Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a Jewel of the French Riviera

With 250 hectares of unspoiled nature between sea and hills, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat offers a truly unique living environment. Its microclimate, secluded coves, and sumptuous estates make it an exclusive and intimate destination, far from the hustle and bustle of nearby seaside resorts.

The Opulent Legacy of the Belle Époque

As early as the late 19th century, European aristocracy and wealthy elites flocked to the peninsula, drawn by its unspoiled beauty and enchanting climate. Magnificent villas were built facing the Mediterranean, nestled within lush gardens filled with exotic plants.

Among the iconic estates of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, many date back to this golden era:

• Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its classified gardens
• Villa Les Cèdres, once the property of King Leopold II of Belgium
• Villa Santo Sospir, adorned by Jean Cocteau
• Villa Baia dei Fiori, featuring original period frescoes

These historic residences, and others we have represented, have been restored with meticulous care, preserving their Belle Époque charm. Rare properties shaped by exceptional craftsmanship, catering to a clientele passionate about art and beauty:

• Grand reception rooms with restored period features (woodwork, stucco, frescoes)
• Spacious bedrooms with panoramic views and en-suite bathrooms
• Professional kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances
• Landscaped gardens with Mediterranean flora and mirror pools

A Generous Nature, a Haven of Peace

At the tip of the peninsula, Pointe Saint-Hospice offers a stunning 360° view over the Mediterranean. This tranquil spot is a haven of discretion, highly sought after by those seeking peace and privacy. Between historic castles and ultra-modern villas, one common thread remains: a shared sense of refinement and exclusivity.

The Christ the Redeemer Statue, an Iconic Landmark

A symbol of Pointe Saint-Hospice, the imposing Christ the Redeemer statue has stood watch over the peninsula since 1903. Commissioned by a prominent local figure, it offers a breathtaking view over Villefranche Bay and Cap Ferrat. A living canvas, to be admired from your terrace or garden.

Our villas and apartments with views of this iconic monument offer a constantly evolving panorama:

La Carrière and Malalongue, A Call from the Sea

On the north side of the peninsula, the La Carrière and Malalongue neighborhoods stretch toward the vast blue horizon. A wild, preserved coastline, accessed by charming cobbled paths and ancient stone stairways. With Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer nearby—and Nice just a bit further—urban life is within easy reach.
