On the coveted western side of Cap d’Antibes, this charming Provençal villa — parts of which date back almost 200 years — beautifully blends period character with contemporary comfort. Beneath beamed ceilings and within graceful, light-filled rooms, the home carries the patina of history while offering every modern refinement, the whole framed by mature, manicured gardens and glimpses of the sea beyond. The ground floor unfolds with a welcoming living room with fireplace, a dining room, kitchen, library, and an en-suite bedroom — gracious spaces that open naturally toward the gardens and terraces. Upstairs, a principal suite enjoys its own bathroom, dressing room and private terrace, accompanied by four further en-suite bedrooms — generous accommodation for both family and guests. Outdoors, a bamboo-shaded pergola overlooks the pool, creating an inviting setting for al fresco dining and entertaining throughout the long Riviera season. The garden is graced by remarkable centuries-old olive trees, which still produce the estate’s own olive oil — a rare and poetic link to the land. Manicured topiary, stone fountains and classical parterres complete this enchanting Mediterranean setting. A complete suite of amenities ensures comfort and wellbeing: a professional tennis court, a fully equipped gym, a sauna and a hammam. A separate guest pavilion offers complete privacy for visitors. All of this lies just a short walk from the pristine beaches of Cap d’Antibes — one of the most exclusive and timeless addresses on the entire Côte d’Azur.
Cap d’Antibes is one of Europe’s tightest super-prime markets: the French deed register (DVF) records 21 villa sales at €10 million or above on the Cap since 2014 — €404 million in aggregate, at a €13.9 million median.
Presented by Elena Agueeva’s office — publisher of deed-verified market analytics for the Riviera ([hidden information]), with €180.6M in register-documented sales. Discreet viewings arranged; qualified buyers may also consult the office’s off-market register.

Antibes occupies a singular position on the Côte d’Azur, sitting between Cannes and Nice on a peninsula that has drawn artists, writers, and wealthy residents for well over a century. The old town, enclosed by Vauban-designed ramparts, gives the city a historical density rare on this coastline. Cap d’Antibes, the pine-covered headland to the south, is among the most prestigious residential addresses in France, long associated with discreet, large-scale private estates set back from the sea.
Daily life in Antibes centres on the Marché Provençal on Cours Masséna, open every morning. The old port offers restaurants including Le Vauban and Chez Juliette. Juan-les-Pins, immediately adjacent, provides beach clubs and a casino. The Cap itself is a short drive from the town centre and its services.
Antibes is served by its own train station on the main Marseille to Ventimiglia line, with direct TGV connections placing Paris within five and a half hours. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometres away, around 25 minutes by car, and operates direct routes to most major European cities and long-haul destinations. Cannes is 12 kilometres to the west, and Monaco is roughly 40 kilometres to the east.
