About this property
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.
Located on a hillside just 3.5km from coastal Porticcio, this architect-designed villa offers gorgeous views over the Bay of Agosta towards the verdant Isolella peninsula. It is set within a secure and private gated residence, a short drive from idyllic beaches, restaurants and other essential amenities. Ajaccio Airport is 13km away.
Plage de Porticcio (4km) is home to a long stretch of beach lined with seasonal parasols and sun loungers to rent, perfect for lazy summer days or leisurely sunset strolls. The little town offers a small supermarket and butchers as well as cafés, a restaurant and shops. In the height of the season, look out for ferries whisking you to Ajaccio.
Just 3km south lies Agosta, another popular resort boasting a relaxed ambience, sweeping sands, a diving club, watersports and a handful of waterfront restaurants where you can dine with the most beautiful views.
Follow the coastal road south-west and you’ll encounter a string of Corsica’s most beautiful beaches. Don’t miss Plage de Mare É Sole (11km) with its dazzling white sands and pine-shaded coves, or continue along the winding roads to the unspoilt Plage de Cupabia (31km), hidden between cliffs and maquis. Further south, Porto Pollo (36km) is another much-loved seaside resort so loved for its stunning beach and views.
For cultural enrichment, a day trip to Ajaccio (18km), the island’s charismatic capital and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, is just 40 minutes away. Meander through its old town, explore bustling markets, and soak up the historic charm along the marina. Beyond Ajaccio, the Iles-Sanguinaires and the Capo-di-Feno are one of the most visited destinations near Ajaccio, ideal for coastal hiking and incredible natural beauty – look out for boat tours departing Ajaccio.
Venturing south instead, the picturesque hilltop villages of Olmeto (47km) and Sartène (60km) beckon, offering a more traditional Corsican experience amidst olive groves, vineyards and ancient stone houses.
