Lake House with Amazing Views and Salt Water Swimming Pool in Corsica

We (6 people plus dog) enjoyed a most relaxing week at Michala’s holiday home with pool. It is set in the most beautiful surrounding with a breathtaking view of the mountains, the lake and with no immediate neighbours. Michala is most prompt to respond and a great host. We had a great time and did not want to leave.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house at the end of May. It is well equipped with everything we needed and exactly as described. Our three kids (9, 12, 14 years old) loved playing in the pool and in the big garden. We enjoyed the stunning, breath taking view over the lake and the quietness and peace of the place. The big Veranda is absolutely perfect and was our favourite place to eat, relax and enjoy a glas of rose wine from Domaine de Marquiliani, a charming winery nearby. Michala is very welcoming, always reachable and she provides us with Information about great places to go in the region. We will come again.

My wife and I spent a week over half term with our two daughters here and had the best vacation of our lives! We were literally mesmerised by the view each morning and evening and spent more time in the villa enjoying the tranquility than I would have expected, although we did go to the beach every day and enjoyed the great restaurants. Check in and out were very easy and the owner Michala was very helpful and responsive. We are already looking at dates to go back!

The serene setting of this house on a large plot of land by a lake, with the mountains in the background, makes it something very special. Everything is lovingly decorated and furnished, and there is nothing missing (there is even a piano, but my husband could not be persuaded to play it...). The pool is lovely, and although it is not far to the beach (ten minutes by car), we spent several afternoons reading and sun-bathing in the large garden. Unfortunately, during our stay in Corsica, there was a heavy thunderstorm with a whole-day power cut in several tens of thousands of households. A big thank you goes to our host Michala who gave us great support by phone, SMS and with local help. Right from the very first interaction, Michala was incredibly helpful with local tips and you can tell that she really cares about her guests. Our stay was very relaxed, with beautiful evenings on the terrace outside the house.

We had a really nice week, a lot to see on the island and a really beautiful house and stunning view.

Beautiful quiet place and super position in Corsica

This is quite simply the most amazing place to stay. The view is breathtaking and the peace is perfect. The frog chorus is a constant and the cuckoo has been heard all week. We don’t want to go home! This is a very magical place. Thank you for letting us share a moment of tranquility x

We loved the spectacular view, the big garden with a great view and the lovely decorated house and terrace which made us feel like home away from home instantly. A car is definitely required. Thank you Michala for the helpful and nice contact and for sharing this place with our family and dog who liked the place as much as we did. Hope to come back soon!

The house, gardens and terrace are as gorgeous as the photo's suggest. The terrace is where we spent the most time, lazing in the shade. It’s a 3 bed property, but there are enough reception rooms that groups could comfortably stay together and enjoy their own space. The swimming pool is the real cherry on the cake. Overlooking the spectacular lake with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains that just cannot be captured in photographs. The pool was a great temperature during our 9 day stay in the middle of June ’18 (we often find other unheated villa pools so cold, but this was perfect, perhaps as it’s not too deep). It’s deep enough to jump in and swim lengths ‘chest deep’ on my husband, but has the very reassuring safety features of a pool alarm and foot ledges running along the inside for less-able little swimmers. A car is essential as it’s in a charming, rural spot. The setting is as private as it comes and incredibly peaceful. There is a road set back behind the property but it’s only used infrequently and goes unnoticed and the lake feels like it’s there just for you, with no one else around bar the horses in the distance gathered at the bank for a drink. You’re a short drive from the supermarche, beaches, shops and restaurants of Aleria or you are well based to travel a little further and explore waterfalls or take boat trips etc. The real treasures of this property are the owners. You entrust your precious annual holiday to strangers, hoping that they will take care of you - and these owners didn’t disappoint. Every communication was a genuine pleasure (of which there were many, as I’m a total chatterbox). They have the most beautifully sweet property (Air con would have been a bonus as us Brits aren’t acclimatised to warm weather, but the fans helped keep the night-time heat at bay). I’m incredibly grateful that my family got to experience it and hope to return. We are a family of 3 who have very high expectations for our one precious holiday a year. My husband has a stressful career and I’m a 24/7 carer for our daughter with complex medical needs. Sometimes high-end villas feel too precious like you can’t touch anything, or other times like you’re staying in someone else’s home with all of their possessions. That is not the case here. We like a home from home feeling, peaceful surrounding, no neighbours, light, space and a good Wifi connection. The lakehouse met all of our requirements in spades! The Millward family highly recommend.

Cozy but stylish and welcoming house with a great location in the center of Corsica. Great views over the lake towards the mountains with a pool and only 5 km from the beach. Spent the nights on the patio enjoying the local rose wine and stargazing. Can’t wait to come back! Perfect place for a perfect holiday.
