The sun-washed coastline of the French Riviera buzzes with activity during the summer months. Beach club waiters serve chilled rosé, while skippers in crisp polo shirts deliver yacht guests on tenders to restaurant jetties. Water-front towns and villages such as St Jean Cap Ferrat, Eze Bord-de-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer, capture the essence of the Riviera, with their lively restaurant terraces, boutique stores and busy harbours.
Located above Villefranche-sur-Mer is villa Gaia, a modern six-bedroom villa with views of Cap Ferrat and the glistening waters of the baie des anges. The villa has two pools – one indoor in the spa area, with sauna and gym, and one outdoor, which can be heated and with views of the coast.
Outdoor terraces wrap-around the property, perfect for relaxation and dining, the latter arranged by the villa’s Michelin-trained private chef.
