Beautiful and convenient holiday home
Loved the pool, the views, the layout of the house, being able to walk to the quiet beach and into town. Jane was super helpful and friendly too. A great place to stay.

Great Location and well equipped villa
This is the best equipped of the 9 villa properties we have rented in Europe since 2010. It has 4 excellent bathrooms, good a/c and is more than spacious internally. The pool area is excellent with good ares of shade and the property is most convenient for Ajaccio airport and Porticcio with a nearby supermarket, many restaurants and an excellent butcher , baker and fishmonger amongst other shops. In particular we found the Alto Vista an excellent restaurant, Le Club great for coffee and bread and the "posh" butcher excellent if expensive. The fishmonger next to Carrefour is also excellent but v expensive. We felt the property externally needs quite a bit of love and attention to bring it to the same standard as the interior with a wild garden that is rather too wild and attention needed to get the terrace etc into a tidy state but these are relatively small points and could be swiftly remedied if the owner chose to invest in some garden assistance. We also felt the cleaning regime was not clear and we certainly saw little if any of the property manager in the 2 weeks and we had to ask for sheets to be changed at the end of 1 week despite only one of the bedrooms being occupied for the first week!! We felt that a clear written statement of what the cleaner does and does not do in the 2 weeks would have been helpful. Overall this is a very well appointed villa in a very good location with excellent beaches nearby and with a very straightforward connection to the airport; happy to recommend it and with some small attention to detail we felt the property could become an excellent choice...

Lovely spacious family home with great views
We had a lovely stay in Porticcio at Jane's fantastic house. It is very spacious and easily accommodated 8 of us (2 families, each with 2 young children aged 5, 6, 7 and 7). The house feels like a real home rather than a rental property which made it far more appealing than most places. The rooms are nicely kitted out with very comfy beds and en-suite bathrooms (except one room which has a bathroom next door), and the air conditioning is very effective which was a godsend for the nights! The bathrooms are all nicely done and feel clean, whilst the kitchen has everything you need and plenty of the condiments and basics that annoying to have to buy at other rental properties. Outside, the pool area is brilliant - the pool is a nice temperature for the kids to enjoy (maybe slightly warm for the dads but the kids and mums all thought it was perfect!) and the area around the pool provided plenty of space for some cricket (although the garden also provides ample scope for lost balls...!) as well as plenty of shaded areas for lounging. Jane (the owner) is exceptionally responsive and provided all the information that we needed in advance, as well as responding to queries whilst we there. The pool cleaning system broke on one day and she immediately got the repair men out to fix it which was greatly appreciated. Porticcio is great - easy walk down to the beach and the shops (5-10 mins at kids pace) where there are various restaurants and supermarkets (Carrefour is the obvious choice, but there is also a very expensive butchers and fishmonger if you want to splash out - for meat, it is actually better to go to the Spar which is further out of Porticcio as they have a proper butcher on site (compared to Carrefour which wasnt great for meat) selling meat at better prices). Porticcio also has a GP surgery that you can walk into without appointments (also 5 min walk from house) as we unfortunately had to use! There are so many beaches to visit - our favourites were Ruppione and Plage d'Argent. Both have excellent restaurants on the beach for lunch. There are also lots of beach toys in the garage that we were able to borrow so no need to pack buckets and spades in your luggage! All in all, a great place for a holiday that we would heartily recommend and which we hope to return to at some point.

Perfection in Porticcio
Fabulous villa, spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything you could want. The pool is excellent, clean and heated, the outside spaces offer a choice of seating and dining areas. Jane the owner is a pleasure to communicate with, as it is her own island home, and she goes to great lengths to ensure your stay is the best it could be. The town and main beach are within 5 minutes' walk, as is the main Carrefour supermarket. A car isn't essential, but I would recommend one in order to explore other nearby beaches. We particularly enjoyed plage Ruppione, which had a few waves enough for playing in or gentle surfing. The boat navette to Ajaccio is a must, on which you may see dolphins, it's the easy way to visit the town.

About the host

Hosted by jane shepherd

Host profile image
I am a Hospital doctor working in London and living in Oxford. I have 2 teenage children and have spent many holidays in Corsica since 1981. The house was built for me to provide comfortable spacious accomodation for my family and friends. I believe holidays are important 'recharge' time and so everything needs to be organised. My ideal holiday is family based with everyone having enough space to relax in their way. I bought my first house in Porticcio as I was unable to find high quality accomodation to rent. I love cooking and eating! A well planned kitchen and stocked kitchen is essential. The local food is so fresh and tasty that we usually eat in enjoying the view over the bay till late. I also enjoy reading, old films and TV and jigsaw puzzles. So you will find books, DVDs and games.

Why they chose this property

I have visited all the island and chose Porticcio as it is on the outstandingly beautiful bay of Ajaccio and near the airport, which makes the journey so easy. There is a regular 3 times daily ferry service to Ajaccio town. Porticcio is a lively summer resort but also has a local community which prevents it being just about tourism. Outside high summer the restaurants serve the locals and the school children learn to sail on the bay. There are no high rise buildings or big hotels and no parking meters! There are many beautiful beaches within an easy drive. Walking and cycling are also popular. The house overlooks the bay and the twinkling lights at night-simply magical. All facilities are within a short stroll. The villa is your home from home. Check in and check out are flexible depending on your travel arrangements. A welcome food package is provided so when you arrive you can have coffee, tea, breakfast or lunch with wine as you wish. The area has been enjoyed by all age groups. The parents with small children enjoy the soft sand beaches, quite afternoon siestas for the little ones and long lazy suppers after bedtime, teens can stroll to the beach and enjoy the large array of water sports, and grown ups of all ages can do their own thing with great food, wine and scenery.

What makes this property unique

The villa is new and has a large garden with a beautiful heated outdoor pool. The pool in the summer is usually 28ºC at a minimum. It has been well designed and built to modern standards with double glazing and shutters to keep cool in summer and warm in winter. The living and bedroom areas have both air conditioning and ceiling fans. Everything is within an easy walk which is great as no-one has to be the driver after a long beach side evening meal.
Please note that I do not agree rentals until we have has direct communication, so expect a phone call.
