Facing Ruppione beach

For more than 40 years, we have been welcoming travellers right across from Ruppione beach.

On the south shore of the Bay of Ajaccio, Villa Iché-Poggi welcomes you in Pietrosella, Corsica, with apartments that are updated and improved every year.

Villa Iché-Poggi

From spring to autumn, enjoy Ruppione.

Villa Iché-Poggi is a family house facing the beach, with terraces open onto the Bay of Ajaccio — an easy base for the sea, the maquis and local outings, without rushing.

Outside the peak season, short stays are possible from 3 nights depending on availability. In July and August, the busiest period, stays are mostly booked by the week. Discounts apply from 7 nights in low and mid season, and from 14 nights in summer.

A short video to picture yourself there: the sand, the sea and the atmosphere of Ruppione, right across from Villa Iché-Poggi.

Spring and autumn

Corsica, when it breathes.

In spring, the maquis blooms around Ruppione, the trails smell of rockrose and immortelle, and the sea regains its clear blues without the summer bustle. In autumn, the Bay of Ajaccio keeps a soft light, the beaches empty little by little and the evenings invite you to stay outdoors.

The Villa is perfect for summer holidays, but also for couples, walkers, active families and friends who want to enjoy Corsica differently. Outside the peak season, short stays are possible from 3 nights depending on availability. In July and August, the busiest period, stays are mostly booked by the week.

Bay of Ajaccio

Arrive across the bay and get to know the south shore.

From the boat, the whole south shore unfolds at a glance: hills, villages, beaches, Porticcio, Isolella and the open sea. It makes you want to drop your bags at Ruppione and explore from there, never far from the bay.

The ferry shuttle to Ajaccio, boat trips and excursions let you discover the area from the water. To compare outing ideas, the GetYourGuide link is available on the site.

The Villa

The sea in front, the house behind.

Villa Iché-Poggi stands at Ruppione, just across the road that runs along the beach. From the terraces, the Bay of Ajaccio appears between the pines, the rooftops and the shimmering sea.

The beach a few steps away

In the morning, you stroll down to the sand with a towel over your shoulder. At lunchtime, you come back up to eat in the cool. In the evening, the beach bar and the sea are still right there — no need to take the car.

This closeness gives your stay its natural rhythm: sea, terrace, maquis, then back to the calm of the house.

Villa Iché-Poggi, terraces and Mediterranean greenery

The house and its Mediterranean garden

You can spot the Villa from the coast road, with its terraces, stairways and Mediterranean plants. It has kept the spirit of a family home, simple and lively.

People come to sleep by the sea, but also to find an easy-going base after walks, swims and outings around Ajaccio.

Apartments

Choose your pace.

From studio to 4-bedroom, the seven apartments sleep 2 to 9 guests. Some suit couples, others families or groups of friends; all share the same great asset: Ruppione, the beach and the south shore of the Bay of Ajaccio.

All seasons

Ruppione in spring and autumn: another way to experience Corsica.

Villa Iché-Poggi is open from spring to autumn. While July and August remain the most popular months, it is often the off-peak stays that leave the best memories.

April, May, June

The maquis is in bloom. Pink rockrose, immortelle and sea lavender cover the hills down to the sea. The beaches are almost deserted — Ruppione, Mare e Sole, Isolella — with water already clear but still cool. Walks are pleasant in the morning, terraces warm from midday. For short stays from 3 nights, it is the ideal season.

The Vermentinu, Codicerta and Brustianu apartments are perfect for a long weekend or a spring week away.

September, October, November

The sea keeps the warmth of summer. The beaches are calm again. Ajaccio can be explored without the crowds, the beach bars still serve their sharing boards, and the evening light over the Sanguinaires is unmatched. It is also the season for excursions: Corte, the Coti-Chiavari reservoir, the coastal path from the Sanguinaires to Capo di Feno.

For groups or large families, Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu offer all the space you need for a relaxed pace.

Outside summer, short stays from 3 nights are also possible depending on availability — a popular option for a getaway outside school holidays. Check availability directly in our Lodgify booking bar.

Coming as a group in low season? Book several apartments and enjoy −10% for 2 or 3 apartments, −12.5% for 4, −15% for 5 or 6 and −20% for the whole villa. Ask for a quote.
