Bergerie Olivella is included in a feature by Condé Nast Traveller entitled "25 of the best villas in Europe".
Here's what they say about this Premium Villa:
"Bergerie Olivella (sleeps 6), near Propriano
Hidden in dense Mediterranean shrub and forest (holm oak, buckthorn, juniper and myrtle), this secluded old bergerie (dating from 1954) has its peace disturbed only by chirruping cicadas. The nearest town is Olimeto, a five-minute drive along country roads, with bars, restaurants and shops. Thick stone walls and a pantiled roof supported by solid wooden beams keep the interiors cool, with the help of ceiling fans and gauzy door drapes. Floors are tiled, walls are painted in earthy colours and the furniture is dark wood. Bookcases, reading lights and a haphazard collection of pictures give the cottage a relaxed and welcoming feel. An oval-shaped pool in the landscaped gardens overlooks the Gulf of Valinco.
Price £761-£1,169 per person per week including flights and car hire (based on six sharing) Book through Corsican Places (0845 330 2113; www.corsica.co.uk)
