Historic family home in the heart of a Corsican village

La maison du prince Pierre is a historic family home located in the heart of a Balagne village, ten minutes' drive from the beaches of Calvi.

Originally the home of a sgió ("lord" in Corsican), it was the centre of a vast olive-growing and wine-producing estate.
Then, the estate was bought by Prince Pierre-Napoléon Bonaparte, nephew of Napoléon I.
The columned terrace, inspired by the Florentine Palazzo Bargello, became a meeting place between the sea and the mountains, where poetry and the arts were celebrated.

Today it is set in 800 m2 of gardens, mainly planted with olive, laurel, orange and jasmine trees. The secure swimming pool, shady arbours and outdoor kitchen and barbecue are just the thing for your Mediterranean dreams.

Step inside and you'll be seduced by its authenticity: from the billiards room to the library lounge, there's something for everyone. The fully-equipped kitchen, with its old brass oven, will add rustic charm to your family meals.

Sleeping accommodation is as follows :
On the ground floor, a double bedroom and three single bedrooms (with two single beds). One of the single bedrooms has its own bathroom. The others share a central bathroom. There is also a bathroom with bath on this floor.
Upstairs are three master suites with en-suite bathrooms. There are also two double bedrooms.

As the house is in the centre of the village, you'll have direct access to all the local shops and restaurants, as well as mountain walks. It's easy to explore the picturesque villages of Balagne. The beach is just 10 minutes away by car.
