Atypical and unusual homes: why do we love them so much at Casalino?

At Casalino, our passion for the regions of France and unusual places with a soul has led us to present an exceptional selection of unusual and atypical homes.

If you're looking for unique travel experiences, our selection of atypical homes will transport you to off-the-beaten-track locations, such as a Genoese tower in Southern Corsica, a luxury refuge in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, or a house perched in a village in Provence. Find out why these are real favorites!

Atypical homes: originality as a selection criterion

At Casalino, we believe in the magic of the unusual. Whether it's a historic mill in the middle of nature, an atypical contemporary home or a traditionally renovated barn, we offer you the chance to travel to exceptional places and discover authentic, isolated locations. This uniqueness is not only a selection criterion, but also the key to your unforgettable experience in an unusual place.

Discover our French regions through atypical homes

At Casalino, we believe that the home becomes the destination, whether it's a mill on the Isle of Batz off the coast of Brittany, an olive grove or a renovated hamlet in a nature park, each atypical home is an opportunity to discover the full diversity of the French landscape.

France's regions abound in hidden treasures, and our selection of unusual and atypical homes offers you a unique insight into these little-known treasures. From the picturesque charm of the villages of Provence, to the majesty of the Auvergne volcanoes, to the rugged beauty of Corsica, each region reveals its authentic character through our carefully selected properties.

Escape routine with our atypical homes

When you choose to stay in one of our atypical homes, you leave your everyday life behind. Whether you're immersed in a house in the heart of a village where every street tells a story, or feet in the water in a fisherman's cottage by the sea, Casalino offers you the opportunity to experience suspended moments far from your everyday life.

While comfort and convenience are essential, our atypical homes offer much more than that. They transport you to a true escape, a pause in time where every moment is precious. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves breaking on the rocks, or enjoying the crackle of a roaring fire in a chalet facing Mont Blanc. These experiences are within reach thanks to Casalino.

An atypical home to create unforgettable memories

Our atypical homes provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments with family, friends or couples. Imagine yourself on the terrace of a house on the water, by the fire in a mountain chalet, or enjoying the calm of nature in a sheepfold in the Corsican maquis. All these special moments are an opportunity to create memories with friends and family that will last a lifetime.

At Casalino, we're passionate about discovering France from a new angle. Our atypical homes are carefully selected to offer you an authentic experience in sometimes little-known regions. You'll have the opportunity to sample local cuisine, explore picturesque markets and immerse yourself in the local culture.

We understand that finding the perfect vacation home can be a daunting task. That's why we're delighted to be able to share a selection of unusual homes across France
