Area & Experiences

The Piantarella lagoon is a treasure hidden fifteen minutes away from the mouth of Bonifacio. Between the fine sand, turquoise water, and warm ocean currents, it feels like a paradise island. Off in the distance, you can see the small islands of Piana and Cavallo. Located a stone’s throw from the beach, Villa Zéphyr is surrounded only by nature. In the distance, the Mediterranean Sea extends its blue surface out into the horizon.

Our nearby experiences

Beautiful knives

At the Ceccaldi forge, blades are reddening in the flames. Others are being struck with great hammer blows, bent, struck again. They will become magnificent Damascus blades. In the workshops next-door, handles are being crafted from olive wood or horn. All the complexities of making these knives, true works of art, are unveiled.

A cappella at home

As the singers’ voices fill the house, nothing else matters, not time, nor the surroundings. The polyphonic Corsican songs (“A pulifunia Corsa”) are captivating in their power and beauty. Songs sung long ago in remote valleys by shepherds, in your home, brought to you by singers and musicians, passionate about the culture of their island.

Dishes with character

As a starter, Nicole serves copa and lonzu, the two staples of Corsican charcuterie. “Home-made”, she says simply, nodding towards her husband Paul. Tonight, at their isolated farm near the Bavella mountains, brocciu cannelloni and lemon fiadone are on the menu, all helped down with a good Corsican wine and short stories told by the couple, Corsican, always and forever. A delight.
