Description

Villa Costa Esmeralda lies in one of the most evocative settings in the world overlooking the Natural Reserve of South Corsica, one of the last remaining paradises on the Mediterranean Sea.

This authentic red cedar villa is located on the beautiful Sperone Golf Course. On the southern tip of Corsica, Sperone is an exclusive community where many artists, sports champions and media personalities have found the quiet life they were looking for.

Totally renovated, this true "Bella Vista" property has been developed into a 12 person luxury residence with maximum comfort and privacy and breathtaking sea views of the Lavezzi Islands and Sardinia.

The main gate leads you to the partially covered upper terrace – ideal for lunch and dinner. The living room and separate dining room are furnished with elegant, tasteful furniture, facing bay windows largely open to the sea.

Invite friends, plan your vacation, your corporate retreat or private party, a wedding... Villa Costa Esmeralda is an excellent family house that ensures tranquility, calm and discretion.

The property is positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac with ultimate privacy. The private hideaway path running along the picturesque Corsican white stone wall brings you to the villa Costa Esmeralda’s main entrance, and its gardens... a sight to behold... centennial olive trees, cypresses, bougainvillea and native Corsican ‘maquis’... nestling amongst the rocks it merges imperceptibly into the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.
