The expression ‘pieds dans l’eau’ could not be more appropriate than to Triandrus Mare a wonderful modern villa poised on the shore by the bustling characterful town of Calvi.

The expression ‘pieds dans l’eau’ could not be more appropriate than to Triandrus Mare a wonderful modern villa poised on the shore by the bustling characterful town of Calvi on Corsica.

This luxurious new villa, built above the spectacular rocky headlands of the Calvi coast, could not feel closer to the water. The large decking, ocean liner in character, is the perfect place to while away a day or two; everything necessary is to hand - comfortable furniture, cool drinks, spectacular pool and stunning views. One can feel almost expeditionary just watching the water-born world go by from this fabulous viewpoint.

Picture windows run the length of the spacious living room and bring this breathtaking view inside so that some guests may find it hard to tear themselves away from the property, even though the restaurants of Calvi are just a short walk away.

The villa is built into the rock of the island’s coast and on this foundation, the accommodation is laid out on two levels. The master bedroom suite lies on the lower level and is a privileged spot with its own terrace and a Hammam in the luxurious bathroom. It is not all one-sided however and all other bedrooms have their own bathrooms en suite, as well as DVD players and flatscreen televisions for personal entertainment should one wish. Throughout the furnishings are stylish and contemporary, following through the clean, practical lines of the exterior.

More energetic guests might be amused to know there is a fitness room hidden away here and this could be useful when contemplating the excellent kitchen and barbecue and the lovely loggia and outdoor dining area where fabulous island cuisine can be enjoyed, as if shipboard, watching the lights twinkle across the water and the fishing boats heading out to catch tomorrow’s supper.
