This villa boasts the most exclusive address of the Cote d’Azur, the “Leopolda” neighborhood of Villefranche sur mer.
Less than ten villas, one of which the palace of King Leopold II, founder of the Cap- Ferrat resort in the turn of the 20th century, have this best privileged location of the most acclaimed Mediterranean view.
The “Rade de Villefranche” with its beautiful beaches is a ten-minute walk. From every window, the terraces and garden the constant animation of yachts and cruise ships turn to a permanent attraction. This view is Mediterranean's most visited bay.
Commissioned in the early 1900’s to accommodate dignitaries from the court of King Leopold II of Belgium, this villa has been radically reconstructed to provide the ultimate contemporary comfort and technology while maintaining its old charm thanks to an abundant use of noble materials, all of which enhance the day-to-day living experience.
