THE APTLY NAMED “MOONLIGHT”

Here, time stands still like moonlight over the Mediterranean, the Bay of Villefranche and Cap Ferrat, a stone’s throw from La Leopolda, one of the world’s most valuable properties. Discovering a villa which seems to float in the air, the visitor is captivated by the view of the azure-blue horizon. Let the show begin….

The main villa stands next to a house for guests, giving a total surface area of 1,100 m2 in flat grounds of 4,400 m2 with Mediterranean trees and shrubs. The first villa presents a decidedly contemporary style and noble materials : stone around the pool, for the terraces and in the bathrooms, oakwood parquet floors, stainless steel, metal and glass for the monumental staircase and various pieces of furniture, glass also for the elevator reaching all three floors.

In this “smart” villa, home automation is taken to the extreme. As witnessed by the high-performance security system with screen surveillance of all areas in the property. On entering, the visitor is immersed in the softness of subdued light, then discovers through picture windows the breathtaking view of the Deep Blue Sea, generous and sovereign nature. The very spacious main room opens out to a 20-metre infinity pool. Garden furniture gives precedence to Kettal, Roda, Royal Botania and Tuuci.

The property offers an uninterrupted flow between inside and out. Its elegant contemporary decor is in perfect keeping with the beauty of nature. There where a sublime bay presents its charm, where the Alps peter out to make room for the Mediterranean, into which one of France’s loveliest capes winds its way.
