Large 16th century house located in Nonza (classified village) in the Corsican Cape

A HOUSE CHARGED WITH HISTORY

Character house dating from the 16th century housing an antique oil mill. It is located in the heart of the village, in the quarter called "Casa quadra" (or barracks) of Nonza and is a real history book. Rented by its owner who had placed himself at the service of the Order of Malta, it sheltered in particular the Lieutenancy of Pascal Paoli during the short period of the independence of Corsica. Subsequently, it was inhabited by Giovanni Mattei, Corsaire in the service of the Viceroy Gilbert Elliot, during the Anglo-Corsican kingdom. The following years, intrepid commanders of the merchant marine or military who participated in the great adventures of their time as the expedition of the Duke of Luynes in the Red Sea, lived there. It also sheltered very famous hosts such as Pascal Paoli, James Cook (discoverer of Australia) and more recently the painter Léonor Fini or the singer Jean Ferrat.
