Located in downtown Ajaccio, the "Corsica Ajaccio Sotheby's International Realty" agency, managed by Frédéric Olivieri and opened in 2023, was immediately integrated into the prestigious "Sotheby's International Realty" network.
Three real estate experts make up the agency's team. With advanced training in the sector and a rigorous in-house approach to work, the team is fully dedicated to serving a clientele with high expectations, communicating in French, English and Italian.
The real estate agency is a true gem, combining the nobility of stone with the charm of ogives. Every detail has been carefully designed, with bespoke joinery adding a touch of exclusivity. The architect brilliantly imagined a monumental eight-meter-long piece of furniture, both elegant and functional, to serve as a reception area.
In addition to specializing in vacation rentals and property management, Sotheby's Ajaccio branch stands out by offering its customers a comprehensive, top-of-the-range concierge service. Firmly established on the Isle of Beauty, our fifteen years' experience enables us to master all the particularities of Corsica's luxury real estate market: from the Gulf of Ajaccio to the Balagne in Haute-Corse, via the Calvi and Île-Rousse areas, the Cap Corse peninsula, as well as Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio.
As a key player in the luxury real estate market, the excellent reputation of the Sotheby's International Realty network has enabled us to carry out successful transactions for all types of exceptional properties: sumptuous villas with sea views or "pied dans l'eau", building plots, character houses and sheepfolds, and luxury apartments.
The Ajaccio real estate market
In the Ajaccio region, the agency's activity is focused on the sale and rental of high-end properties to a mainly French-speaking clientele.
La Corse est dotée de merveilleux environnements naturels, un patrimoine exceptionnel aujourd'hui protégé. À Ajaccio, les quartiers les plus prisés sont la zone intramuros, le quartier des Sanguinaires et la rive sud de Porticcio jusqu'au domaine de la Castagna, une zone côtière qui englobe le versant sud et le versant ouest du Golfe jusqu'à Sagone.
Our prestigious clientele prefer villas by the sea or close to the coast, as well as properties with a swimming pool.
Ajaccio: region and heritage
Ajaccio, originally a Genoese town with narrow streets, has evolved into a bustling capital with a town hall, prefecture and bourgeois buildings built under the impetus of Napoleon 1st.
During the reign of Napoleon III, Ajaccio became a renowned resort, embellished by prestigious buildings such as the Grand Hôtel. Like the rest of Corsica, Ajaccio boasts a rich and varied architectural heritage. The town boasts magnificent buildings inherited from the Genoese era, including a citadel, numerous churches and Genoese towers.
A modern city with an ancient heritage, Ajaccio offers a vibrant cultural life. A stroll through its streets reveals the legacy of Ajaccio-born Napoleon. In the gardens of the Casone stands an imposing monument to his glory. The Musée Fesch houses a collection of works of art by great Italian masters, mainly bequeathed by Napoleon's uncle. The Chapelle Impériale and the Maison Bonaparte also pay tribute to the consul and his family.
The Îles Sanguinaires, an archipelago made up of four rocky islands, are a real natural treasure to be discovered during a visit to the region. They offer mythical, colorful sunsets and exceptional flora. At the northern tip of the gulf, the Domaine de la Parata, a preserved heritage site, offers a breathtaking view. All around the gulf, intimate family beaches invite you to relax.
Ajaccio's hinterland offers some of the finest scenery in Corsica, particularly in the Prunelli and Taravu valleys. It's an opportunity to discover the picturesque villages of southern Corsica, such as Petreto-Bicchisano, Frasseto, Zicavo and Bastelica.
The Isle of Beauty is packed with must-see places to savor its gentle way of life, offering a unique blend of luxury and exceptional views. The 5-star Hôtel Le Maquis is the perfect place to enjoy a drink, right on the water, in an exceptional setting. On the Pointe de la Castagne, the Domaine de Saparella, accessible by sea in thirty minutes, is a unique, unspoilt site. For a timeless experience, we recommend a delicious lobster dinner on the water's edge.
Proud of its Corsican identity, our agency offers an exclusive selection of first-rate properties and is committed to total discretion in real estate transactions
The renowned Sotheby's brand brings exceptional added value to luxury real estate on the Île de Beauté, thanks to its excellent reputation and international reach.
