Beautiful Vistas, Quiet Escape

Enjoyed everything this villa had to offer from the view, to the beach (within walking distance), to the pool, to friendly people and the nearby eateries. This offered us and our friends a relaxing get away that enabled us to explore everything Corse has to offer. We hiked, we drank, we lounged, and most of all we ejoyed! I was a memorable vacation. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great experience on this beautiful island.

Wonderful Corsican getaway!

Everything about our stay was excellent. The home was well appointed with plenty of dishes and utensils to cook meals in. In case we didn't want to eat in, Adele made sure we knew right where the best restaurants and hot spots were. Moules e frites!! There was plenty of space in the home and we enjoyed walking out from our downstairs bedroom right into the pool. The views were absolutely incredible and this is what we'll keep with us until we return. Which we hope to do very soon! Thank you for everything.

Great House - Excellent Location

For the most wonderful sunsets from your terrace and breathtaking views over the bay of Ajaccio, this is the place to go. A well equipped house with lots of privacy and space to make everybody comfortable, but the terrace is the place to be. The description of the house is very accurate and the additional information provided by Adele covers any question you may have on the house and the surrounding neighborhood.

The Portigilio area is less touristy than the more acclaimed east coast of Corsica between Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio and you still can find some very remote and most wonderful beaches within a short driving distance. We found the beach in front of the house OK but preferred the short drive to Plage d'argent or Calla D'Orzo which are probably among the best beaches you can find in Corsica with great restaurants.

Overall we had a great stay and certainly plan to come back in the future.

Awesome stay in Corsica

Spectacular villa just off a secluded cove in Corsica. The six of us loved our stay in this great home. Beautiful pool. Stunning views across the bay to Ajaccio. 2 min walk to a wonderful beach and restaurant. Highly recommend.

We will be back!!

In August of 2013 my girlfriend and I with 2 other couples and 2 children luckily found this amazing villa on the island of Corsica. The views displayed on-line were amazing but do not due the actual views justice. Truly fabulous!! Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Bay of Ajaccio with the City of Ajaccio in the distance started everyday. We started most evenings on the terrace with cocktails and an incredible sunset. The local beach which was only a 5 minute walk from the villa kept all of us close to home for the first couple of days. We all loved it. The information guide supplied by Adele gave us many options and after the first 2 days we explored a number of local beaches and restaurants within short driving distance; each one was very different. My 2 teen children loved that they could walk to the local beach on their own, eat at the local pizzeria and rent sea kayaks all within sight of the villa. The villa itself was wonderful from the pool, terraces, bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen and grounds! The 2 weeks just flew by and we intend on returning and will definitely rent U Castellu as our base for further exploring this hidden gem of an island.

Très belle et spacieuse villa très bien située

Nous avons adoré notre séjour en famille dans cette très belle et très spacieuse villa.

Nous étions nombreux mais le séjour y a été très agréable car le jardin, la villa et la terrasse sont très agréables.

Certaines chambres donnent directement sur la piscine.

La mer et toute proche à pied, mais nous avons aussi apprécié la piscine.

Une grande terrasse qui nous a permit de profité des magnifiques couches de soleil et d'y prendre nos repas.

Nous avons aussi pu nous promener dans toute l'île car idéalement situé et les petites routes environnantes sont magnifiques.

Tennis et restaurant à proximité.

Que dire de plus, sinon que nous retournerons avec un grand plaisir.

Stunning views - highly recommended

8 adults and 4 children stayed comfortably at U Castellu. Large and well-kept house with a stunning view of the Mediterranean. Great pool area.

Pros:

Fantastic location, sourroundings and views

Relaxing garden and pool area (the artificial lawn is a big plus though we were sceptical at first)

Well-equipped kitchen and barbecue area

Wi-fi included

Easy to deal with proprietor, straight business

Cons:

Some furnishing in need of an upgrade soon, but no big issue

Fantastic house with wonderful views and amenities

What a Lovely house. We had a wonderful week and were sad to leave. It was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet away from any resorts. The kids especially enjoyed hiring kayaks on the beach and naturally the pool. We would love to come back another time and no doubt will be getting in contact again. Thanks once again.

Fantastic place :-)

This is now the last day on Corsica for this time, but we are sure we will come back. We have all enjoyed it so much here. Portigliolo and U Castellu is simply fantastic. Everything has been working perfect and the house has fully lived up to our expectations.

We have been using the pool, swimming and snorkling in the sea and cycling in the hills around Portigliolo. We also visited Iles Sanguinaires and tried canyoning in La Richiusa.

We can only recommend this place :-)

Each time back it just gets better

Fantastic vacation. The villa was everything you could expect. Amenities, views etc. all incredible. All information supplied by the owner was accurate and very helpful. This was our second stay at U Castellu and the fact that we will return again is a true testament to the quality of the property. Since our first stay in 2013 much of the outdoor furniture has been replaced with new. There is no shortage of attention to detail at his property. From the local beach, five minute walk from villa, to 1/2 and day trips to beaches along the coast the island never disappoints.
