Dominating the city, nestled on the foothills of the Estérel and located in the prestigious Valescure district of Saint-Raphaël, Villa Bel Respiro, spanning 500m², is a masterpiece of Belle Époque architecture. This property was entirely renovated in 2024 with modern and luxurious amenities.

Built in 1893, this Palladian-style villa is attributed to architect Pierre Aublé. It harmoniously combines the authenticity of its historic architecture with high-end contemporary features. Its façade comprises a grand gallery whose square columns with Tuscan capitals support a terrace. The balustrades are adorned with Tuscan elements. The pavilion roof is decorated with ridge tiles and a crest. A belvedere crowns the entire structure.

The villa, built on a hillside overlooking the sea, is sold furnished with high-quality furniture and refined, natural décor that has successfully created a unique and warm atmosphere.

This exceptional residence is organized around multiple entrances, with the principal entrance through a magnificent marble portico opening onto a spacious marble vestibule, followed by a grand double living room, a dining room featuring two beautiful period fireplaces opening onto a terrace, a kitchen with remarkable culinary amenities and a fireplace with direct access to a vast terrace, and a study with a fireplace. The villa also offers five spacious suites across two levels with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, including a master bedroom with private terrace, three bedrooms with fireplaces, a top-floor bedroom arranged as a children's dormitory, and the belvedere. This exceptional property is ideal for memorable family moments.

This sumptuous residence bears witness to the seaside history of the Côte d'Azur and constitutes an ideal living space: bathed in light, it has benefited from a magnificent renovation and meticulous design. This exceptional property is adorned with prestigious materials: light and dark marble floors, fruitwood marquetry, marble moldings and fireplaces, while period elements have been preserved: wooden entry doors with ornamental ironwork, decorative paintings, arched windows, and original parquet flooring. Special attention has been paid to bathrooms, shower rooms, toilets, lighting design, and home automation.

The villa's belvedere offers an exceptional 360° panoramic view over the Mediterranean Sea and the Estérel Massif.

The basement houses a relaxation space with a games room, cinema room, wine cellar, tasting vaults, laundry facilities, and technical room.

An additional house of 60m² completes the property: it has also been entirely renovated and furnished to welcome friends, guests, caretakers, or designed to accommodate a spa, fitness center, or golf simulator.

The remarkable 6,623 m² park is adorned with magnificent Mediterranean species: majestic cork oaks, imposing cedars, elegant cypress trees, bird-of-paradise plants, fig trees, palms with exotic varieties, and other specimens. It features an infinity pool, several south-facing terraces to enjoy the Riviera climate, an outdoor fitness area, and parking spaces.

Finally, a waterside pavilion with its pétanque court adds a special touch to this exceptional living space.

It is also possible to acquire an additional plot of land of 2,205 m² offering multiple development and landscaping possibilities, such as a spa, tennis court, or additional villa. Its value is €1,200,000.

Located less than ten minutes from beaches, eight golf courses including two renowned courses such as the prestigious Valescure Old Course Golf & Tennis Club, and shopping, this villa listed in Saint-Raphaël's heritage embodies elegance, comfort, and refinement in one of the most sought-after locations on the Côte d'Azur.
