Château Fantauzzi stands in Morsiglia (Haute-Corse), in the Corse region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built before World War I and completed in 1924 in Morsiglia, Château Fantauzzi represents one of the last grand residences constructed in Haute-Corse by returnees from the American continent. Its architecture stands apart from the neo-Tuscan villas of the previous century through a complex arrangement of towers and turrets, with facades adapted to their orientation. The interior features a monumental staircase organizing a succession of reception rooms and bedrooms on the sea side, without original painted decoration.
