Description
"Ortu au Mulinu" is an exceptional house in terms of style, location and well-kept facilities.
"Ortu au Mulinu" (Garden at the mill) is a former grain mill, which has aroused the owner back to life. The original building, Witness true Corsican heritage, has been completely restored and enlarged, with rigorous quality standards in terms of respect of the place and the surrounding area and the materials used have been created. Dry stone walls, centuries old roof tiles, raw bricks, terracotta floors, belts flooring oak - with a lot of empathy has been planned to the last detail.
The house has a large dining room with fully equipped kitchen and direct access to a fully furnished, covered with Virginia creeper terrace. Surrounded by the smell of lavender, rosemary and other Mediterranean plants, it is a real treat, there to take his meals.
Three bedrooms, each with private bath or shower and two toilets allow generous accommodation and a pleasant stay for six people. A large living room with panoramic windows and fireplace is sic in the upper tract of the property.
"Ortu di u Mulinu" is - although in the center of Urtaca located - still far away from other houses, so perfect intimacy is guaranteed. There are countless ways to the approximately one hectare wooded piece of land - even independent of the other roommates - to relax.
The site "s restanque" (terraced, supported by stone walls, which are probably hundreds of years old) is natural, even the (heated) pool, with its views of an aqueduct, blends discreetly into the landscape.
"Ortu au Mulinu" is located in a valley of the Ostriconi river with its same name, the beautiful beach (about 7 km) and another 7 km there is the well-known beach of Lozari. Pietralba Urtaca and especially the medieval village of Lama (with its annual Film Festival) are typical Corsican places where the olive and particularly sheep rearing for centuries for a relative living of the population attended. Lama can incidentally be achieved over an approximately four-hour hike, the beginning of which is only a few meters from the property. At the highest point of this hike you have a fantastic view up to the Cap Corse, Saint Florent, Monte Cinto etc.
Only 20 minutes' drive away Ile Rousse, even in winter a lively place, with its restaurants, the versatile possibilities for sports activities, the marina and that for the ferries that connect Corsica with France and Italy.
The Balagne, name of the region in which Ile Rousse and Calvi are, is an excellent destination for countless mountain villages, churches, stone houses, vineyards, sheep, chestnut forests, mountains with opportunities for hiking, cycling, canoeing etc.
In absolute peace and in a in spite of the accent on Authenzitität, luxüriösem frame, you can spend your holidays in "Ortu Al'Mulino" and tailored to your needs, to be active or simply relax.

Dreamlike house in small mountain village
We spent two wonderful weeks in Mme Hauck's house with our grown-up children and our dog. The house is lovingly renovated, each room has its own charm. In the garden we could get fresh figs, grapes and almonds. No matter what time of day, we had a wonderful view of the surroundings. The small village of Urtaca is very quiet, but the nearest beach is easy to reach by car. Mme Hauck is a great landlady, she welcomed us very warmly and provided us with lots of tips.
We felt like at home!

Dream domicile
We spent 2 wonderful weeks in this dreamlike house with spectacular property
If you love nature, the mountains, privacy and romance, this is the place for you
The baker who sells baguettes, croissants and eggs is worth a walk every morning through the quiet little village of Urtaca. Breakfast afterwards in the semi-shade on the cosy, chic terrace with Corsican honey, jams and sausages from the little shop at the foot of Urtaca was special
The pool is a dream and offers enough space and ambience all around to spread out and relax, while you can hear the little brook rushing in the background. Even the pool house has its own icebox
Many beaches, hiking routes, excursion destinations are within easy reach. Emmanuelle also gave valuable tips. She is a very nice and uncomplicated contact.
Dinner can be prepared effortlessly with the fully equipped kitchen. You will also find a blender for making a nightly crepe.
Of course, there are mosquitoes in summer, so our mosquito net came in handy in the mornings and evenings.
You can watch the sunset on the terrace with a glass of wine. It is an absolutely recommendable idyll and we will be back!
Thank you dear Emmanuelle

Exceptional holiday home
We were lucky to spend two fantastic weeks of vacation in this exceptional holiday home in September of this year.
The natural stone house with a very large plot of land and pool is located at the end of a small, quiet village in northern Corsica. The furnishings are very exquisite, stylish, and harmonious. The view of the village, the surrounding scrubland, and the well-kept garden is beautiful. There is a good bakery in the village. So every morning you have wonderfully scented bread on the breakfast table and you can even have it delivered.
The landlady is very friendly, concerned, and pleasantly uncomplicated. Since everything was well taken care of, we had no problems with the house and garden.
Shopping can be done at the supermarket with an attached organic market after a 20-minute drive. There are numerous excursion possibilities by car or small train in great variety. The nature of this island is simply magnificent. A long sandy beach can be reached after a 15-minute car ride with a bit of walking. Free parking is available in abundance. Refreshing swimming in the pool was still possible at any time at the end of September with summer temperatures.
We will remember these fantastic days for a long time and will definitely come back.

