Villa Lorello

Set on a pretty hillside in southwest Corsica, Villa Lorello is a striking, architect-designed villa where modern design meets natural splendour. Framed by views towards the Bay of Agosta, this sleek, 4-bedroom abode sits within a gated residence just a short drive to Corsica’s glittering coastline.

Inside, every detail has been carefully curated for comfort and style and there is air-conditioning throughout. The open-plan kitchen and dining area flows seamlessly into a bright living room, where windows open out to the terrace for shaded al-fresco dining overlooking the swimming pool.

Four attractive double bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, ensure restful nights for up to 8 guests. Two doubles can be found on the main level, another downstairs with its own little terrace, and the fourth bedroom is accessed externally near the swimming pool.

Outdoors, the villa’s south-facing terrace is a true highlight. Begin the day with coffee in accompanied by the scent of pine and Corsican maquis. Cool off in the gorgeous swimming pool, recline on the sun terrace or simply gaze out to the surrounding woodland and native plants.

Just 3.5km away, the resort town of Porticcio offers all the essentials: a supermarket, butchers, cafés, restaurant and a stunning sandy beach. Look out for summer boats to Ajaccio or a fine day out exploring this handsome Corsican city.

Head to Plage de Agosta, another charming seaside spot with its own array of eateries, watersports and relaxed holiday pace or venture further afield to discover yet more idyllic bays and beautiful scenery all the way along winding roads towards Porto Pollo.

Whether you're unwinding poolside or exploring Corsica’s rugged beauty, Villa Lorello is a sanctuary of modern comfort and sweeping vistas, designed for those who crave space, style and relaxing days by the sea.
