The villa has been beautifully restored and features a large patio, richly decorated rooms and private apartments. It houses a priceless collection of royal Sèvres and Vincennes porcelain. You can also watch a film: a documentary telling the story of the magical villa and its collections (in French and English).
In addition, the estate boasts nine stunning gardens, adorned with patios, fountains, ponds, flowerbeds and shady pathways. The views over the bays of Villefranche and Beaulieu-sur-Mer are breathtaking. Audio guides are available. Bringing your own lunch is not permitted, but it is possible — and highly recommended — to purchase a ticket with a lunch package, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed picnic in the villa’s gardens.
