The timeless citadel old town and the gently curving coastline will imprint themselves in your memory, vividly.

This impressive masterpiece of architecture was the residence of the Baroness Rothschild and intended to showcase her vast collection of more than 5000 works of art – furniture, lamps, oil paintings, tapestries and porcelains from the 14th to 19th centuries. Even more impressive are the 9 stunning gardens on the outside with unique themes – Spanish, Florentine, Japanese and Lapidary to name a few, with plants directly sourced from these exotic lands.
Sitting on the very edge of the water in Beaulieu-sur-Mer and with magnificent vistas of Cap Ferat, is Villa Kerylos. A palace inspired by the noble houses of 2nd century Devos, a Greek island. Replicated to its finest detail with central courtyard, refined décor and monolithic columns in white Carrara marble. Even the surrounding garden is a pure touch of Greece.
