An ancient palace at the heart of the Belle Époque
Facing the Mediterranean Villa Kérylos is an exceptional residence that pays homage to ancient Greece. Built in the early XXᵉ century on the Beaulieu sur Mer coastline, it embodies the refinement of the Belle Époque while reinterpreting the architecture and decorative art of Antiquity.
Conceived as an original creation blending modernity and ancient heritage, the villa is the work of architect Emmanuel Pontremoli and historian Théodore Reinach, a great devotee of Greek civilization.

Prestigious materials - Carrara marble, exotic woods, mosaics and frescoes inspired by classical gods and heroes - lend the building a unique luxury. The interior courtyard lined with columns, the sumptuous fabrics and the specially designed furnishings all combine to make this villa a living testimony to the spirit of antiquity and the elegance of its time.
The summer residence of the Reinach family until 1966, Villa Kérylos is a listed historic monument and a cultural landmark on the Côte d'Azur.
