BASTIA, Corsica, Address available on request

On the east side of Cap Corse and one hour from Bastia, a renovated village house with sea views. Resulting from the enlargement of a modest former agricultural stone building from the 19th century, the house has two storeys built over a ground floor, supplemented with two outside patios, a balcony and a roof terrace. During its expansion, two floors were added and connected by a solid wooden staircase, while from the second floor, a spiral staircase provides access to a roof terrace with a 360° view of the landscape. The roof, although recent, blends, through its shape and materials, with the hamlet's traditional rooftops, made up of slabs of local slate.
The façades, more understated, are mostly covered in pink ochre plaster and punctuated with straight windows protected by metal guardrails and brown painted shutters.
The dwelling is bordered by a rocky garden of succulents and cacti, which vertically runs along the entire length of the western part of the house. The views differ at each level, with windows either facing the coast and the island of Capraia or the verdant scrubland.
