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

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

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

This exceptional residence is organized around several entrances, the main one being through a superb marble porch opening onto a spacious marble vestibule, leading into a grand double living room, a dining room featuring two beautiful period fireplaces opening onto a terrace, a kitchen with an incredible culinary space thanks to its equipment and fireplace, and direct access to a vast terrace, finally 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 a private terrace, three bedrooms with fireplaces, and a room on the top level designed as a nursery/sitting room and the belvedere. This exceptional property is ideal for family moments.

This sumptuous residence is a testament to the seaside history of the Côte d’Azur and constitutes an ideal living space: it is bathed in light, has benefited from magnificent renovation, and features sophisticated design. This exceptional property is appointed with prestigious materials: light and dark marble floors, fruitwood marquetry, marble moldings and fireplaces, and the original elements have been preserved: wooden entrance door and art ironwork, ornamental paintings, arched windows, preserved parquet floors. Particular attention has been paid to the bathrooms, shower rooms, toilets, lighting design, and home automation.

The villa's belvedere offers an exceptional 360° view of the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif de l’Estérel.

The basement houses a relaxation area with a game room, cinema room, wine cellar, tasting cellars, laundry room, and technical room.

Another 60m² house completes the property: it has also been fully renovated and furnished to accommodate friends, guests, caretakers, or designed to install a spa area, a fitness center, or a golf simulator.

The remarkable 6,623 m² park is adorned with magnificent Mediterranean species: majestic cork oaks, imposing cedars, slender cypresses, traveler's trees, fig trees, exotic palm species, and other plantings. It features an infinity pool, several south-facing terraces to enjoy the Azuréen climate, an outdoor fitness area, and a parking lot.

Finally, a *guinguette* with its pétanque court adds a unique touch to this exceptional living space.

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

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