Villa Puccinelli – A house perched on the sea. There are houses that one visite.Et and then there are places that one lives in. Villa Puccinelli is one of the latter. Designed in the 1970s as a personal holiday home by the renowned architect Pierre André Puccinelli, this iconic villa is a work of inhabited architecture, suspended between sky and Mediterranean, on one of the few rocky promontories in the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. From the moment you arrive, time slows down. The sea becomes omnipresent. The sound of the waves replaces everything else. Living as if on a boat, without ever leaving land. Here, everything has been designed with the connection to the sea in mind. All the openings face it. The terraces seem to plunge into the water. The garden slopes naturally down to a virtually private beach, accessible on foot from the house. The villa provides this unique and unforgettable sensation of living on a boat, cradled by the light, the sea spray, and the ever-changing reflections of the gulf. At any time of day, the panorama is breathtaking: the old town of Porto-Vecchio on one side, the open horizon of the Mediterranean on the other, and the sun setting the rhythm of your days. An emotional, warm, and timeless architecture. Pierre Puccinelli designed this house around a central point: its round dining room, the true beating heart of the villa. Around it, the spaces flow smoothly, through plays of levels, spiral staircases, organic volumes, and unexpected perspectives. Each room has a soul. Each detail tells a story. You immediately feel at ease, enveloped by an architecture that is both bold and profoundly human. Large spaces for gathering… and preserving privacy. The villa extends over three levels and offers vast spaces while preserving everyone's privacy. It features: 6 bedrooms, all air-conditioned, with private bathrooms and terraces; 2 suites, including the legendary Architect's Suite; Several living rooms with distinct atmospheres; A large games room; A fully equipped kitchen, designed for large gatherings; an infinity pool overlooking the sea; a patio, spacious terraces, and a landscaped garden sloping down to the beach. Each room offers direct access to the sea or the garden, for bright and soothing awakenings. Sleep facing the sea, lulled by the waves. Some rooms leave a lasting impression. The Pierre Puccinelli Suite, the only one on the top floor, is an experience in itself: a round room, a shell-shaped ceiling, 360° views, a terrace suspended above the sea… A timeless haven. La Secrète, the closest to the water, lulls you to sleep to the rhythm of the waves. La Splendide, the architect's former studio, opens directly onto the garden. Each room has its own personality, atmosphere, and intimate connection with nature. Moments to share, for all ages. Villa Puccinelli is also a true home, designed for pleasure and sharing. On the lower level, a large games room quickly becomes a favorite spot: billiards, foosball, chess, a large sofa... An ideal space for late afternoons, cooler evenings, or relaxing after a day at the beach, where children, teenagers, and adults naturally mingle. A privileged setting, blending intimacy and the art of living. Just a 5-minute walk away, the Sporting Club of the prestigious Marina di Fiori development perfectly complements the villa experience. There you'll find a large swimming pool, a children's pool, tennis courts, a restaurant, and social areas. A real bonus for varying your activities, enjoying a sporting activity, or offering younger guests safe and independent play. Also located in the heart of the development is the marina, where you can rent a boat for the day or the week and explore the Corsican coastline: secluded coves, beaches accessible only by sea, and swimming in the open waters... An unforgettable holiday experience. Simple pleasures, now precious. Breakfast as the sun rises. Lunch in the shade of the terraces. Spontaneous swims. Paddleboarding right by the house. Games of billiards, children's laughter, naps, and reading. Sunsets you'll remember for a long time. Here, true luxury lies in space, tranquility, and shared time. And yet, you're only a 5-minute drive from the center of Porto-Vecchio, its port, restaurants, and shops. A rare place, for equally rare memories. A family home passed down and carefully renovated, Villa Puccinelli is for those seeking more than just a rental: an experience, an emotion, a place that leaves a lasting impression. If you're looking for just another villa, look elsewhere.If you are looking for a place you will never forget… you are in the right place.
