Villa Claudine: a Belle Époque waterfront villa in Saint-Raphaël

Nestled between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, Saint-Raphaël captivates with its spectacular coastline and elegant atmosphere, cherished since the Belle Époque. It is within this enchanting setting that Villa Claudine stands, an architectural gem built in 1903 for the lyrical actress Polaire. A testament to the grandeur of a bygone era, this property perfectly embodies the refinement of the French Riviera.

A tribute to Colette and literature

Inspired by her friend, the writer Colette, Polaire named this residence after one of her most iconic characters, Claudine. Set on a 2,225 m² plot, the villa boasts an elegant Palladian-style architecture, enhanced by its exceptional waterfront location.

A preserved architectural heritage

Despite the scars left by the bombings of 1944, Villa Claudine has retained its full splendor. Its 289 m² of living space reveal a triple reception room adorned with period frescoes, an open-plan kitchen leading to the living room, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. The night quarters comprise six spacious bedrooms, accompanied by three bathrooms and one shower room, with the possibility of creating an additional bedroom on the ground floor.

An idyllic seaside setting

Surrounded by a lush garden, Villa Claudine invites serenity with its multiple sun-drenched terraces, an elegant swimming pool, and a rare privilege: direct private access to the beach. It also features a boathouse, a highly sought-after asset on this exclusive stretch of the Côte d’Azur coastline.
