VILLA GAIA

The sun-washed coastline of the French Riviera buzzes with activity throughout the summer months. Beach club waiters serve chilled rosé, while skippers in crisp polo shirts ferry yacht guests to restaurant jetties by tender. Waterfront towns and villages such as Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze Bord-de-Mer, and Villefranche-sur-Mer capture the true essence of the Riviera, with their lively restaurant terraces, boutique shops, and bustling harbours.

Set above Villefranche-sur-Mer, Villa Gaia is a modern six-bedroom villa offering views over Cap Ferrat and the glistening waters of the Baie des Anges. The villa features two pools — one indoors within the spa area, alongside a sauna and gym, and a second outdoor pool, which can be heated and offers stunning coastal views.

Wraparound outdoor terraces surround the property, offering the perfect setting for relaxation and dining, the latter expertly arranged by the villa’s Michelin-trained private chef.

Large French windows provide both views and access to the surrounding terraces and gardens, while the spacious master bedroom on the upper floor opens onto a private balcony overlooking Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Four further bedrooms on the upper floor offer equally comfortable accommodation, each with en-suite bathroom and balcony access, while a smaller queen-size bedroom is also available on the ground floor.
