From its sun-kissed beaches to charming towns, the Côte d’Azur has long been a popular getaway destination—and an even better place to call home. Stars including Brad Pitt and Elton John both have properties in the area, also known as the French Riviera, which spans the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. Now you can, too: a sumptuous villa by the beach in Cap d’Antibes just splashed onto the market for $22.2 million.
Built in the early 20th century, the property features seven plush bedrooms and bathrooms spread across its nearly 6,800 square feet of interiors. It has a charming guest house, and the main house is outfitted with a wellness area that includes a sauna, hammam, and Jacuzzi. And it couldn’t have a better location: It’s not far from the Garoupe Lighthouse, which offers views of the Alps, and the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, which makes a wonderful lunch spot during the summer. Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.

A true Belle Époque masterpiece, the main house has an elegant design. You enter the home through a grand stone staircase with wrought-iron railings and Cypress trees lining the ascent. Once you’re inside, soaring ceilings, ornate wall paneling, and marble or wood floors enhance every room.

The formal living room’s remarkable look sprawls out beneath an ornamental ceiling and chandelier. A stone fireplace mantle, bay window seating area, and gilded molding give the space a regal air. The dining room, too, is fit for a king, and the open-plan chef’s kitchen with cream-hued cabinetry is outfitted to make whipping up meals a breeze. There’s even a dedicated wine fridge to keep your favorite bottles close at hand, but fret not: the property also has a cellar so you never run out of the best vintages in your collection.

Up the grand staircase, the house features four bedrooms with private bathrooms on the second floor and three en-suite bedrooms on the floor above. The lavish corner primary suite has access to a wraparound balcony. The spacious room’s views of the property’s lush landscaping, mountains, and Mediterranean Sea make it a spot you may never want to leave.
The home’s health and wellness spaces are in the basement. A workout area with Technogym equipment is close to the Jacuzzi, sauna, and a hammam to enhance your recovery. There’s also a massage room. Outdoors, a covered patio provides ample lounge space next to the swimming pool and tiki bar with seating space for four. Suddenly, a vacation home in France never looked better.
