This is one of the island's few true architectural gems, a contemporary classic built on a slope just above the road to Palombaggia beach. The air-conditioned, low-slung villa has a vast, white, open-plan living/dining room with a graceful conical fireplace suspended from the ceiling, gleaming parquet floors and plush chocolate-brown sofas. Sliding glass doors lead onto a red-cedar deck, a dazzling infinity pool and a small state-of-the-art gym with a hammam. The kitchen is
big enough for parties, with an adjacent covered poolside patio and outdoor wood-burning oven. There are three stylish double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a private terrace, and
one twin-bedded room, all with en-suite bath or shower room. The superb gastronomic restaurant at Casadelmar hotel is a five-minute stroll down the road; lively Porto-Vecchio a 10-minute drive.
