Vacances au vert

Accueillis par Marcel, le barman du village. Hyper sympa et de bon conseil pour les visites à prévoir. Propriétaire par messages, prevenante et réactive. Tout petit village perché dans les hauteurs. Dépaysant et calme, mais il ne faut pas oublier la plaque de beurre au supermarché !! Superette à 12km pour l'appoint. Maison Corse typique. Inaccessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite. On a adoré, Merci !

La Corse authentique

Le logement est très agréable, dans une belle bâtisse et donne sur la place du village. Le village est calme et les habitants très accueillants (Marcel, le patron du bar, est très fédérateur dans le village). De belles balades alentour, les plages pas trop loin et la nature. Belle surprise, il y a 6 couchages dans cette maison. La propriétaire est très disponible et agréable. Bref, je recommande vivement et je n'hésiterai pas lors d'un prochain séjour en Corse.

Séjour dans un beau village Corse

Le gîte se situe au centre du village typique de Guarguale. Les villageois sont très accueillants. Le bar du village qui fait aussi pizzeria est un vrai Lieu de convivialité et de partage. Il y a le petit marché le samedi matin à la sortie du gîte qui permet de rencontrer directement les producteurs. Le gîte permet de se rendre à la plage de Porto Polo, mais aussi d'aller faire des balades ressourçantes dans le haut taravo : une région sauvage et très authentique.

Superbe maison

Village très très paisible et dépaysant , avec des voisins très sympathique. Maison identique à l'annonce. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants) Le seul petit bémol loin des commerces pour se ravitailler. Propriétaire à l'écoute de ses locataires. Nous en garderons de très bon souvenirs.

Maison spacieuse à prix très raisonnable

Maison de village en Triplex au calme à 45 mn d'Ajaccio, très bien agencée, dans laquelle rien ne manque. La propriétaire a même pensé au nécessaire pour notre petit déjeuner en raison de notre arrivée tardive. Nous conseillons vivement cette location familiale et typique de l'arrière pays corse pour les amateurs de calme.

très belles vacances en Corse

Petite maison très agréable pour des vacances à 4, car très bien équipée question vaisselle, espaces de rangement, jeux de société... Elle a du tempérament, la terrasse est confortable pour déjeuner, pour laisser quelques affaires, étendre du linge. On est en plein centre du village, la vue donne sur une place ou sur d'autres maisons, mais sans vis à vis. Ce qui lui manque? Une petite lumière à l'extérieur pour les repas le soir. Autour bien sûr, il y a l'incontournable bar de Marcel où on se sent accueilli et traité comme si on était du pays : Marcel distribue volontiers des bons tuyaux de balades et raconte des histoires qui donnent toujours envie de prendre un deuxième "cap corse" de discuter, de partager un moment dans ce village plein de charme niché dans le maquis corse. La région est superbe, la maison est parfaitement tenue, petite mais très bien agencée, on la recommande, ainsi que ce village de caractère
