Villa Tips

 

Walk to Occi

Walk to the abandoned village of Occi, an hour's circular walk from Lumio village. The village was deserted when the water dried up but the view from the top is amazing and the spot very atmospheric. 

Strada di l'Artigiani

The fortress villages of the Haute-Balagne perched high above the sea and surrounded by terraces that produced olives, wine and figs together with plentiful citrus groves are some of the most picturesque on the island.  Backed by the dramatic mountain landscapes, many of the villages are nearly a thousand years old.  Follow the Strada di L’Artigiani, the Artisans route; a craft trail where you can visit workshops and buy the wares of the local artists.

Arinella Plage

The beach at Arinella (Lumio) is coarse sand so not ideal for sandcastles (for that go to Calvi) but the view across the bay to Calvi is superb. Ideal for paddling with a few rocks creating sheltered areas. You may even see the Foreign Legion parachute over the Bay

Villa Description

Just below the village of Lumio lies Villa U Granu a charming, traditional property. The beauty of the villa lies in its spacious, peaceful surroundings and, from the garden and the roof terrace, the view of Calvi Citadel accross the bay is sublime. The garden is lawned with a distinctly Mediterranean flavour planted with palms, jasmine, oleander and a beautiful bougainvillea that trails over a pergola shading the terrace – the grounds are truly stunning and there is plenty of space for children to run around. Homely and sometimes a little quirky, the villa is comfortable and spacious with ample room to relax in. The open plan living areas are particularly spacious, comprising a television/study corner with an assortment of books and a large lounge/dining area from where an open staircase leads to the upper floor. A variety of ornaments collected from the owner's travels are scattered on tables and paintings adorn the walls throughout the ground floor of the villa, giving U Granu an eclectic and somewhat bohemian style. French doors lead to the large terrace complete with teak table and chairs and on the other side of the house, other doors lead onto the barbecue area. Just a 5 minute drive from Lumio's Arinella plage with its small sandy coves and beach restaurant, and within easy reach of Calvi, U Granu is a favourite with couples and families.
