Villa Kérylos : info and guided tour

Introduction to Villa Kérylos

Villa Kérylos is a villa-museum located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, near Èze, on the French Riviera. Inspired by the homes of ancient Greece, it was designed as a scholarly and elegant recreation, offering a rare glimpse into the Greek art of living. Its seaside setting further enhances the feeling of traveling back in time.

The site is famous for its highly accomplished Neo-Greek architecture, conceived down to the smallest detail. Columns, a peristyle, mosaics, marble, and woodwork create a harmonious ensemble where every space evokes Antiquity without becoming a pastiche. The villa combines historical research, refined décor, and craftsmanship, making it a singular site on the French Riviera.

Inside, the visit allows you to admire carefully decorated rooms, mosaic floors, and inscriptions inspired by Greek culture. The salons, the triclinium, and the spaces overlooking the Mediterranean are among the most remarkable features. Villa Kérylos appeals as much for its artistic coherence as for the quality of its cultural presentation.
