News from the Riviera

This iconic new development, Palais Maeterlinck is exclusively for sale with the sales professionals at Cote d'Azur Sotheby's International Realty. 18 unique, state of the art residences on the waterfront in Nice.

A Unique History

In the 1920’s, French aristocrat, Count de Milléant began to fulfil his dream of building a prestigious resort in Nice to rival that of nearby Monte Carlo. This ambitious project ‘Castellamare’ was eventually abandoned and the property was acquired by prize winning Belgian author and poet, Count Maurice Maeterlinck. Maeterlinck, who later went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, transformed this abandoned project into an exclusive private home, ‘Villa Orlamonde’ which fast became a glamorous hub for the artists, musicians and socialites who flocked to the French Riviera in the summer months.

Maeterlinck died in 1949 and his palatial home later became the renowned hotel ‘Palais Materlinck’. Hotel operations ceased in 2008 and in 2012 Palais Maeterlinck was acquired by visionary Czech billionaire Radovan Vitek and his international company CPI.  It was Vitek’s intention to transform this iconic building into some of world’s most exclusive homes and to this end he assembled a dream team of experts including Sotheby’s International Realty® for the sale, Ralph Lauren Home for the interior design and furnishing, Barclay’s Bank for purchase financing and JP Gomis Architects for the overall design and architecture.
