Property in Saint-Raphaël

French Riviera, Saint-Raphaël - "Belle époque" villa, park of 8 828 sqm, swimming pool, close to the golf

Villa Bel Respiro, overlooking the town and set in the foothills of the Estérel in the prestigious Valescure district of Saint-Raphaël, is a masterpiece of Belle Époque style. Covering 500 sqm, it was completely renovated in 2024, combining modernity and luxury. Built in 1893 by architect Pierre Aublé, its historic Palladian architecture has been enhanced by top-quality contemporary features.

The villa, with its majestic façade, features a large gallery supported by Tuscan pillars and a belvedere offering exceptional views. It is set on a hill overlooking the sea, with a refined, natural interior design. The space is spread over four levels, including a superb marble vestibule, a large living room, a dining room decorated with beautiful period fireplaces, an ultra-equipped kitchen with fireplace, and a study with fireplace. The villa also offers five spacious suites, including a master bedroom with private terrace, three bedrooms with fireplaces, and a bedroom converted into a children’s dormitory.

The materials used are of the highest quality: light and black marble, fruitwood inlays, elegant mouldings, and authentic features such as wooden doors and arched windows have been preserved. The belvedere offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif de l’Esterel.

The basement houses a relaxation area with games room, cinema room, wine cellar, laundry room and utility room. A 60 sqm guest house completes the property, which has been fully renovated and furnished.

The 6,623 sqm grounds are a showcase of magnificent Mediterranean species, with majestic cork oaks, towering cedars and slender cypresses, offering an infinity pool, several terraces, an outdoor fitness area and a ‘guinguette’ with petanque court. An additional 2,205 sqm of land is also available, allowing for a variety of features such as a spa or tennis court.

Located less than ten minutes from the beaches and golf courses, including the prestigious Valescure Old Course Golf & Tennis Club, this villa embodies elegance, comfort and refinement, in one of the most sought-after locations on the Côte d’Azur.
