Our first holiday to Corsica – and the very wonderful Villa Zen
Villa Zen has provided us (two grandparents, two parents and a two-year-old child) with a truly superb holiday. This was our first holiday to Corsica, and we could not have chosen a better base.
Our welcome and introduction to the property from Mme. Malet was wonderful – she is a real asset.
The house itself seems totally new. Everything is in immaculate condition, cleaned and maintained to the highest standards. The safety gates at the top of the stairs inside and outside the house – plus the excellent cover for the swimming pool – were very reassuring when you have an active child enjoying everything on offer.
The gardens are really attractive, but now have even more plants and shrubs than shown in the photos. The pool area is magnificent, beautifully tiled with several chairs and loungers – but also with lots of shade available from the four large parasols and under the tree beside the pool.
The 50-minute drive from Figari airport is very pleasant, and we made good use of the Spar supermarket (with butcher) on the road to Solenzara. The local beaches are lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed looking out to sea with coffees and ice-creams at La Siesta in Favone and Hotel Le Pinarello. (There’s an excellent health centre (Cabinet Medical) at Sainte-Lucie should you have any emergency needs.)
In conclusion we feel very fortunate to have had the privilege of staying in Villa Zen, and sincerely hope that we will be able to return – preferably for two weeks!
