Villa with very nice sea view
This villa was perfect for our family for a week in April. A baby for and high chair were provided which we really appreciated for our toddler. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Enough space for everyone. Bedrooms were comfortable and reversible AC worked well to heat a bit as we got cold wind. The view is amazing from terrasse/living room and kitchen. Alain and Michele who welcomed us were great for check in and check out. We found everything that we needed during our stay. Lots of touring guides with a few in English so that was useful for my in-laws. Porticcio is a nice beach town with cafes and restaurant right in the beach, a super market and gas station and really anything you need within just minutes of driving. Nice public playground area and carousel for the kids! We were able to tour quite a few spots during our stay including the Sanguinari islands, Piana calanques with a boat tour from Porto, the turtle sanctuary, even down to Bonifacio, going through Propriano and Sartene. We are overall very happy of our stay at micheal and Marie Catherine.

Everything you could wish for...
Ideally situated property with fabulous views across the bay. We watched the ferries, planes and cruise ships coming and going. Ajaccio and all it has to offer is not far away. Clean and very well equipped house. Supermarket and shops close by. To be recommended.

Outstanding fantastic property
This was a fantastic experience, living for ten days in this marvellous big house with outstanding views and more than fantastic sunsets! Every day we had a real spectacle! Never seen before! The villa Josephine is quite big, perfectly equipped with all you have at your home! Kitchen, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, bedrooms, matrasses, pillows, etc etc, everything of best quality and clean! A big thank to Michèle and Alain Bianchi, the property managers. As they live close by, they were always reachable. Very very supporting mangers!! Also big thank to the owners, Marie Catherine and Michael in Great Britain, who allowed us to spend this perfect stay.in their villa in Porticcio! We appreciate also the excellent place, close to Porticcio centre, beaches as well as to the airport and to Ajaccio. There have been great days for us. Moreover the weather was fantastic in October, sun every day! Thank you so much!

Great Villa with wonderful views
The villa is situated on a hill above the town commanding wonderful views whatever time of day, but they especially spectacular in the evening while watching the sunset over the bay. It has three good size double rooms and a triple. The double bedrooms are well appointed, the triple is a little dark but functional. The living space is on the top floor, with a large lounge dinner, opening out onto a veranda. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa, and enjoyed the homely atmosphere. The kitchen is well equipped and we spent most evening on the veranda enjoying the views and home cooked food. If you wanted to venture out their are plenty of good restaurants on the beach in the local town which is approximately a 10 min walk down the hill, but just remember you have to make it back up the hill after your night out. Shops are close by, with carrefour in town for all your major supplies. I would have no hesitation in recommending this villa, with plenty of beaches, shops and restaurants close by it's a perfect break.

Beautiful villa josephine!
We were a group of 7 UK scuba divers, with 5 staying at the Josephine and 2 staying at the viva marina in the town. Our 1st impression was the same as our last, this is a wonderful place to stay!. Mrs Bianchi and her husband (a keen diver) prepared the villa very well met us in the morning and made us feel welcome. The villa itself is absoloutly charming, you could tell that the owners had lavished love and care on it and everywhere you looked there was something to like, from the nick nacks around the bathrooms and bedrooms to the pictures on the walls of the lounge and kitchen, you could tell that thought had gone into making it a place to be proud of. As a group of middle aged men we are generally quite lazy so we tend to eat out normally. However at the Josephine we wanted to stay and watch the sunsets (spectacular!) and talk over the days diving and the terrace became our focal point. And we demonstrated culinary skills that we did not know we possessed. Views - Stunning,if anything the pictures dont do it justice Facilities - excellent, cant think of anything that was not provided Cleanliness - very clean and functional Location - easy to get to and in a fantastic position Commnication - very good comms from the owners both before we got there and a huge folder of info about the villa, Porticcio and the surrounding area Garden - beautifully maintained and a great place to relax and wind down Bedrooms - great views and very comfortable All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our villa experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Corsica. Many thanks to Micheal and Marie Catherine!!

séjour compliqué
Beaucoup de choses à revoir. Déjà dès qu'il pleut il y a une fuite, et de l'eau coule du plafond dans 1 des chambres. Les draps et linges fournis sentent le renfermé. Douche du haut : très peu de pression et peu fonctionnelle. Aucun interrupteur à côté de la porte de la chambre dès qu'on rentre dans celle-ci ne fonctionnent. Difficulté pour se garer. Bref villa à éviter
