The Villa and its gardens are absolutely amazing. The Vivaldi music in the gardens ,pricelss. The rooms beautifuly decoreated, a paradise.

If you are in the vicinities of Villefranche, Beaulieu, or St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat, then a visit to the Villa Ephrussi is definitely worthwhile, if only to get a sense of the extravagant spending that was afforded by one spoiled and over-privileged lady. The villa stands enviably on one of the most strategic locations on the Riviera, with panoramic views in every... More

Judging from the rave reviews, expected a really immaculate estate and gardens. The villa is in need of some touch ups all around and the gardens could have been more manicured. All in all I did not get the sense that the management took pride in the running of the estate. The views however are incredible and on a sunny... More

I went here with my mother for a day trip and it was fabulous. The house is amazing and the gardens are wonderful to walk through as they have lots of very varied sections. They do fountain shows to music which are enjoyable to watch.

So begin with The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in St Jean - it is simply lovely. With an... More

Your chance to experience the Belle Epoque on the Riviera. This beautifully maintained estate sits high on the ridge with views east and west. The gardens are wonderful and extensive. Music playing with the fountains in the French garden was delightful, but all of the other themed-gardens are great too. Allow lots of time for both house and garden. We... More

A beautyfull building and a lovely garden telling an amazing adventure of a most interesting woman. The villa is filled with antiques. Some totally uniqui. E.g. a carpet from Versailles. In the garden a.o. there is... More