Sehr komfortables Haus mit ganz viel Flair in einem ursprünglichen Dorf mit Meerblick
Von insgesamt vier Häusern in drei verschiedenen Gegenden auf Korsika hat es uns hier am besten gefallen. Das Haus mit seinem ursprünglich-romantischem Grundstück hat ganz viel Flair ohne auf jeglichen Komfort verzichten zu müssen. Durch die überaus freundliche Vermieterin fühlten wir uns wie Gäste und nicht wie Touristen. Dies empfanden wir auch beim morgendlichen Gang durchs Dorf zum Bäcker, bei dem das Baguette und die Croissants direkt aus der Backstube kommen. Selbst im Nachbardorf Lama, zu dem man einen wunderschönen Spaziergang machen kann, wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen und bewirtet, obwohl das Lokal Amama noch nicht geöffnet hatte. Der Ostriconi Strand ist nah und sehr schön und die Gegend bietet sehr viele Un ternehmungsmöglichkeiten.
Insgesamt unser Favorit und sicher noch ein kleiner Geheimtip.

Tolles Haus für Familien, das Geschichte verströmt und trotzdem jeden modernen Komfort bietet
Ortu a u Mulino war ursprünglich eine Ölmühle und wurde zu einem komortablen Ferienhaus für bis zu 6 Personen erweitert. Es liegt völlig ruhig am Ortsende von Urtaca, dass immerhin über eine (sehr gute) Bäckerei, eine winzige Epicerie und eine Bar verfügt. Das Haus hat eine Große Wohnküche mit einem super Gasherd, Spülmaschine, großer Kühl- /Gefrierkombi und allen Geräten, die das Kochherz begehrt. Wir haben überwiegend am großen Tisch der Küch gegessen, weil es auf der Terrasse immer Mitesser (lästige Wespen) gab, was aber nicht gestört hat. Die drei Schlafzimmer sind - wie das ganze Haus - sehr geschmackvoll mit Antiquitäten ausgestattet. Zwei der Schlafzimmer sind klimatisiert, das dritte ist etwas kleiner. Dort hat (ohne zu leiden) unser Sohn gewohnt, während unsere 2 Mädchen im Himmelbett des anderen Schlafzimmers (kleiner Balkon, Dusche und begehbarer Kleiderschrank) nächtigten. Das Wohnzimmer ist großzügig und verfügt u.a. über einen Flachbild-TV (leider keine deutschen Programme) und einen DVD-Rekorder.
Der Pool ist ausreichend groß, war allerdings - für uns überrschend, da wir am Saisoonende dort waren - auf der "erfrischenden" Seite. Es gibt ein hübsches Poolhaus mit separatem Kühlschrank und Gefrierfächern.
Hervorzuheben ist der der tolle und freundliche Service der Eigentümerin. Beispiel: Nachdem die Fernbedienung des DVD-Player nicht funktionierte wurde sofort ein ganz neuer Player angeschafft und das, obwohl ein DVD-Player gar nicht zum versprochenen Leistungsumfang gehört.
Von Utraca zum nächsten Strand sind es mit dem Auto gut 10-15 Minuten. Il Rousse ist ca. 30 Minuten entfernt und hat einen großen Supermart (es gibt auch einen Super-U in Ponte Leccia, doch der ist nicht so toll!). Gut erreichbar ist St. Florent (40 km) und Calvi. Wir haben auch einen großen Ausflug durch die Berge nach Porto und Viizzavona gemacht, doch dass ist bei den toll angelegten, aber kurvigen und z.T. schlechten Straßen auf Korsika eine Tortur für Fahre und Mitfahrer.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Ruhig gelegenes Haus für die ganze Familie. Trotzdem mitten um Dorf. Wir haben eine sehr erholsame Zeit dort gehabt. Jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und die Vermieterin sehr unkompliziert. Wir kommen wieder!!!

Vicinity of the holiday home: Wanderwege zum Nachbardorf Lama nutzen. Der Bäcker liegt oberhalb des Dorfes, sehr leckere Biscuits und Brote.
free time activities: Ca. 10 km zu den Stränden Ostriconi und Lozari.
shopping facilities: Bäcker im Dorf. Ansonsten muss man die Supermärkte in Ile Rousse und Ponte Leccia nutzen.
