Since 1924 · 48 rooms & villas

A boutique hotel built on the cliff, between cypresses and the sea. We kept the slow rhythm of the place — and added every comfort you could need.

Our story

We built Velmora for the moments when time stands still: the first coffee on the terrace, the cool water of the infinity pool, sunset light pouring through the arches and a long dinner under the stars, with the sea as the only sound.

Step through

Every arch brings you closer to the sea.

01 · The arches

Light passes through stone

Six travertine arches facing the sunset. Every step changes the shadows on the floor.

02 · The threshold

And then, the horizon

At the end of the colonnade the sea opens like a curtain.

03 · Infinity

The pool that never ends

Water heated to 28°C, spilling straight into the Mediterranean. We'll see you at sunset.

A taste of the coast

Fish caught at dawn, vegetables from the hotel garden and our own olive oil. A seven-course tasting menu served on the terrace above the sea.

About Ostria

A small hotel, on purpose. So we know every guest's name and how they take their morning coffee.
