Villa Kerylos

A tribute to Classical Greece, Villa Kerylos was designed and built between 1902 and 1908 on a small headland in the Baie des Fourmis in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Far from being a pastiche, for Théodore Reinach, the client, and Emmanuel Pontremoli, the architect, the aim was to create an original work combining the subtlety of classical Greek luxury with the modern comforts of a Belle Epoque villa.

This abundantly illustrated volume examines the history of this unique creation and offers the reader a glimpse of the variety and refinement of its décor.
