Notes from the host
Villa Madrale
A place filled with tranquillity where serenity is the keyword. Villa Madrale is situated five kilometres away from Cité Paoline and l’Île-Rousse: somewhat away from the vivacity of the village, but still fully in the centre of Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna. This architect-designed house covers a 1,100 m² terrain with trees, offering you a panoramic view on the Reginu waters and the mountainous Balagne hinterland.
With a net floor area of 140 m², fully air-conditioned and fitted with an intrusion alarm, the house provides three private parking spaces on-site and a swimming pool (4 x 7 m) with Jacuzzi area.
Because we decided that calmness, comfort and serenity should be the key words of your stay, we designed this house in the belief that it can combine the modernity of its equipment with the authenticity of its architecture. All of this in order to create a true jewel that brings its guests the tranquillity they expect during holidays.
