Casamanara signs a remarkable interior creation

A prestigious property enhanced by Monaco’s renowned design studio

Cap d’Antibes, May 2025 – A true haven of refinement on one of the French Riviera’s most iconic sites, Domaine de la Belle Étoile reveals a new level of luxury and elegance thanks to the creative vision of Monaco-based studio Casamanara. Commissioned by acclaimed developer Caudwell, this exceptional residential estate blends contemporary architecture, bespoke design, and cultural heritage, offering a unique turnkey residence on the international property market.

A spectacular main villa and two guest houses

Set on 1.5 hectares of landscaped gardens overlooking the Port de l’Olivette, the main villa “La Belle Étoile” (approx. 1,320 sq.m) offers a spectacular art of living, featuring five reception lounges, six suites, a spa, a home cinema, two kitchens, a bar, a family dining room, and a 23-meter fully glazed swimming pool. Two additional guest houses complete this extraordinary estate, including Villa Céleste, a meticulous conversion of the former 1920s tennis club house.

A glamorous legacy revisited with contemporary flair

Formerly the Hôtel Provençal Tennis Club, the estate was a famed retreat for the international elite between the 1930s and 1970s, welcoming icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, and Jackie Kennedy. This glamorous legacy has been reinterpreted by Casamanara with both sensitivity and modernity.

A unique, bespoke design project by Casamanara

Led by sibling duo Piero Manara and Debla Manara-Berger, Casamanara has delivered a fully bespoke interior, combining custom-designed furniture, noble materials, and a palette inspired by the Mediterranean sky and sea. Creations from their Casamanara Edizioni line blend seamlessly with iconic pieces such as Victoria Wilmotte’s “Pli” table, textiles by Pierre Frey, Elitis, Dedar, and refined details by Lalique, Turnstyle, and Foglizzo — all in a subtle harmony of textures and tones.

“Our intention was to create a peaceful retreat where each space — from the intimacy of the suites to the grandeur of the main salon — would share the same narrative, deeply rooted in the soul of the Riviera”, explains Piero Manara.
