Villa Morélia

Villa Morélia is a shining example of the eclectic, inventive and fanciful architecture that distinguished the buildings of the late 19th century.

Villa Morélia was built at the entrance to Jausiers by the four Audiffred brothers, former traders in Morélia and owners of the ‘Al Puerto de Liverpool’ shop, and is the work of architect Eugène Marx.

The villa stands out for its astonishing verticality, reinforced by the treatment of the porch and the narrowness of the windows and French windows. The architect was at pains to emphasise the asymmetrical effect of the facades, contrasting the north facade, which has very few openings, with the south facade, which benefits from a very wide opening on the side with the best exposure, thanks to its forecourt.

Villa Morélia is now a hotel.
