Beautiful place and lovely host
We had a very pleasant stay at Urtaca, the house is beautiful, very well equipped and with attractive furnitures. We enjoyed the pool and the garden much. The view from the terrace over the hills to the sea is fantastic. It took us only about 10 Minute to the next sandy beach. Danielle is a fabulous host, she took care for an unforgettable stay. Thanks a lot, Danielle!

Fantastic time in a gorgeous house and location
We spent 10 days as a family (2 adults and 3 teens) exploring Corsica for the first time and couldn't have wished for a better location, house and host. Danielle is very friendly and was making us feel really welcome all the way through our stay (including making a cake for our oldest son's birthday - definitely beyond the line of duty). The house is beautiful and stately with a fantastic pool; and in a great location with a view of both sea and mountains - a good base to explore the north part of the island (you can hike straight from the village, or get to lots of other locations within 30-50min, including Corte, the Agriate Desert, Calvi, Isle de Rousse and much more.) The kids rated it as the best holiday house they stayed in - not sure what else to add :), would definitely go back!

Wonderful villa, gorgeous views, charming village, very friendly hostess
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation in Urtaca, hosted by Danielle, who is the nicest hostess we have had many years of VRBO travel. She really made us feel at home in her little village and was always ready to help (living close by) and share her knowledge of the area and culture. She welcomed us with award winning, delicious local honey and breads, and we enjoyed meeting her dogs. The town of Urtaca is very charming, perched in the hills and off the tourist track. We went hiking directly from the house. The pool is very clean and refreshing. The views are spectacular from every room. We enjoyed swimming at the nearby beaches and hiking along the sea cliffs and drove to many beautiful villages along the north coast. The location is very private with no visible neighbors, and yet is a short drive to stores and various attractions. We feel it is our Coriscan home away from home and hope to return soon. We are still enjoying our jars of Urtacan honey.

Das Haus und die Aussicht sind ein Traum. Wer es ruhig mag, ist hier genau richtig. Nächster Strand ist in ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Zum nächsten Supermarkt sind es ca. 20 Minuten Fahrt. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und es gab sogar lokale Leckereien als Begrüßungsgeschenk. Danielle ist sehr bemüht um ihre Gäste.

Beautiful location, amazing villa
Perfect place to get away and enjoy what Corsica has to offer. Lovely pool, beautiful views out to sea and into the mountains. Perfect location for hiking, beach trips, doing nothing, or exploring the nearby towns and villages. You will need to drive at least 20 minutes to get to restaurants and supermarkets but there are a few towns nearby with lots of great food available. Our host Danielle was extremely friendly and very accommodating and helped us with finding the places we need to.

Formidable
La maison est en tous points conforme à l'annonce, Nous étions 2 couples donc bien évidemment beaucoup d'espace puisque la propriété dispose de 4 belles chambres. La piscine est grande, un bel aménagement autour, nous en avons plus que profité. Du calme, une vue exceptionnelle, un village corse typique où nous avons été très bien accueillis, tout a été réuni pour des vacances parfaites. Danielle est tout simplement charmante et pleine d'attention. En résumé, 5 étoiles largement justifiées.

Get away from it all in this lovely accomodation set on a hillside with amazing views. Dining on the terrace above the pool with the sun setting in the distance is amazing. The host is very friendly and helpful and makes you feel very welcome with homemade treats. A car is essential as there are no shops near.

Ein Paradies im Paradies :-)
Wir hatten eine herrliche Woche bei Danielle in Urtaca. Das Haus mit seiner Aussicht, die unglaublich schöne Natur und nicht zuletzt die tolle Gastgeberin haben es perfekt gemacht! Die Anfahrt ist nach dem ersten Mal unkompliziert (war bei uns im Dunkeln) und es lassen sich unzählige Ausflüge in der nahen Umgebung unternehmen (egal ob Berge oder Meer). Das Haus würden wir direkt wieder buchen, es gibt absolut nichts zu bemängeln und für eine 5-köpfige Familie mehr als großzügig. Es gab in unserem Fall eine Kinder- und eine Elternetage mit jeweils ausreichend Bädern. Und der gut gepflegte Pool runden das Ganze ab. Wer Korsika in seiner Ursprünglichkeit erleben will, ist hier genau richtig. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wieder kommen - ins Paradies :-)

Un séjour idéal
Dans la magnifique maison de Daniele, nous avons passé un séjour enchanteur. Le cadre est absolument superbe, et la vue en surplomb sur la vallée de l’Ostriconi, avec la mer en arrière plan, est époustouflante. La maison est très confortable, décorée avec goût, dans des tons chaleureux, et très bien équipée. C’est un endroit apaisant qui incite à la sérénité.

Wir haben als 7 köpfige Familie Urlaub in diesem fantastischen Ferienhaus gemacht. Der Ort war wirklich wunderschön, verzaubert, ruhig - in Mitten von Natur.

Magique
Je suis partie avec mes enfants à Urtaca dans la maison de Danielle. La maison est juste exceptionnelle. Très bien pensée, elle est très agréable à vivre et offre une belle surprise : le séjour possède une immense baie vitrée qui ouvre la vue sur la vallée d Urtaca. Vous avez juste l impression d être devant un immense tableau. La piscine est très agréable et joliment arborée (on se croirait dans le jardin d Éden ). Cerise sur le gâteau : la maison offre une vue à 360 degrés entre vallée et montagnes se découpant sur un ciel étoilée de toute beauté. Que dire sinon qu il y a des endroits magnifiques à découvrir à pied comme en voiture mais jamais très loin. Les plages et criques sont magiques sans parler des rivières. Et Danielle est tout aussi magique que sa superbe maison posée dans une magnifique vallée: Merci pour ce séjour exceptionnel Danielle !

Ruheoase mit Meerblick bei Vermieterin mit großem Herz
Die Villa ist wirklich wunderschön gelegen und liebevoll eingerichtet. Unsere Ankunft war ein einziges Chaos, da zuerst die Mitreisenden erkrankten, dann unser Flug mit 32 Stunden Verspätung in Bastia landete ( somit natürlich auch das gebuchte Auto vergeben war..) Während dieser chaotischen Zeit betreute uns Danielle via WhatsApp mit Rat und Tat. Sie spendete Trost und verbreitete immer wieder Zuversicht, regulierte alles mit der Autovermietung und erwartete uns dann auch noch am Flughafen, um zu dolmetschen und uns sicher in unsere Unterkunft zu bringen. Doch das war noch nicht alles, sie hatte auch noch für uns gekocht und alles für ein tolles Frühstück eingekauft und sogar bei einem Freund noch eine Flasche Wein für uns organisiert.... So brauchten wir uns nur noch das Essen erwärmen, den Wein öffnen und unter einem fantastischen Sternenhimmel endlich ankommen. Obwohl das Wetter durchwachsen war, haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Wir konnten jeden Tag tolle Wanderungen unternehmen und sogar im Meer baden. Danielle hat natürlich einen Großteil beigetragen, durch ihr großes Herz, ihre Hilfsbereitschaft und ihr sonniges Gemüt. Sie bietet einen Menüservice, den wir auch in Anspruch genommen haben, das können wir nur empfehlen !!! Aber lieber nicht am letzten Tag bestellen, da es garantiert für mehrer Tage reicht:) Thank you Danielle for ALL !!!
