Superb 5* family Villa for up to10 people

We stayed in Ajaccio in June 2023. The villa is spacious and was ideal for our group of seven adults. Beautiful weather and warm temperatures meant that eating outside was routine. Very good, clean pool, that we used a lot. Excellent views of the sea and coast. It was useful to be just a short distance out of Ajaccio. Quieter and still convenient to get into the city. Multi-level villa with airconditioning in most of the bedrooms. Fans in the very large lounge. Well appointed generally with a great charcoal barbeque. Rubbish collection at the gate but recycling needs to go down the road to the bins. All in all an excellent location from which to explore the whole region.

We had a fanstastic time at this spacious and wonderful villa. Everything is exactly as described. You can walk to the beach and enjoy swimming at a nice sandy beach bay. Also the swimming pool is terrific. Sitting on the veranda and enjoying the absolut magnificent view is also an good option to relax. Sheila is a very helpful, approachable and kind landlady.

Very easy ..

This is undoubtedly the best villa we have stayed in for a family holiday. The house is minutes from a sandy beach with boats, boards and kayaks for hire and beach cafes for food and refreshment. The villa is on a slope and the views over the trees to the sea are stunning. At the back the gardens are terraced while in front there are well maintained lawns and flower beds. You can swim in the pool, laze under one of the large umbrellas or cook on the barbecue. We also enjoyed taking the bus along the coast into the interesting town of Ajaccio. The house is very well furnished, comfortable and generously equipped with everything you could want for a holiday. Alba Marina a lovely place to stay.

This is a beautiful sea side house, just walk two minutes across the street to the beach. We loved how much space there was both inside and outside the house. Our children loved the gardens and the pool, and we enjoyed cooking on the grill or in the kitchen and then eating on the terrace. We would definitely stay here again! Notes: Steep parking for a few cars, on a busy street that makes it easy to drive to town or hiking, and lots of stairs to get in and out of the house, as well as throughout the house.

Almost thirty years ago we toured Corsica with our daughters and fell in love with Ajaccio and its bay. We’ve always talked about returning, and in the summer of 2016 were finally able to visit again, this time with additional family members and grandchildren, in total 10 people aged 5 to 70. We had spent some time on the Internet searching for the perfect location and had high expectations as we arrived at the Alba Marina villa. We were not let down! The house is ideally located with a magnificent view of the beach, the blue ocean and the far coast of the bay. The garden is green and well kept, and the children were delighted to find two tortoises living there! The pool was ideal for a morning swim and in constant use by the kids when we were “home”. The house itself was ideal for our large family, with bed rooms on five(!) different levels, all with separate bath rooms, and a large and airy living room where everybody could relax without feeling crowded. We loved the outside table area where we had all our meals in a nicely shadowed corner. We found the place clean and in spotless condition, and everything was as Mme. Smertnik had promised! In addition to enjoying the villa, its nearby beach and immediate surroundings, we can highly recommend the wide and sunny beaches on other side of the peninsula, just 15 minutes by car up the first left on the road back to Ajaccio. We also enjoyed the city itself with its market and sea front, and excursions by car up and down the coast, even going down to Bonifacio for a spectacular city and landscape, and a final trip across the internal mountain range to Bastia. We can really recommend the villa and Corsica itself for an unforgettable and different holiday!

We have spent two wonderful weeks with our family including our two young sons in this stunning villa. Alongside of being tastefully decorated, the place is well equipped with everything to make a holiday free of inconveniences. As many travellers with young children we tend to be more demanding, and our requests for a pool fence and travel cots were happily met. We found the location of the villa excellent as it sits right on top of a sandy beach with the most charming and relaxed beach café La Goelland and there are two wonderful sea food restaurants within a short beach (or road if preferred) walk - Dolce Vita (3 min) and Le weekend (7 min). The bus stop is conveniently located 1 min walk away form the house. Unless on strike the public transport system works well in Ajaccio, an air conditioned bus would take us to the central square in Ajaccio within 25 minutes. I would definitely recommend this place and hoping to come back ourselves.

Beautiful house! Perfect for our group of 10 people! Fantastic location by the sea including facilities on the beach as well as nice restaurants nearby. No need for us to travel into the city. Everything in place at site! And of course the island is beautiful as well. We did golf and hiking as well as a full day boat trip to the nearby islands.

I would highly recommend this villa to anyone! It is a beautiful place, close to the sea and a very nice beach. We were 10 friends together and it was perfect for us. Ajaccio is easy to access but no need for that actually because you have all you need at site. And if you want to eat at a nice restaurant there is several places nearby all of them with beautiful seaview. Le Dolce Vita in particular. I would love to come back.

A really lovely spot. The villa is cool and spacious and just as described on the website. Inside and out it is very tastefully appointed with everything you could need, but the best part was probably the wonderful location with tropical views towards the distant mountains across the bay. After a couple of days we felt like a different group of people! It is right by a sandy, crystal clear water beach dotted with a few restaurants and set just enough steps up from the road that you're not on top of traffic. It was actually difficult to leave the villa in the beginning during the day as it's such a great spot to relax in but once you do it's an easy bus ride to Ajaccio and the lovely market by the port. Would definitely recommend.
