Villa Lumio
LUMIO, CORSICA, FRANCE
4 BR | 1 BA | SLEEPS 6
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.
We love the slide-away walls that open the house up completely for spectacular views of the mountains, the bay, and the village below.
Sheltered into beautifully imposing rock formations and with far off south facing views of the Corsican countryside and bay beyond, this house integrates thoroughly within the rugged landscape and manages to be both chic and rustic.
The clean modern structural lines and earth tones blend seamlessly into the hillside in this architectural gem surrounded by lovely gardens, oak, fig, and olive groves. The large living area slides away completely on two opposing sides creating a vast indoor-outdoor space that allows nature in. The atypical layout is an inspired design and creates a fantastic open-air habitat that is fresh and inviting.
With lightly polished concrete floors, floor-length windows throughout, and an inspired melange of carefully selected and curated decor and furnishings, this home has been lovingly composed inside and out. From the owner's own art to the assortment of distinctive objets d'art, you will find a stunningly unique collection that is spirited and modern.

Located on the northwest coast of the island within the Corsica Regional Park, the UNESCO designated Scandola Nature Reserve on the Cape Girolata Peninsula covers over 900 hectares of land and over 1,000 acres of marine habitat. A breathtaking stretch of coastline, it can only be reached by boat or, for the very adventurous, on foot through steep mountainous terrain. Populated with a vibrant array of marine life and sea birds, its jagged rock formations, caves and crystal clear waters are some of the most beautiful natural wonders on the island.
