The village of Eze is situated between Nice and Monaco, and is split into three levels, rising up the steep cliff – Eze Bord de Mer, down at the water’s edge, with its beach restaurants, glamorous villas and laid-back vibe, the medieval Eze Village, perched high up, with fabulous views from Italy to Cannes, and Col d’Eze, high on the Grand Corniche, with its mountain views and jaw dropping ocean vistas. At sea level, Eze Bord de Mer has a pretty residential area close to the water, with high end villas nestling into the hillside amongst the umbrella pines, sheltered by the shape of the cliff as it comes down to meet the sea on either side. Here, we find a luxury villa built on several layers, with spectacular views of the Bai des Fourmis, and within a stone’s throw of the beach.
This superb villa is built to reflect its environment, cascading down the hillside in several layers. The first thing you’ll notice is the fabulous rooftop pool with its bathing area and pool house. From this level the views out to sea are sublime – uninterrupted and with the sun all day – the sea seems to begin just under the pool, and stretches endlessly to the distance.
The main living area is a vast, split level, beautifully lit space, comprising an open plan, fully fitted luxury kitchen, dining area and sitting room, with huge glass doors that slide hidden into the walls, leading to the terrace in front. The sea view from this floor is sublime; uninterrupted, with no vis-à-vis, out across the Bai des Fourmis as it is framed by the green hills on either side – and with the sunshine all day long. Beyond the huge glass sliding doors is the terrace area, with a generous outside dining/relaxation area, blending perfectly with the inside to create one seamless living space.
There are 5 bedrooms, and as you’d expect, the master bedroom has a beautiful sea view and its own private terrace area, most of the other bedrooms also have a stunning sea view and private outside space.
All the floors are served by an elevator, and there’s plenty of practical space to complement the luxury side – there is a laundry room, a linen room, lots of storage spaces and cupboards, and a generous 80m2 garage, with two additional parking spaces. There are 2 independent apartments, for guests, staff, or commercial activity.
The positioning of the villa and its location means that it is completely private, not overlooked or looking down into other properties.
Eze Bord de Mer is a lovely seaside village, with a beautiful stretch of beach which is home to two very cool – and super popular – beach restaurants, Anjuna Beach being famous for its party atmosphere in high season. Eze has a variety of good places to eat, including the family run La Vieille Maison, popular with the locals, Da Rossana, an upmarket Italian restaurant on the front, the Michelin starred La Chevre d’Or in Eze Village, and the wonderfully quirky Mas Provencal, with its stunning dining room full of wonderful flower displays. There are several high profile residents, including Bono from U2 (and the group’s guitarist, who lives next door) who has the famous Villa les Roses behind the beach.
You can be at the Italian border in under 45 minutes, and Monaco in around 15 minutes, while Nice airport can be reached in less than 45 minutes, with direct flights to nearly every part of the world. Nice city centre is just over half an hour away. The area around Eze has many walks and hiking routes to follow, with the relatively flat area of the national park above you – from where you can walk to La Turbie along the cliff top (following some of the original Roman road) or hike further into the backcountry – and stunning walks down the cliff to the shoreline below. From the vantage point of Eze Village up on the hill, you can take the famous Nietzsche path down the cliff, with stunning views of the bay all the way, ending up at the water’s edge. There are In Monaco and Nice there are acclaimed international schools, business hubs and all necessary amenities – both are within a half hour’s drive or accessible by train, which runs from the station in Eze Bord de Mer in both directions.
