This converted schoolhouse has a lovely relaxed feel. The soft tones and vintage furnishings of its interiors evoke a bygone age of glamor that has faded just enough to be comfortable. Its exteriors are idyllic – an outdoor dining area with large infinity pool and views of the nearby mountains. Perfect for two couples or two families, there are two additional accomodations available to rent on the same property (see link below).
The Old School Sartene, Corsica, France

- Sleeps 8
- from € 465 nt
With its breathtaking views across the countryside to the surrounding mountains, this old schoolhouse is part of three house compound and is a great holiday destination for two couples or two families.
Exteriors are simple and rustic – with stone, brick and terracotta tiling. Interiors are elegant, a throwback to the early 20th century, chic with just a hint of shabby. The color scheme is earthy tones, with cool blues and teals, and the occasional burst of red.
The main part of the house has two double bedrooms (with bathrooms), and there is a separate area with four single beds, that can be rented at an extra charge.
The garden is perfect for relaxing and entertaining, with a large infinity pool, an outdoor jacuzzi, a hammam Turkish bath, restroom and showers. The outdoor kitchen and dining area are equipped for meals around the pool, with everything guests will need (from barbecue to refrigerator and dishwasher).
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The large lounge features a fireplace and television with DVD player. The kitchen has a fridge-freezer, stove, dishwasher and microwave. There is also a laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. There is underfloor heating and cooling in the main part of the house.
During the Easter and October school holidays (and on request all year round), horseback rides are available for adults and pony/donkey rides for children.
A personal chef is also available, as well as a massage therapist. How about a relaxation massage or seaweed wrap under the oak tree, with dinner waiting for you when you’ve unwound?
Check out the Stone Barn or Old School for additional accommodations on this property.
AROUND
The property is located in the Ortolu Valley in southern Corsica. It is 15 minutes to Roccapina beach, 20 minutes to the lovely old village of Santène, 45 minutes to Bonifacio, and 1 hour 15 minutes to the most stunning Corsican summits.
Closer to home, there are plenty of walks starting at the property. Take a walk to the hamlet of Mola, or try something a little more strenuous and take in the stunning views. Mountain bikes are provided for guests, and circuits are clearly indicated. You can ride across the estate or as far as the river for a swim.
