This is a beautiful and peaceful spot nestled into the mountain maquis above the sea. We like the lovely gardens and pool area overlooking the views and the intimacy of a private home along with the services of a B&B.

Description
Located at the entrance of Bastia and the Cap Corse on over an acre of lush mountain terrain, this private villa overlooking the sea and the old village of Erbalunga has been transfored into an intimate B&B with just two private rooms for guests. Minutes from Bastia, you will be at the gates of Cap Corse, the “island on the island”, whose Genoese towers and sweeping landscapes add to the unique wild character of this multi-faceted area.
Nestled into a peaceful setting, the owners have designed their home as an inspiring and artistic island retreat. Owners Marie-Pierre, a sculptor and plastic artist, and Patrick, a writer, share their passion for art and the relaxing Mediterranean lifestyle through unique design and hospitality and have designed the house as a place where artists meet for workshops, exhibitions and conferences.
The large main room includes soaring ceilings with a stairway leading to a library with cozy fireside seating areas as well as a dining area that opens out to the gardens. Each of the two en suite bedrooms can accommodate two guests and both feature gorgeous sea views.
Head out to the gardens where you can lounge and sunbathe by the pool and take in the endless horizon.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Breakfast included at €12 per person per day. Wifi throughout. All other media is excluded to provide complete peace and quiet for guests. Parking.

Merci Marie-Pierre for such a warm, welcoming, and delightfull stay at your Villa. Our family of five, 13,20, 21 and my husband and I enjoyed the comfort of your villa, the beautifully appointed rooms, our ensuites and the pool with the magnificent views of the ocean.
The Villa location was well placed for day trips to Saint Florent, and up the coast. We will be back, Victoria and Famille. x

Wonderful stay at the most peaceful place on earth! The host, Marie-Pierre, is marvellous with opening her 250 plus year old family home to her guests – and we immediately felt at home there. The swimming pool with spectacular view over the coastline is fantastic. The town of Erbalunga has a pitoresque downtown harbour area with quite a few attractive bars, family-run pizzerias and distinguished restaurants. The next wide and sandy beach is about a 10min. drive by car north along the coastline.

Villa Elisabeth is a very special venue in which to stay on many levels. The setting it exquisite – both inside and out. The views out to the sea and Elba beyond were mesmerizing, especially at sunset. The interior of the property is very unique and filled with furnishings and art that one would would not find other than in a setting in which the proprietor lives on site. The proprietor, Marie-Pierre, was welcoming and helpful from the minute I arrived and was fascinating to become acquainted with – she took extra care to ensure my stay was well attended to. I highly recommend this listing.

Villa Elisabeth is an amazing place to stay! My wife and I spent our first three nights here on our adventure through Corsica. The location is beautiful and the nearby village of Erbalunga is very charming. Marie is a fantastic host as well, she helped us throughout our time here with several great recommendations and was a pleasure to speak with each day.
