Villa O in Cap Ferrat
Villa O is a contemporary rental home located in Cap Ferrat in southeastern France.
Full description after the photos….




















Villa O in Cap Ferrat:
Palms and pines line the winding route down into St Jean. Pass the pretty bars and restaurants, the beret clad artists, Jean Cocteau street sculpture, the port filled with sleek yachts and families on the sandy beach. The chauffeur turns up the private road to Villa O. And there it is – tiers of terraces, shields of glass, a tricolor of white walls, cobalt sky and pine green trees.
The light and space are overwhelming. A champagne cork pops and canapés are served on the vast semi circular balcony. Below, a whirl of activity sees your cases brought inside to be carefully unpacked. The villa is beautifully set up to make you feel totally relaxed and totally at home.
There are over 4,500 square meters of gardens. Lavender lined pathways provide panoramic views over the peninsula. A cornucopia of flowers bursts through rockery walls. Olive, Cyprus and eucalyptus trees give shape and shade; jasmine, rosemary and jacaranda perfume the entire estate. Soft, manicured lawns undulate to an aquamarine pool. A wooden footbridge leads to our two bedroom, magic garden, Tent house Suite.
A Balinese style pool house provides shade in which to read, dine or snooze away a hot summer afternoon. Step into the infinity pool that curves around the garden. Cocktail in hand, gaze out over the bay filled with yachts. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be served in your suite, on the terrace, in the dining room, on the lawn or by the pool (either pool of course). Dinner at 8 or a midnight feast with lanterns. Attention to detail is phenomenal because that’s how we like it.

Wow… as I live in Cannes, what I can say this house just fabulous. really rare to see such a beauty contemporary house here. Especially when it came to build a house in South Of France wasn’t always easy to reach a pure perfection as this one (my experience at least). But this is one a truly “chef d’oeuvre”. Love the Balé with green pool, I was wondering why they don’t use a green natural stone, as the one in BVLGARI hotel in Bali But beside the pool love everything…

I could kill for the view, and die for the art collection. If forced to, I could live in this place without ever leaving the premises for the rest of my life! Fabulous!

There is nothing about this house that I do not like. Again, another brilliantly stunning home. The view enhances and does not dominate the home, simply seemless. Easily one of the top five homes I’ve seen on contemporist.

Omg, the view melts my heart!

I’m not a fan of boxed-type dwellings, but this is pretty nice

Very Nice, Loved the Art Collection, and the use of colors, very large,one would never need to go anywhere.
Iam an Artist, and it would be incredible for an Art Studio.

Wow!
I come from a hilly region (no sea view) and I think the way the house hugs the site is one of the best design solution I’ve seen. I wonder where the garage is tho!

Modern, sure, but this could have been build in the eighties.
I could easily stay here a couple of months. If it were my home though, all the ‘art’ and most furniture has to go.

The multiple outdoor living areas are fantastic!

This is my ultimate fantasy. Everything about it. Enough said.

Absolutely breath taking. Especially because it is in the south of France.

Love it, “Scarface” threw me but at least they didn’t include a “The world is yours” indoor fountain. Very well balanced, the cabana and pool are stunning. So much is working here that an Al Pacino headboard might even grow on me!

House looks great but the natural pool

All of that description is nice, but what is the name of the architect ? This kind of realisation needs an autor in the title like the others…

This is a tremendously wonderful house. I wish I had the budget to build such a place and live in such an environment.

The exterior of the villa looks okay to me, but the interior and surrounding view is Stunning!
