Villa VLF

An exceptional villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer

Perched on the heights of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Villa VLF is a private estate of 1,200 sqm set on 8,000 sqm (2 acres) with panoramic views over the bay of Villefranche, the old town and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The property spreads over several levels, features a small private pine grove with a path giving direct access to the beach, and brings together three distinct villas: a main reception villa, two independent guest suites and an annexe building dedicated to wellness.

The main villa offers 5 en-suite bedrooms with travertine stone bathrooms, walk-in showers and freestanding bathtubs facing the bay. The vast living and dining room opens onto the panoramic terrace through tall picture windows. The open kitchen is fitted with a marble island, a hanging copper batterie de cuisine and an adjoining wine cellar able to store more than 5,000 bottles. The villa also houses a private home cinema and a games room set up on the lower level.

The annexe buildings comprise two independent guest suites with private bathrooms, a caretaker's apartment for live-in staff, and a building dedicated to wellness bringing together a professional Technogym-equipped gym and a hammam. In all, the property offers 7 bedrooms with private bathrooms for 14 guests (excluding staff accommodation).

The outdoor spaces unfold across multiple terraces and open-air lounges, a gazebo and a wooden pergola for meals for up to 14 guests beneath the agapanthus, a heated infinity pool with an integrated jacuzzi, a private professional padel court, a travertine pool pavilion and a panoramic roof terrace with an additional jacuzzi and bronze sculptures. A covered garage and visitor parking accommodate up to 12 cars.

The Mediterranean gardens are the work of Jean Mus, the emblematic landscape designer of the French Riviera for more than 30 years: centuries-old olive trees, terracotta jars, stone pathways, white agapanthus and a private pine grove with a path giving direct access to the beach. Villa VLF is ideal for the Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival, upscale family retreats and corporate seminars for up to 14 guests, a stone's throw from Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Monaco.
