Let’s start the New Year off with a most quintessential French Riviera property.
I rarely spotlight individual properties in the Côte d’Azur, but this holiday villa in the stunning Villefranche-sur-Mer is truly a masterpiece.
Having worked with luxury properties for sale and rent across the French Riviera for nearly 14 years, I can confidently say that few homes stand out and inspire as much as this villa does.
Originally built in 1902, this panoramic sea view villa perfectly captures the timeless charm of the Côte d’Azur. Despite its majestic presence, stepping onto the property feels both inspiring and calming, offering a unique blend of serenity, elegance, and understated luxury.
Fast forward to today, after an 18-month renovation, this grand dame has been lovingly and meticulously restored to her former glory—only now, it also comes with every modern convenience imaginable.
It’s the details that matter and that have brought back to life this outstanding property within a quick walking distance to the sandy beach and Mediterranean Sea.
Let’s start with the outdoor amenities of the property.
The swimming pool, a serene and elegant oasis, feels like a world of its own just steps from the villa. Nestled within a beautifully landscaped garden, it offers breathtaking views of the horizon, inviting you to unwind at any time of day or night. Elegant loungers surround the pool, providing idyllic spots for ultimate relaxation.
Featuring a charming fountain and expansive open terraces, the villa effortlessly combines elegance with a relaxed ambiance, making it ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. Just a few steps above the dining area lies an intimate garden brimming with vibrant flowers. With a myriad of blossoms in full bloom and the gentle chirping of birds, this garden offers a tranquil retreat—perfect for unwinding or immersing yourself in a good book.
The indoors of the property are where guests comfort is at its most optimal.
Here, it feels as if you’ve stepped back into the golden age of the French Riviera, yet with modern conveniences seamlessly at your fingertips. Achieving this balance is no small feat, but this superb villa delivers it to perfection, and is able to accommodate 8 to 10 guests.
The villa’s ground floor is designed for socializing and relaxation, featuring a spacious dining room and lounge area, a separate living room, along with a grand, fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen area boasts an expansive island perfect for gathering, along with a wine bar and a cozy coffee corner. Each of these spaces flows seamlessly onto the sea terrace, offering a truly sublime experience.
The main house boasts four beautifully designed, sea view en-suite bedrooms, each providing ample space for rest and relaxation.
For added convenience, an independent, one bedroom apartment on the garden level offers a private and comfortable retreat, ideal for accommodating staff. Guests can also make use of the well-appointed pool house, complete with a shower room, gym equipment, large flat screen TV, and a convenient mini-fridge.
Upon arrival, you’ll be personally welcomed and have the opportunity to ask any questions. A dedicated Villa Manager is available five days a week to ensure your stay is seamless. Additional services, such as daily housekeeping, driver, and a private chef, can be arranged upon request.
The villa also offers secured parking for up to three vehicles, weekly grounds maintenance, and 24/7 video surveillance for peace of mind.
