Directly opposite the old town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, as you look across the bay, is a peninsula named Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. This peninsula is home to one of the some of the glitz and glamour that the French Riviera is notorious for, with many celebrities staying in the grand hotels there, whilst they sail around the coastline in lavish two and three-storied yachts. But who says you can't have a taste of the high life too?
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is a timelessly elegant, grand villa, influenced by the Italian Renaissance. It was the winter home of Baroness Ephrussi de Rothschild in the early 20th century, daughter of the banker Alphonse de Rothschild. It overlooks the bay, and is famous for its exotic and decorative gardens, where you will find a musical water fountain. You can reach the villa from Villefranche-sur-Mer via bus 15, from the stop named Leopold II. It takes 15 minutes, and costs €1.50. You will disembark after 11 stops at La Rade.
Entry to the villa and gardens is €16, and free for visitors with disabilities. Make sure you admire the many different gardens, including the Spanish, Florentine, Japanese and Rose gardens, before taking in the view of Villefranche-sur-Mer across the bay.
