Villa Caramontinu SERENA with views, comfort near beach
Villa Caramontinu Serena — Views, Comfort & the Art of Corsican Living
5 bedrooms · Up to 13 guests · Heated pool · Sea & mountain views · Sainte-Lucie de Porto-Vecchio
Welcome to Serena
Serena is our first villa — the one that grew alongside our children. We designed it so that families with young children could truly unwind: a fully fenced 2,500m² garden, a pool secured with a roller shutter cover, bunk beds in the children's dormitory, a large fully equipped kitchen for group meals... everything is here. And because parents deserve to breathe too, two private parental suites with en-suite bathrooms are waiting for you.
Serena sleeps up to 13 guests across 3 levels, with all 5 bedrooms accessible from inside the villa — a real comfort for families, day and night.
A dedicated concierge service is available throughout your stay to make everything effortless.
What makes Serena exceptional
🌊 Sea & mountain views — The top-floor master suite offers a breathtaking panorama over Pinarello Bay. The living spaces and pool terrace open onto the Alta Rocca mountains — a view you will never tire of.
🏊 Heated pool — 10.5×4m — One of the largest private pools in the area, secured with a roller shutter cover and heated at the beginning and end of the season.
🏡 All bedrooms accessible from inside — A genuine comfort for families with young children, at any hour of the day or night.
🌿 2,500m² of fully fenced garden — A landscaped Mediterranean garden planted with local species, entirely enclosed — perfect for letting children play freely and safely.
📍 Ideal location — 1.5km from the beach, 3 minutes from local shops, 40km from Figari airport.
Note: Access to the villa through a hilly and dusty road, avoid too low / sports cars.

We had a great time with two families staying in that villa. The house has a great standard and is very charming. Everything is built very solid and with a lot of thought on finding a good balance between practicality and design. It does come also with a lovely atmosphere that we felt at home very easily.

Many thanks for staying at Villa Caramontinu. We’re glad you enjoyed tour stay!
Together with another family we stayed two weeks in this great property with multiple scenic views. Check-in was very welcoming, Frédéric, the concierge showed us all the details of the house. The master bedroom is the highlight of all the room as it gives perfect view to the beach of Pinarello and on the other side the boule-place is perfect for watching the sundowner in the mountains. The enire equipment was working perfectly, one aircondition had once an issue, but it was solved immediately. The bed-rooms are on three levels giving plenty of space for all. Even our mountainbikes were securely stored in the garage. The beach La Source is very close and from there you can walk the entire beach of Pinarello.
All in all a perfect holiday for two families with adolescent childre, thank you Frédéric and Marie for two fabolous weeks.

Many thanks for your stay Marc, we are happy that you spent a nice time at our villa and in Pinarello. We had indeed a few fix during your stay and we are sorry to have disturbed you for that necessary repair! Hope to see you again!
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in dieser traumhaften Villa und können sie uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Die Unterkunft ist geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Besonders beeindruckt haben uns die atemberaubende Aussicht und der schöne Pool, an dem wir viele entspannte Stunden verbracht haben. Für Familien mit Kindern ist die Villa perfekt geeignet und bietet alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr, sehr gerne wieder!

Many thanks for your stay! We were very happy to welcome you and we really appreciate that you enjoyed your stay! It is always a pleasure when our guests share the same feelings as ours regarding our villa where we have so many memories! Have a safe travel back and happy to welcome you again!
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille dans cette maison en Corse du Sud. La maison était très propre et la literie confortable, ce qui a rendu notre séjour agréable. L’emplacement est pratique, proche des plages et des commodités, et l’accueil a été simple et efficace. Seul petit point à améliorer : l’entretien des extérieurs et les abords de la piscine pourraient être davantage soignés. Cela reste une belle adresse que nous recommandons.
Tolles Haus mit wunderschönen Ausblick aufs Meer und die Berge!
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in der Villa! Das Haus ist sehr großzügig gebaut und sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Durch die großen Fensterfronten und die zwei Balkone hat man einen beeindruckenden Blick aufs Meer und ins korsische Inland. Der Pool und das Außengelände ist superschön angelegt. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Auf jeden Fall können wir dieses Haus sehr empfehlen- super für zwei - drei Familien mit Kindern geeignet.

Many thanks Larissa for staying with us! We are very happy to hear you spent a great time at Villa Caramontinu! Very happy to welcome you again !
Wir waren 8 Erwachsene und ein Hund in der Villa Caramontinu und waren begeistert. Jedes einzelne Zimmer ist liebevoll aber auch modern eingerichtet. Das Wohnzimmer ist sehr schön wurde aber nicht genutzt da man bei dem tollen Wetter lieber auf einer der beiden Terrassenplätze verweilt. Tagsüber waren wir am Pool und abends auf der Seitenterrasse mit Ausblick auf das Meer. Das wichtigste bei einem Urlaub mit Selbstverpflegung und einer größeren Zahl an Personen ist die Küche und diese lässt sich definitiv sehen. Es sind alle erdenklichen Utensilien vorhanden Mixer, Toast etc. zwei Kühlschränke (wir haben einen für Lebensmittel und einen für Getränke genutzt). Die Kommunikation mit Marie und später mit Frederic war hervorragend und immer Hilfsbereit. Bei der Lage gibt es lediglich einen Stern Abzug da der Steile und vorher Steinige Weg zur Villa nicht erwähnt wird, also mit einem kleiner oder untermotorisiertem Fahrzeug ist dieser nicht zu empfehlen :)

Hello Arcan, thanks for your stay! We are very happy you liked it. We indeed thought the equipment for large groups and the villa os designed for that. You’re right to mention the access as there is a price to pay to get the view at the top of the hill :) This is mentioned but may be not enough. Happy to welcome you again whenever you want! Kind regards
Schönes Haus über 3 Etagen mit Aussicht, Pool und Klimaanlage
Wir waren zu Viert für eine Woche in diesem schönen Haus und haben es sehr genossen! Man merkt dass die Eigentümer selber oft vor Ort ihren Urlaub genießen.
Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld mit Marie war gut und Frederic hat vor Ort alles im Griff.
Allein die letzten 300m bis zum Haus führen über einen Feldweg mit vielen Schlaglöchern und tiefen Regenrinnen. Für Sportwagen nicht empfehlenswert.

La villa tient toutes ses promesses, vue exceptionnelle mer et montagne, équipement parfait. Nous avons apprécié la piscine à toute heure, éclairage de rêve et apprécié le terrain de pétanque dans un site superbe. Bavella, Bonifacio ... Accueil et conseils de Frédéric au top ! Bref nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Hervorragend ausgestattete Villa mit schönem Ausblick auf die Küste von Pinarello. Die Erwartungen unserer Gruppe wurden voll erfüllt und wir hatten eine tolle Septemberwoche in diesem Domizil. Absolute Empfehlung!

Vues exceptionnelles!
Villa bénéficiant de magnifiques vue mer et montagne (aiguilles de Bavella); accès plage facile, rapide et quasiment confidentiel. A proximité de toutes les commodités. Calme absolu assuré. Séjour avec vue traversante mer et montagne. Equipement de la maison parfait. A l'intersaison, la cheminée, le chauffage,la clim réversible et la piscine chauffée sont un plus indéniable. Accueil par Fred amical et impeccable, merci!
