The simple concrete architecture and unique personality of this home are inspiring and refreshingly modern. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with art from around the world including the owner's, there is a marvelous mix of casual elegance and contemporary living.

This villa overlooking the Gulf of Valinco in Corsica is a great combination of elegant contemporary design and amazing location. But it's the outdoor living space that really stands out. Set between the verdant Corsican coastline and rugged mountains, this villa offers breathtaking views - and the best way to take them in is from the luxury of the vast infinity pool.

Architects Jennie and Jerker Edfast are members of one of Sweden's largest firms but have developed this vacation home rental in Corsica as a more personal project and island getaway.

This striking contemporary villa is located on the east coast of Corsica, just a few steps from the beach. The doors of the living room open onto a vast, paved terrace that spills onto the sand. There's a hammock in the shade of a pine tree, a court for playing petanque, a heated spa with a tide system, and lovely views across to the island of Monte Cristo.
