This luxurious Belle Epoque villa is located in the tranquil heart of Cap Ferrat,
on the Côte d'Azur midway between Nice and Monaco (each 15-20 minutes' drive away).
Built in the 1860s and lovingly restored in 2004, this home consists of a completely
renovated villa and an adjacent guest house, which surround the central terrace and
fountain areas. Both the villa and the guest house stand at the highest part of the gently
sloping, terraced gardens, offering enchanting views of the sea and the
spectacular perched villages of Eze and La Turbie. The property benefits from gently
cooling sea breezes and is situated perfectly for access to the coastal walkways. The
coastal footpath follows the shoreline of Cap Ferrat, leading to secluded swimming and
picnicking areas on the rocks, or to the busier public beaches—all with excellent
restaurants. There is also a lovely winding sea-level path leading from the center of the
village of St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat into Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
The peninsula of Cap
Ferrat is a virtually private enclave of elegant villas with a sprinkling of luxury hotels. It
is the destination of choice for those who want the very best that the Riviera
has to offer without the crowds of Cannes, Nice, or Monaco. A short drive will bring you to
the sophisticated restaurants and nightlife of these, and other, hot spots. The Nice
International Airport is only 12 miles away via the Promenade des Anglais.
Ideal for three couples traveling together, these spacious accommodations include 3
double bedrooms, each with a luxury en-suite bathroom, 3 separate living rooms, and a
fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The main villa has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms;
the guest house includes the third bedroom and bath. The renovation has made extensive
use of reclaimed materials, imported Italian tiles, and handcrafted details. The property
is surrounded by attractive, well-planted gardens with classic Mediterranean plants and
flowers, as well as lofty old shade trees. The grounds (of 1,600 square meters) are
enclosed by old stone walls and mature hedges. Access for vehicles and pedestrians is
provided by two electric gates, ensuring your privacy. There is ample car parking at
each gate. Both the villa and the guest house are well equipped with dinnerware, cutlery,
glassware, and household linen. The property also features satellite TV, DVD, and
stereo systems; dishwasher, washing machine, microwave oven; teak sun loungers
and large white sun umbrellas.
