Villa Nyland

Face to face with the sea. On Cap Bénat, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Côte d’Azur, lies Villa Nyland. Surrounded by old pine trees, oaks and pines that extend down to the beach.
The fact that everything here seems as if time and tourism have stood still is due to the fact that the entire community dedicated itself to the protection of the coast 50 years ago. A heritage that Villa Nyland also upholds, complementing its historic ground floor from 1949 with a modern, restrained structure on top. The house not only blends into the wild landscape, but also into the holistic context of the modernist buildings by architects Lefèvre and Aubert from the 1960s.

The combination of wood, concrete and regional stone from Bormes-les-Mimosas creates a retreat that is closely connected with nature and its elements. At the same time, the house opens up largely to the sea, offering guests an impressive panoramic view. In addition, the floor-to-ceiling windows not only flood the rooms with light, but they also lend structure to the landscape and invite it inside. The reduced interplay between warm, clearly structured wood and cool, untreated stone is also reflected in the interior design, complemented by contemporary furniture and lighting. On two floors, there are three double bedrooms with bathrooms, a laundry, an open-plan living area, a dining room with kitchen and a living room with a custom-built library. Both levels are surrounded by two large terraces to the south, a pergola with louvered doors to the west and a sheltered outdoor area to the east. Thus, at any time of day, there is a spot in the sun as well as in the shade. Accompanied by the chirping of birds from the garden. All that is missing is a swim in the nearby sea to completely immerse yourself in the savoir-vivre.
