The apartment is a little sanctuary facing the sea, stretching endlessly to the horizon, a presence felt at every moment. That is what makes the “Casa Madria” studio unique: a peaceful haven of charm nestled between sea and maquis. 
Some mornings, you open your eyes and the sea is simply there: vast, turquoise, so close it feels almost within reach, as if the whole world had quietly narrowed down to what truly matters. This apartment is not a brochure promise. It is your reality from the very first coffee, on a balcony suspended above Tenutella Beach, in the Gulf of Valinco. Nestled on the top floor, entirely renovated with premium materials and a level of detail inspired by luxury hospitality, this intimate retreat was designed for two.
THE SPACE
The moment you step through the door, something shifts: the view, flooding the apartment through the large glass doors like a living painting.
A 140 cm bed dressed in carefully selected linens, natural light moving gently through the space from morning until dusk. The open kitchen, overlooking the living area, is fully equipped to cook and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
The bakery is just 500 metres away for those who like to begin the day with fresh bread.
The bathroom is an experience in itself: a walk-in rainfall shower, designer basin, backlit mirror and quality toiletries. And one secret detail: from the shower, the sea is still there. Trust me, you never get used to it.
On the balcony, suspended above the Mediterranean, you will watch the sun set over the Gulf of Valinco as it fades through shades of gold, amber and rose. Some evenings, you simply will not want to move.

THE EXPERIENCE
This apartment is a pause in time. Not simply accommodation, but a different way of experiencing Corsica. You wake to the sound of waves. You drink your coffee facing a horizon that feels entirely your own. You spend the morning in the water and the afternoon wandering through the maquis, without ever needing a car. By evening, the changing light transforms the balcony into something almost indescribable.
For lovers who want to disappear. 
For travellers who notice every detail. 
For those who know that the real Corsica is something you live, hear and breathe.
LOCATION
Tenutella Beach, Olmeto, South Corsica — between crystal-clear waters and wild maquis, along the D157 coastal road between Propriano and Porto-Pollo.
Everything you need is close at hand: bakery 500 m away, grocery store 800 m away, restaurants all around.
· Ajaccio Airport (AJA) — 1h15 drive. The best connected airport, with direct flights from most major European cities. 
· Figari Airport (FSC) — 1h30 drive. Quieter and sometimes cheaper. Ideal if you wish to visit Bonifacio or Porto-Vecchio upon arrival. 
· Ferry from Marseille — Propriano harbour is only 15 minutes away (Corsica Linea). Perfect if you are travelling with your own car.
Porto-Pollo · 5 min 
Propriano · 15 min 
Sartène · 30 min 
Ajaccio · 1h15 
Porto-Vecchio · 2h 
Bonifacio · 2h
A personal tip: if you arrive via Ajaccio, take the coastal road through Propriano rather than the inland route. It adds around 20 minutes, but your first glimpse of the Gulf of Valinco is worth every second.
