Porto Vecchio, Italy

A quieter kind of luxury

The house

Aurelia

A 48-room house on the old harbour, where the sea light comes through tall windows and nothing is rushed. Aurelia was built in 1908 as a merchant’s residence and restored, room by room, over four years.

  • Saltwater pool

    Heated year-round, open from seven.

  • Spa & hammam

    Four treatment rooms and a marble hammam.

  • Harbour restaurant

    Ligurian cooking, forty covers.

  • Roof bar

    Sunset over the breakwater.

  • Walled garden

    Replanted from the 1911 photograph.

  • Private beach

    Loungers and towels, ten minutes on foot.

Rooms & suites

Forty-eight rooms, no two the same

Every room was restored on its own terms — the shape of the building decided the shape of each one.

“Perfect for a long weekend”

Four nights and we barely left. The pool is heated and open early, which suits us. Would book again without hesitating.

“Worth the detour”

We came for two nights on the way south and stayed four. The hammam alone justifies the trip. Ask for a Garden Room if you like being able to walk straight outside in the morning.

“The best dinner of the trip”

Sale is genuinely very good. The branzino for two, cracked open at the table, is the sort of thing you tell people about afterwards.
