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.
The predominant theme of the building itself is white. It was designed by Paris-based architect Vincent Leprince, and its interiors are by Eric Sanchez, from the Corsican town of Basti. We love its simple, almost sculptural exterior, and its expanse of bright space inside.

This house is secluded but also well situated for exploring the island of Corsica. On the east coast of the island in Taglio-Isolaccio, Haute Corse, it's seconds from the beach. If you drive north, you'll find yourself on the tip of the island, in the Cap Corse, which has breathtaking scenery.
Also recommended are road trips to the famous torrents of Corte (50km), Porto Vecchio, with its white, sandy beaches (80km), and the cliffs of Bonifaccio (100km).
