Embark on a Villa Ephrussi Rothschild private tour. Built between 1905 and 1912 for Baroness Charlotte Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, this magnificent villa is situated on the peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, just outside Nice. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat was once the playground of the world’s jet-set society, frequented by illustrious figures such as King Leopold II of Belgium, Charlie Chaplin, and Elizabeth Taylor. Explore the extravagant villa and its nine gardens.
Learn about the baroness’s eccentric personality and her penchant for acquiring the finest luxuries money could buy. Endowed with limitless riches, Beatrice embellished her residence with a diverse selection of period furniture, sculptures, objets d’art, and masterpieces by renowned artists. Among her vast collection were rare porcelain pieces and meticulously tended gardens, all of which she magnanimously bestowed upon the Academy of Fine Arts in 1933, a year before her passing.
Today, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, along with its meticulously crafted gardens, proudly bears the prestigious designation of Notable Gardens of France. This status stands as a living tribute to the lasting influence of Beatrice de Rothschild and her steadfast commitment to art, beauty, and cultural heritage.
