The maquis-hidden house
10 Guests

Hidden amidst the aromatic maquis of Corsica’s southern coast, I Bruzzi is a discreet, reflective ode to the beauty that surrounds it. Wood clads its low-rise walls, decks its pool area and shades its terraces, enveloping the whole in a geometric ligneous camouflage. Step across the threshold, meanwhile, and one enters a world of contemporary refinement, ingenious design and generous comfort.

The Area
I Bruzzi looks out over the lovely sandy beaches and sheltered bays of Corsica's south coast, near Pianottoli. The nearest beach is an easily walkable 650m away. About 20km to the southeast is Bonifacio, one of Corsica's most dramatically positioned and picturesque towns. Teetering perilously on a high cliff above the sea it offers sublime views over to Sardinia and a great selection of restaurants and bars.
Less than an hour's drive northwest is the panoramically positioned, medieval town of Sartène, whose pretty labyrinth of streets gives an idea of Corsican life away from the coastline.
Heading up the east coast one comes to a series of delightful beaches, including those of Santa Giulia, Tamaricciu and Palombaggia, and Porto Vecchio, another of Corsica's many charming towns offering a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants and a nice old town centre looking over the large natural harbour.
Further afield on the west coast is the island's capital, Ajaccio, which is well worth a visit, not least so you can say that you've been to the birthplace of the great Napoleon.

I Bruzzi is a very relaxing, peaceful villa with great outdoor space. What stood out was the location, the swimming pool and the natural surroundings.

We had a magical and unforgettable holiday at I Bruzzi. What stood out was tincredible view of the ocean, the infinity pool, the beautiful architecture of the property and the quality of the appliances. We usually do not return to the same place on holiday, but I Bruzzi was very special.

Staff and owners of I Bruzzi were friendly and accommodating - all of them. The vegetables and fruit from their garden was most welcome, and appreciated.
