Villa Bella Petra

Located in the beautiful region of Balagne, between the charming town of Calvi and the picturesque Ile Rousse, this 220-square-metre house offers an exceptional starting point for adventures in the mountains and by the sea. The holiday home Bella Petra was designed by the well-known architect Philippe Charbonneau and built in 1993. It has recently been renovated to preserve its authentic charm while providing modern comfort. The house is completely covered with traditional Corsican stone and, with its spacious design, is reminiscent of a Corsican village. Large windows offer a magnificent view of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding landscape with the striking Monte Grosso (2000 m). The property is home to lemon, tangerine, plum and olive trees, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Bella Petra impresses with its simple elegance, quiet location, spacious architecture and light-flooded rooms. Inside the house, you will find high ceilings and five spacious rooms, all with access to the outdoor area. Five bathrooms, a guest toilet and a fully equipped kitchen offer comfort and convenience for family and friends. A stone outdoor shower gives the whole a unique touch and allows you to refresh yourself in idyllic surroundings after a day at the beach. The spacious terrace with breathtaking views is the perfect place for al fresco dining and drinks, offering complete privacy. The 2800 square metre property enhances this feeling of freedom and space. The holiday villa is located in the prestigious Davia Marina and offers the unique advantage of being able to reach several beaches on foot via macchia paths, without having to drive or cross a paved road. A picturesque 5-minute walk leads to a secluded, beautiful cove with a pebble beach, where you can enjoy solitude even in the high season. Just 15 minutes (900 m) further on is the wide, white sandy beach of Ghjunchitu - ideal for swimming and beach games with children. The nearby restaurant Junchidou by the sea and the Paillote Uzbirou are perfect for an evening drink, accompanied by sunset music and a lively atmosphere. A few metres further on, La Vieille Gare offers a wonderful place to dine at sunset. Calvi, just a short drive away, is known for its breathtaking bay with steep cliffs and crystal-clear water. The historic citadel, towering high above the city, offers panoramic views of the coast and a fascinating insight into the island's rich heritage. The lively marina is full of excellent restaurants where you can sample the Corsican delicacies, and offers a vibrant nightlife where you can relax with a drink by the water's edge or dance until late into the night. Just a 10-minute drive away are some of the most beautiful Corsican hilltop villages, such as Pigna, Sant Antonino and Corbara. These places are rich in history and culture and offer panoramic views, religious sites and a peaceful environment. Nearby, you will also find the unique Scandola Marine Reserve, the Agriates Desert and the famous GR20 hiking trail, as well as well-known cycle paths, canyoning spots and natural river baths. Finally, in Ile Rousse, you can explore the lively market where local artisans sell delicious delicacies and an enthusiastic beekeeper offers excellent honey. Treat yourself to a coffee or a drink on the large Place des Marronniers and enjoy the lively game of boules.
