The house of vanishing walls
Immersed in a veritable oasis of vibrant Corsican greenery, and just a lazy stroll from a nigh-deserted sandy beach, Sintineddu is a pure white contemporary home where magical geometrical forms play tricks on the eye, and the lines between indoor and outdoor living are blurred to the point of vanishing. Sea views and manicured gardens open up on one side, while on the other, a perfect 'yin' to the 'yang' of the former, a shaded, hush-hush al fresco area cocoons guests in an atmosphere of exquisite seclusion.

Sintineddu sits on a little beach-flanked promontory on the south coast of Corsica, just over 20km northwest from Bonifacio. This section of the coast is characterised by a series of little coves and bays, many of which have lovely little sandy beaches.
A must-see for anyone staying at Sintineddu 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 some good restaurants and bars.
Less than an hour's drive northwest is the panoramically positioned, mediaeval 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.
From the Guest Book
Sinteneddu is a lovely house in an incredible position. Being able to walk down to the little beach was great. The villa staff were lovely as was the cook, whose meals were a real treat. Our first trip to Corsica and what a wonderful place it is, lots to see and do and the beaches must be some of the best in the world.

Our experience at Sintineddu exceeded expectations and was truly magical. We fell in love with Corsica, only enhanced by our villa experience and our local specialist. The villa was beautifully laid out, the kitchen very well equipped, and the bedrooms with ensuite baths very comfortable. The villa staff who came in daily could not have been nicer, more charming, and very accommodating. This was out first villa experience with The Thinking Traveller and it was a home run and one we will like to repeat.

If you're looking for a home away from home, you'll find it at Sintineddu. The location, the view, the service - hard to be topped. Excellence beyond expectations.

Sintineddu is in a very quiet location and has exceptional views. We loved the spacious living areas and accessibility to the coast and beaches. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked for catering. The Thinking Traveller's team did a thorough job understanding our needs with three generations of family to cater for and were very informative about local attractions and beaches.
