This stylish four-star hotel is set in the historic 1760 mansion of Duke Pozzo di Borgo and remodelled with bold contemporary design and swish, neutral-tone furnishings. The bijou patio garden is a welcome bonus in the heart of old Ajaccio. Off-season discounts can make the rates much more attractive.
