to get started.

Villa Praesidio is located in a small mountain village, perfect if you like strolling through the countryside. Dinner which we pre-ordered was delicious. Cyril was a very helpful host.

Srinivas, India

Each place is separate. You have a feeling of being alone

Henya, Israel

Located in a natural surrounding. They have a private parking lot. It needs some courage to park there (quite small road with edges) but the owner offered parking your car him selves. We did it ourselves;-)

Pauline, Netherlands

they managed to include more facilities than you will expect in this little crowded room

Rachel, Israel

We made a round trip at Corsica and this was th only place where they asked what kind of coffee we would like to drink (and they were also able to provide a proper espresso). :-) The place itself is great and the staff is really helpful.

András, Hungary

Beautiful location and very peaceful. Excellent breakfast brought to the villa every morning at a time of your choosing. Corte is only a short drive away for supermarket and restaurants. Villa was very clean and well looked after. Would definitely recommend as a base for hiking in the area. We loved our stay here.

Claire, United Kingdom

Nice little hut in the garden of the owner. Wifi worked very fast. Kitchen was well equipped and even had a kettle. Bed very comfortable. Fantastic breakfast on your own terrace.

The terrace is very small. In the event that rain falls, you can only be in a small room. We had 2 dogs with us, who were tied up because they have many cats. Not suitable for dog owners. For breakfast, there was only honey, butter and jam, no cheese, no sausages. There are many steep stairs to the house, the problem of carrying luggage. At night you could only open the window in the bathroom if it did not rain. Not enough fresh air in the room. The window and the door only open inward or be closed.
an interesting little room

“Nice hut but with some down sides”

No privacy. Sitting on your terra means sitting in the garden with the others. Also bathroom window can't be opened without giving The access to the property is quite adventurous because very steep and parking is limited and very difficult to reverse. Parking in the village quite a walk uphill and usually full. One has to carry the luggage down to the hut with steep stairs. I was extremely exhausted after a long day with lots of driving and then the steep stairs and met the owner with not my full energy and said it's quite adventurous to drive there. Whereupon the owner replied that he as the owner can decide who is staying in his premises and if I'm not happy I should leave. I was shocked. Threatening me just because I mentioned something negative is not how you should treat your customers. I booked 8 months in advance and the room was prepaid already... So many things were nice but that lied like a shadow over my whole stay.
Nice little hut in the garden of the owner. Wifi worked very fast. Kitchen was well equipped and even had a kettle. Bed very comfortable. Fantastic breakfast on your own terrace.
