When this elegant Roquebrune-Cap-Martin villa was built in the 1920s, the French Riviera was already a coveted destination for the world’s wealthy and artistic.
The Belle Epoque had fueled tastes for opulence and lavishness. Clear blue Mediterranean waters, hillside landscapes and the mild climate drew inspiration-seeking writers, artists and intellectuals.

This villa along the French Riviera consists of the multistory main house and a quaint staff residence set on nearly an acre of landscaped and manicured grounds. Ornate detailed windows, a balcony-topped portico and decks give the private residence the aura of a sophisticated boutique hotel. With more than 6,100 square feet of living space, the property contains 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
