Villas Aulivie&Ephrussi

Two Villas, One Unforgettable Horizon – Where Contemporary Edge Meets Provençal Heart

Main Villa Ephrussi – Contemporary Elegance on the Eastern Slope

Just steps from Paloma, Passable, and Fosses beaches, and a short drive from over a hundred Michelin-starred restaurants along the coast, this four-level residence places you moments from the legendary Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and within 20 minutes of Nice’s vibrant center. Welcoming eight guests in four en-suite bedrooms, the villa opens with a dramatic double-height living and dining space—seven-meter ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows framing the bay, and a dining table for ten beneath an ever-changing canvas of sea and sky. Multiple covered terraces extend the living area outdoors, one leading directly to the heated swimming pool and its lounging terrace.

The master suite is a haven unto itself: a vast dressing room, a full en-suite bathroom with separate rain shower, private WC, and direct garden access where dawn breaks over the Mediterranean. Three additional bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite shower room and WC, and all four open onto fragrant gardens that blend jasmine with salt spray. A mezzanine level hosts an office, a lounge with an exterior terrace, and a gaming area—perfect for unhurried afternoons. A professional-grade secondary kitchen allows private chefs to orchestrate gourmet dinners without intruding on the main cooking space.

Entertainment flows effortlessly between the rooftop playground (300 m² of open-air recreation), the poolside bar, and the two covered terraces. The estate includes staff accommodation for two, a passenger lift serving all four levels, and an underground garage for six cars (plus additional parking for the guest villa).

Guest Villa Aulivie – Provençal Soul on the Western Slope

On the opposite flank of Cap Ferrat, overlooking the golden-hour spectacle of Villefranche-sur-Mer Bay, Villa Aulivie unfolds in warm Provençal tones. Eight guests find their rhythm in four serene bedrooms, each gifted with sea views and direct access to a second, infinity-edge heated pool – a quiet oasis that mirrors the changing sky. The open-plan living area is bathed in natural light all day, leading to a fully equipped kitchen and a covered terrace designed for alfresco dinners as the sun melts into the horizon.

Every bedroom in Aulivie comes with its own ensuite bathroom and private WC, ensuring absolute autonomy for couples or older family members. Unlike the main villa’s contemporary sharpness, here textures are softer—lime-washed walls, natural stone, and shuttered windows that whisper the art of slow living. A separate garage for six cars completes the property.

Whether you wake to the crisp light of the eastern slope or linger over sunset on the western terrace, this estate offers the ultimate luxury: choice. Two distinct atmospheres, two private pools, twelve bedrooms in total (including staff quarters), and a seamless blend of shared celebration and secluded retreat.
