Casa Kallisté is a charming, detached house located in the village of Farinole, 15 minutes’ drive north of St Florent, offering highly attractive accommodation coupled with exceptional views over the church to the glistening sea – the setting is just divine!  Don’t miss out on this gem of a property for what will be a truly memorable holiday.
 
A small road winds its way up the hillside from the Marine de Farinole to the sleepy village itself. Casa Kallisté is found at the end of a fairly steep driveway with a few neighbouring properties, all of which are occupied by locals. The interior of the property has been tastefully renovated and has an elegant classical feel with hand-crafted ceramic tiles adorning the floors and a chandelier in the dining room. Pastel-coloured walls, a modern kitchen and a contemporary shower room add to the overall appeal
 
The trump card of this lovely house has to be its enclosed terrace and garden, a delightful spot which affords a good degree of privacy thanks to a couple of olive trees, myrtle bushes, a clementine tree, a palm tree and a beautiful flowering bougainvillea. The glorious sea views are inescapable and, from most of the rooms in the house, one is treated to the most wonderful outlook and breathtaking sunsets!

In the area: The Cap Corse region of Corsica is spectacular, with many tiny villages clinging to the rugged landscape. A short drive up the coast will bring you to Nonza, perched on the cliff edge, which has a few restaurants but most notably the remains of a Genoese tower, instantly recognisable as you approach the village. Beautiful St Florent, often referred to as le petit St Tropez, lies some 12km to the south. This chic little port plays host to the French & Italian jet set throughout the summer and a gentle stroll past the yachts lining the quayside, after a meal in one of the fantastic seafood restaurants, is a great way to wind down.
