines softened by greenery, creating a sense of calm. Light filters through wide openings, drawing the outdoors in and inviting unhurried days beneath Corsica’s warm sky.
Inside, space and style come together in the main villa. Four bedrooms provide a restful retreat as well as three modern bathrooms. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly onto the terrace where the pool glistens, setting the scene for relaxed mornings and sociable evenings. There’s a modern vibe throughout alongside characterful touches such as cool tiled floors, exposed stone and charming wood beams.
A separate, self-contained annexe with its own bedroom, kitchen and bathroom offers added flexibility, ideal for guests seeking a little independence, allowing Villa La Roya to sleep up to 10 guests.
After a morning by the sea or a hike along coastal trails, return to Villa La Roya for leisurely lunches spent gathered around the table, before cooling off in the gorgeous swimming pool. Embrace the Corsican ambience with swaying palms and native plants across the verdant grounds.
Just 500 metres from the coast and close to the soft sands of Plage de la Roya, the villa enjoys a privileged setting near one of Haute-Corse’s most appealing stretches of coastline. A leisurely walk down the lane leads to the beach, then continue along the shore to the charming harbour town of Saint-Florent, around 2.5km away, with its marina, cafés and winding streets. Beyond, vineyards, traditional villages and the wild beauty of the Désert des Agriates offer endless opportunities to explore by car.
For families or groups of friends seeking space, style and proximity to the sea, Villa La Roya promises a stay defined by ease and understated sophistication.
Just a short stroll from the shimmering coastline, Villa La Roya enjoys a superb setting around 500m away from the edge of Plage de la Roya. A seasonal beachside restaurant awaits approximately 850m from the villa, alongside summer watersports opportunities, while a wander in the other direction reveals the main sweep of Plage de la Roya, backed by fragrant pine trees and blessed with natural beauty and views across to Saint-Florent.
Following the coast on foot (or a short 2.5km drive), you will soon arrive in the heart of Saint-Florent, a charming harbour town known for its picturesque marina and inviting waterfront. Here, cafés spill onto the quayside and narrow streets weave through the old town, perfect for unhurried exploration. Useful amenities are close at hand, with a grocery shop in the town and a larger supermarket around 3km by car.
Beyond the coast, the surrounding villages offer an authentic glimpse into Corsican life. Oletta (10km) enchants with its rustic stone houses and peaceful lanes, while Patrimonio (11km) is famed for its vineyards and long-standing winemaking traditions. The landscape here is shaped by centuries of cultivation, creating a rich tapestry of vines and rolling countryside.
Nature lovers will be drawn to the remarkable Désert des Agriates, a protected expanse of rugged terrain and untouched coastline within easy reach. From Saint-Florent, summer boat trips lead to the celebrated beaches of Plage de Saleccia and Plage du Loto, known for their crystal-clear waters and secluded sands. For experienced hikers, the Sentier des Douaniers begins at Plage de la Roya, offering a challenging coastal hike.
Further afield, Cap Corse beckons with dramatic scenery and winding coastal roads, while to the west, L’Île-Rousse and the Balagne villages, around an hour away, offer hilltop charm and a rich artisan heritage, perfect for memorable day trips.
