Villa and Gardens of Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild

Cap Ferrat

Perched like a delightful pink wedding cake, the Villa sits on the only piece of land in Cap Ferrat which has water on two sides. Indeed, water is a central theme to the property, as you will see from the many fountains. The Baroness was so enchanted by the sea that she costumed her gardeners in sailors' uniforms. The garden is composed of nine themed gardens comprising 17 acres.

The gardens are: Rose garden (of course), Exotic garden, Provencal garden, Japanese garden, Stone garden (with antiquities in stone), Florentine garden, French and Spanish gardens, and Sevres garden.

 The Italianate Villa contains many of the original furnishings, dishes and draperies.
