Villa Kérylos Beaulieu-sur-Mer

I just returned from the South of France where among other amazing sites I visited the villa Kerylos built between 1902 and 1908 by Théodor Reinach on the Cote d’Azur village of Beaulieu. The planning of the villa alone took architect Emmanuel Pontremoli 6 years including 2 years of research in Greece and Italy. 

Théodor Reinach’s vision was to build a Greacian villa on the breathtaking site of Beaulieu’s seaside. The result is a modern version of an antique Greek home including the furniture and lighting.

The scale of the project, the attention to detail and overall  imagination reminded me of other grand homes such as Olana, Church’s home on the Hudson.
