The Moor's head, also called the "Moor's head," is a symbol dating back to the 11th century representing the head of a black Moor.


An immersion in authentic Corsica

Hamlet perched at an altitude of 450 m in the heart of the Corsican maquis.

This private space, accessible via a separate staircase, ensures complete independence: you live in your own private territory, without immediate neighbors, without passing traffic, and without noise. This traditional house with its private upper floor offers absolute tranquility for a total reconnection with nature. Far from the tourist crowds, Calvese invites you to rediscover the very essence of Corsica.

Your comfortable, independent upper-floor space is designed to accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children, in a setting where time flows to the rhythm of cicadas and the wind rustling through centuries-old olive trees.
