Hidden amidst the aromatic maquis of Corsica’s southern coast, I Bruzzi is a discreet, reflective ode to the beauty that surrounds it. Wood clads its low-rise walls, decks its pool area and shades its terraces, enveloping the whole in a geometric ligneous camouflage.

The Area

I Bruzzi looks out over the lovely sandy beaches and sheltered bays of Corsica's south coast, near Pianottoli. The nearest beach is an easily walkable 650m away. About 20km to the southeast is Bonifacio, one of Corsica's most dramatically positioned and picturesque towns. Teetering perilously on a high cliff above the sea it offers sublime views over to Sardinia and a great selection of restaurants and bars.

Less than an hour's drive northwest is the panoramically positioned, medieval town of Sartène, whose pretty labyrinth of streets gives an idea of Corsican life away from the coastline.

Heading up the east coast one comes to a series of delightful beaches, including those of Santa Giulia, Tamaricciu and Palombaggia, and Porto Vecchio, another of Corsica's many charming towns offering a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants and a nice old town centre looking over the large natural harbour.

Further afield on the west coast is the island's capital, Ajaccio, which is well worth a visit, not least so you can say that you've been to the birthplace of the great Napoleon.

An illustration of a guest book

Staff and owners of I Bruzzi were friendly and accommodating - all of them. The vegetables and fruit from their garden was most welcome, and appreciated.

Mr Adrian Chalk , United States of America August 2022

I Bruzzi was a stunning property in a fantastic setting.

5 out of 5 for I Bruzzi.

Verified guest, June 2022

We had an amazing time at I Bruzzi. There are lots of things that made this trip a memorable one. The villa is outstanding, everything was of great quality, a great accommodation with comfortable beds. The hamper was full of delicious local items and we very much enjoyed cooking at such a well-equipped kitchen and dining al fresco with the candles on the table, good wine and food. We felt privileged to have the peaceful Chevanu beach just a few minutes’ walk away from the villa, a perfect spot for picnics and snorkelling, we travelled in September and at times, somehow it felt as if we were in the Caribbean! The local staff were unobtrusive and most helpful at all times.

AM, United Kingdom December 2019

Overall I Bruzzi is very good, as is the local beach.

Mr Mariano Camdessus, Argentina August 2019

To summarise our overall experience: we would move to Corsica in a flash if we were to choose a destination for its stunning scenery, and tranquility, quality of life. We couldn’t ask for more!
