At the edge of the sea, facing the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, the Villa is a magic place that takes you back in time.

Did the architect ever even visit Greece? I think he must have gotten inspiration from books and dreams. More

The Villa Kerylos and the Villa Ephrussi nearby can be visited using a single, fairly pricey ticket. Both sites provide visitors with excellent audioguides, which allow you to find out about the rooms and contents, but also to branch out if you like and discover more. The Rothschild villa is the more splendid - especially the gardens - but since... More

It is a really proper Greek villa in the middle of French Riviera. It's a very good example if you want to see how Greek houses looked with all the decorations and furnishing. Audioguide is free, however the ticket is rather expensvie. You can get the combined ticket with Villa Eprusi (where you can walk, its about 20-30 mins walk... More

I'd like to highly recommend a visit to Villa Kerylos. Easily missed from the road, the villa provides an intriguing insight into a traditional Greek home. The condition of the interior is extremely good and includes an impressive selection of artefacts. The views from gardens are superb. More

A well preserved villa and it's interior dating from the very beginning of the 20 th century. The former owner saw the piece of land, it reminded him of Greece and he bought it to build a very beautiful villa with a unique interior. Furniture, materials and finishing ...........done with extreme care AND good taste." Ca vaut le détour "... More

I have visited the Villa Kerylos several times and I love everything about it. Beautiful gardens, marvellous architecture, stunning murals, lovely period furnishings and the most extraordinary private rooms, especially the marble bathrooms. The museum in the basement right at sea level is also a marvel, and the location is perfect. It's easy to get to by bus or train... More
