At the gateway to southern Corsica, in Solenzara, the Domaine de Solenzara opens the doors to a rare place, where time seems suspended between sea and mountains. Nestling in the heart of a 16-hectare private wine-growing estate, ten holiday villas facing the sea offer an authentic and confidential experience, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Completely hidden away among the vines, these charming residences invite you to immerse yourself in an unspoilt region. The Lucchini family, passionate guardians of these lands, warmly welcome you to this wine-growing setting, where each villa embodies the Corsican art of living, between fertile soil, Mediterranean light and infinite panorama.
The estate is part of a strong family history, which began in 1946 when Santu Lucchini, on his return from Dakar, transformed this former industrial land into a vineyard. His grandson Émile carried on this legacy until a decisive encounter in the 1990s. Fabienne, who had come to Corsica for a few days, fell in love with the island, the vines and Émile. Together, they restructured the estate and obtained the AOP Corse Porto-Vecchio label, giving birth to recognised wines and a strong identity. Today, Fabienne carefully cultivates Vermentinu, Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu, the island's emblematic grape varieties.
In the heart of this wine-growing landscape, the ten charming villas blend harmoniously into their natural surroundings. Available in two- and three-bedroom versions, they are all fully equipped and designed to offer comfort, privacy and serenity. Each villa enjoys an exceptional view stretching from the vineyards to the sea, with the majestic spectacle of the Aiguilles de Bavella on the mountain side.
Although located in a quiet, unspoilt setting, the villas are close to the lively seaside resort of Solenzara, which is within walking distance of the town centre and Scaffa Rossa beach. The private, enclosed estate features a heated swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, Wi-Fi fibre connection and private parking for each villa.
Safety and comfort are top priorities, with secure entrances, charging points for electric vehicles and disabled access for some villas. On-demand services complete the experience, such as cellar tours, breakfast and baby facilities.
Nearby, the coast reveals a wilder side. After crossing the bridge over the River Solenzara, the long beaches give way to sculpted cliffs and secret coves. The beaches of Canella, Favone, Tarco and Fautea, with their crystal-clear waters, are ideal places to get away from it all. The hilltop village of Sari, Monte Santu and the region's contrasting landscapes tell the story of an area where nature and heritage blend in rare harmony.
At the Domaine de Solenzara, everything has been thought of to ensure that your stay is one of gentle living, authenticity and discreet refinement.
