Book the Villa Kérylos, the hidden pearl of the Riviera
Emmanuel Pontremoli's masterpiece
The result of a meeting between an erudite patron of the arts, Théodore Reinach, and a talented architect, Emmanuel Pontremoli, and designed between 1902 and 1908, the residence subtly combines antique luxury with the modern comfort of Belle Époque villas.
On the shores of the Mediterranean, this "swallow of the seas", whose encounter is a happy omen in Greek mythology, is an exceptional tribute to ancient Greek civilization.
Villa Kerylos was conceived and designed as a total work of art. The richness of its decorations and the refined elegance of its furniture create a luxurious and unique atmosphere.
An exceptional decor for your reception
A jewel floating on the Mediterranean, Villa Kerylos is an exceptional Belle Époque residence. A few kilometers from Nice, this masterpiece by architect Emmanuel Pontremoli, a tribute to ancient Greece, will make your event a divine odyssey.
Out of sight, you can organize your business cocktail in its fabulous garden, suspended between sky and sea. Or enjoy a timeless dinner in the majestic Galerie des Antiques.
Exceptionally, the Villa Kérylos can be partially made available for the organization of events. Only certain areas are accessible, outside the public opening hours. Respecting the image of the monument and the will of its founder, the events must be compatible with the reception of the public and guarantee the good conservation of the monument as well as of its collections.

I visited Villa Kérylos today and was deeply disappointed by the unprofessional and discriminatory behavior of the ticketing staff. According to both the official website and the notice board at the entrance, visitors aged 18-25 who reside in EU are entitled to free entry, regardless of nationality.
As a 25-year-old student residing in France, I presented both my valid student ID and my French residency card to prove my eligibility-something that has never been questioned in any other museum or cultural site across the EU. Yet, the lady immediately dismissed me, asking me about my nationality, claiming I wasn't French and therefore couldn't benefit from the free entrance.
I politely pointed out the exact sentence on their own entrance sign, which clearly states that 18-25 students residency in France qualifies a visitor for free admission, regardless of nationality. Instead of admitting the mistake, the staff ignored me, continued talking to another customer, and then, after realizing I was right, threw my ticket at me without apologising.
It's not about the money-it's about my right as a student to enjoy the benefits afforded by the French government. And as a student who always appreciates such policies, I typically donate money or purchase something from the shop to support the museum, showing my gratitude.
I sincerely hope the management team can properly train their staff, not just in reading and applying their own admission policies, but also in basic professionalism-and, dare I say, ensuring they treat all visitors equally, regardless of nationality. After all, in a villa that celebrates the grandeur of Greek civilization, one would expect a bit more cultural openness rather than a closed-minded attitude from the Dark Ages.
Would I recommend visiting? Sure, it's a pretty villa, but be ready fight for your rights at the ticket counter before even stepping inside!
Absolutely not worth the money. 14 €. Nothing interesting nor beautiful to see. And the audioguide seems like the rich man himself giving information only to worship himself and his architect's great work of architecture which is not great at all. Nothing to do wirh greek ancient culture, I didn't find it beautiful at all.
One of the most unique and incredible villas one can tour on the French Riviera. The 1900 conceptualization and modernization of an Ancient Greek villa, in very good taste. Well worth a detour to visit.
A stunning villa a bit less know then Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. The villa itself is just as stunning but lacks the garden. A lot of details to take in and admire, best visited on a day with less visitors. Overall highly worth a visit
