The Villa:
The Salon seats a cozy half dozen or you might want to pull over some of the 6 Provencal dining chairs. Décor is most attractive with the yellows and blues of Southern France, all bright and welcoming. 3 Sets of Large Double Doors open off the Living and Dining Rooms onto the Patio/Garden. Electric Shutters are located throughout as well as Electric Sunshades on the Patio Side. You’ll enjoy a couple of chaise lounges on the patio as well as a teak outdoor dining set with six chairs. The large entry/office offers a futon for overflow guests as well as an antique chest for closed storage for personal items of guests or the top doubles as a buffet for serving large groups. A security system protects your valuables while you're away.
Separate Formal Dining overlooks the gardens and has a sea view!
Both Bedrooms are light and inviting, offer more than ample storage and have their own attached baths. The master has a fixed telephone as does the office.
The Garden:
Enjoy a chaise lounge in the garden and you’ll discover why artists and writers have been drawn to this area for decades! The colours and light are magical! You couldn’t find a better place to write, paint, read or celebrate a special occasion. And the “promenades” around Cap Ferrat are divine. A tough decision each day is which of the half dozen beaches to visit – two in Beaulieu, several on Cap Ferrat & Villefranche—all within an easy walk. Or would you rather lounge on the patio watching yachts come and go from the harbours in Beaulieu & St. Jean. Each day is deliciously rich in the sights, smells and textures of Southern France. Don’t come if you don’t want to be in love!!!
(The gardens wrap around the flat and are spacious enough to entertain a large number of guests. Olive, Bay and Palm trees provide filtered shade. The sun does not shine or glare into the rooms of the villa yet moves from side to side providing beautiful light from dawn until dusk.)
The Area:
Water and inland sports abound. You're a short walk from yacht, boat and bicycle rentals, tennis club, parasailing, diving & beaches. Alpine skiing/hiking & golf are easy drives in several directions. Beaulieu offers its own Gambling Casino and movie theatre. Trains and buses are just steps away for exploring the Cote d'Azur from St Tropez to the colorful Friday market in Ventimiglia, just across the border in Italy. Explore the charming perched villages of St Paul de Vence & Eze or ski/hike in the arriere pays. Concerts, Theatrical Productions, Antiques, Chic Boutiques are abundant. Youre totally surrounded by food, art, wine and the hypnotic Mediterranean culture. The location of Beaulieu sur Mer is very special indeed! Long a playground for Kings and Princesses! You'll discover why!!
