Tucked away in the lush hills of Cannes, far from the buzz of the Croisette yet immersed in Mediterranean serenity, a private villa has undergone a thoughtful renovation. This precise intervention aimed to enhance the existing architecture and bring new life to interiors that no longer reflected the tastes and lifestyle of the owners.
The project touched every part of the home, starting with the entrance, which opens onto a large living room overlooking the garden and pool. Contemporary furnishings with clean lines were chosen to subtly complement the stunning view. Sculptural lighting emphasizes the generous ceiling heights, while marble plinths frame and elevate the clients’ carefully curated art collection.
Adjacent to the living room, the dining area is defined by a white grand piano and a statement dining table—its geometric metal base topped with an elegant slab of marble, a material that recurs throughout the villa.
The kitchen was entirely redesigned to combine comfort with visual clarity. Split into two functional zones, the first is clad in walnut and marble, offering warmth and hospitality, while the second, more discreet, supports the main space with a cleaner, more minimal approach.
On the same floor, a private gym overlooks the lush park through large windows. A spa area featuring a hammam and sauna is entirely clad in exquisite Calacatta Viola marble—refined, elegant, and rich in character.
Upstairs, the sleeping quarters are reached by a staircase with a hand-forged iron railing. All bathrooms have been redesigned, starting with the master bath, now featuring a large freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Calacatta Viola marble takes center stage again, this time paired with burnished brass details on the fixtures and shower frame.
The master suite was conceived as a warm and welcoming retreat. Rich materials, a built-in fireplace, and an antique mirror placed above it create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The remaining bathrooms reflect the clients’ desire for natural, tactile finishes, with warm travertine chosen as the defining element.
The transformation continues outdoors, where a panoramic pool looks out over the park. A sunken lounge area was designed to one side, forming an intimate conversation space with a central firepit anchoring the composition.
This was not a radical overhaul, but a refined recalibration—one that brings harmony to the spaces and allows the villa to breathe new life. A home where luxury is expressed through comfort, coherence, and personality.
