Villa K - New contemporary lifestyle in the Cap d’Antibes

On the western slope of the prestigious Cap d'Antibes, the sumptuous contemporary-style Villa K (formerly known as Villa Karima), designed by the Caprini & Pellerin architecture firm, is located within a private estate, in absolute calm and without vis-à-vis, nestled on approximately 4,000 sq.m of landscaped garden.

A contemporary villa that stands out among its neighbors

Villa K is the perfect demonstration of the harmony between contemporary construction and the natural and protected environment of Cap d'Antibes. Exceptional on the Cap, it stands out for its refined and luminous architectural style thanks to its white facades with rock accents, in contrast to the Belle Epoque villas that surround it. The French Riviera was shaped by the Belle Époque, an era that left an extraordinary heritage as illustrated by the many architectural details of the buildings and palaces that line the Cap d'Antibes. These residences are marked by architectural details borrowed from Greco-Roman and classical styles. The Villa K is a departure from these styles with its contemporary architecture and clean lines. The term "contemporary architecture" encompasses a group of trends that wish to break with the modern style. This trend favors above all the absence of continuity and symmetry in order to strongly oppose all forms of architectural traditions. Another feature of today's contemporary architecture is the use of new noble materials such as glass, wood, brick and metals, both inside and out. Plants have also made their place in contemporary architecture, on the roofs, which is the case at Villa K. A larger and more abundant fenestration is also a characteristic of this architecture. Multiple openings, panoramic windows, window walls, skylights, all are present at Villa K and offer a spectacular view of the Mediterranean and the property. The garden offers a magnificent heated mirror pool, several ponds, fountains and water walls, shaded patios, a pool house and vast terraces opening onto an exceptional sea view with the Lerins Islands and the Esterel massif.

The Villa K

This magnificent residence with very high standard services offers a living space of approximately 700 sq.m with 5 en suite bedrooms (including two vast master and guest bedrooms) and a separate apartment with 2 additional bedrooms. Its first floor opens onto the large terrace overlooking the garden and the Mediterranean. On the garden level, the sleek and design staircase opens onto a double living room with fireplace, a magnificent dining room, a large glassed-in wine cellar, a pleasure kitchen and a service kitchen, as well as several service facilities. A separate apartment with two bedrooms and a living room with kitchen adjoins the wellness area with fitness room and hammam. The property also benefits from a large underground garage with separate access ramp for up to 6 vehicles. Built to a very high standard and using materials of exceptional quality, this superb contemporary villa enjoys a luxurious atmosphere bathed in light and the refined elegance of its Ralph Lauren Home brand furniture. Close to the sea, Port Galice, La Garoupe beach and the Grand Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, the property offers a unique sought-after and intimate location in the heart of Cap d'Antibes.

The Cap d'Antibes, land of prestige

It was around the middle of the nineteenth century that the Cap d'Antibes began to develop. At that time, wealthy tourists from all over Europe, especially from England and Russia, discovered the place and built luxurious mansions. This is why the Cap is mainly dotted with houses of Belle-Epoque style, which makes the Villa K stand out among its peers. The Cap d'Antibes and Juan-les-Pins inspired Francis-Scott Fitzgerald's most famous novel, Tender Is the Night.

An exceptional neighbor: the Grand Hotel du Cap Eden Roc

The hotel next door to the Villa K gives the Cape an additional prestige due to its notoriety. From the 1920s, the hotel was frequented during the summer season by many personalities, from artistic or economic circles. Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso liked to come and paint there. It is also the scene of many love stories that have marked their times, that of the actress Rita Hayworth and Prince Ali Khan, that of Marlene Dietrich and the writer Erich-Maria Remarque, as well as the tumultuous story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor who stayed at the hotel at the time of the abdication of the Duke. Eden Roc is synonymous with intimacy, prestige and history, and thus confers this same reputation to the whole of Cap d'Antibes.
