7Villa Kérylos, Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Inspired by ancient Greek noble houses, Villa Kérylos stands as an architectural masterpiece that merges scholarship with refined living.

Created in the early 1900s by archaeologist Théodore Reinach, the villa recreates classical Greek design with astonishing accuracy, yet incorporates modern comforts disguised within historical forms. Marble floors, frescoes, mosaics, and airy courtyards create an atmosphere of timeless serenity, reinforced by panoramic sea views. Its gardens, though less expansive than others, enhance the villa’s elegance through subtleness—Mediterranean plants, terraces, and sculptural accents that celebrate proportion and simplicity.
