Cap-Ferrat and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Emerging from the lower corniche tunnel, the light skims the stone pines and the bay opens like a chart: Villefranche to the left, Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat straight ahead. It’s a ten‑minute glide from the Citadel to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, where rose scents mingle with sea spray. You wander through Béatrice’s themed gardens laid out in 1907, time your pause with the musical fountains, then head up to the Saint‑Hospice point for a clear view of the coastal path—and, across at Baie des Fourmis, the silhouette of Villa Kérylos.

From there, everything is effortless: your driver handles the roads while you enjoy the moment. Collected from your Villefranche‑sur‑Mer hotel, you settle into a recent, air‑conditioned Mercedes reserved just for you. Flexible stops, unhurried waits during visits, a lunch booking at the port of Saint‑Jean if desired, and a smooth run to Beaulieu for Kérylos before heading back. On these narrow Riviera lanes, having a dedicated driver in Villefranche saves real time: 4 km to Saint‑Jean, another 2 to Saint‑Hospice—each stop connects without stress.
