Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
-
The most palatial of all the villas built in the Riviera’s plutocratic heyday was the dream of Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild (1864–1934), a daughter of the wealthy banking family. Its lavish Neo-Classical façade conceals an opulent interior of arcades surrounded by a covered courtyard hung with magnificent tapestries. Superb antiques and sketches by Fragonard also feature, while the gardens are as sumptuous as the interior (see Jardin de la Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat).
