Before we dive into the details, could you briefly introduce yourself?

We are a family of four from the Valinco region in Corsica, where we still live. I’m Angélique, 44 years old, my husband Frédérick is 48, and we have two daughters: Julia, 20, and Elea, 17.

We would love to share a bit about you as a person with our customers. Would you like to tell us more about yourself?

My husband is a pharmacist and our daughters are currently in college. As a family, we’re very sporty — we love hiking, which is perfect because Corsica is full of magnificent trails. We’re also quite handy; we’ve taken on many DIY projects around the house together, with the girls often lending a hand.

When and in what way did this property come into your life and what motivated you to make it a part of your life?

I used to go running in the area, and I would often pass by this ruin that always caught my attention. I felt a strong connection to it. So when the opportunity finally arose to buy it, we didn’t hesitate — even though it was a huge undertaking. There was no road, no water, no electricity… but we jumped in headfirst.

Can you tell us more about the process of renovating and furnishing your property?

We designed everything ourselves, step by step. The priority was always to preserve the spirit of the original ruin. It was as if the house itself guided us through the process of bringing it back to life.

On a personal level, what makes your property truly special for you? Any standout memories or moments that make it dear to your heart?

Absolutely — one of the most memorable moments was when we installed the first fence posts with our daughters. That was the moment we truly felt like owners. We were finally marking out our one-hectare plot, by hand — not a small task!

How would you describe the atmosphere and interior of your property?

The guiding theme in the decor was to create a connection between past and present. Most importantly, we wanted it to feel like a true getaway — a place where you can fully relax and switch off.

Which part of your property do you love the most, and why?

Definitely the terrace at breakfast time — with its view over the valley and the sea, and the peaceful silence of the morning, interrupted only by birdsong.

What makes the location where your accommodation is located unique and special?

The property is perched on a hill, which gives it a majestic feel. It faces the sea and is surrounded by vineyards and the Corsican maquis. It’s simply peaceful — a little corner of paradise.

Are there any sustainable or eco-friendly applications associated with your property that you are proud of?

Yes, we’re proud to maintain a vegetable garden, we use filtered water from a borehole, we follow an anti-waste policy especially regarding towels, and we encourage selective sorting of waste.

What motivated or inspired you to rent your property to guests?

We wanted to share this place of peace and disconnection. It gives people the sense of being completely alone in the world — while actually just five minutes by car from the town of Propriano.

Can you paint a vivid picture of the overall experience someone can expect when staying at your property?

It’s about reconnecting with nature, while still enjoying all the modern comforts — a gym, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, even a delivery service.

In what ways does your property stand out from others? What unique features or characteristics make it a one-of-a-kind experience for guests?

That constant sense of space, the 360-degree view, and a real sense of well-being. Your neighbors? Cows, sheep, almond trees, maquis, vineyards, and the sea.

Can you share the best compliment you've received from a guest?

"The adventure begins the moment the gate opens. A few seconds’ pause facing the neighboring vineyards before driving up to this old stone house, which suddenly reveals itself… Bam — a creative and architectural leap, where nothing is out of place. Everything is in harmony, designed to immerse you in absolute comfort, escape, emotion, and experience. All around, stunning landscapes with a Tuscan feel and a sweeping view of the sea. The hosts are attentive and passionate. It’s simple and exceptional at the same time. A place that does good — so much good. Thank you for everything."

What do you hope guests will take away or remember most from their stay in your accommodation?
