The mountains of southern Corsica are dotted with sturdy, stone-built sheep folds, bergeries, that once provided protection for shepherds and their flocks, and Casonu is a nostalgic, loving ode to this age-old architectural form. Designed with contemporary comforts in mind but entirely in-keeping with local heritage, it is a masterclass in how to combine reclaimed materials, traditional know-how, and superior craftsmanship to create an elegiac and evocative home for the 21st century.

Casonu's gorgeous pool terrace with the stone-flagged house rising above.

Spellbinding views, a tempting heatable pool, a sitting area, and a shady al fresco dining area - all you could need.

The shady dining area by the pool is served by a plancha grill, workspace and a sink.

A detail of the beautifully designed kitchen with its wavy barrel-vaulted ceiling.

With views like this from the kitchen sink, washing up is never a chore at Casonu.
