A Contemporary Villa Above the Bay of Villefranche

From its wooded hillside setting, the residence looks across deep blue water to Cap Ferrat, the sheer limestone cliffs of the coast and the open Mediterranean beyond. Newly completed, this villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer combines clean horizontal lines, generous overhangs and glass balustrades with floor-to-ceiling glazing that draws the horizon into the principal living spaces. Positioned between Nice and Monaco, it pairs a private setting with ready access to both.

The interiors pair richly figured walnut cabinetry with pale natural stone to create a palette that feels warm without heaviness. Full-height glazing floods the principal rooms with light and opens them onto a broad terrace, a level lawn and an infinity pool that appears to merge with the bay below. Each bedroom suite includes its own walnut-lined dressing room and stone-clad bathroom. A separate staff apartment provides self-contained accommodation for household personnel, ensuring seamless day-to-day service. Newly finished and ready to be furnished, the villa awaits its first owners.
