Historical villa with distinct Greek and Egyptian design themes. Very good listening tour. Easy to get to via bus.
I was absolutely amazed by this villa — I didn’t even have enough time to take everything in. There’s so much to see, every detail catches your eye. Everything is done with such taste, and it’s a timeless design — you could easily live in these interiors even today. I truly enjoyed my visit.
Located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, this villa is one of the most incredible monuments on the French Riviera ! It bears witness to one man's passion for the Hellenistic period. It is a unique reconstruction of an ancient Greek residence, boasting all the luxury inherent to its beauty. The site is a true invitation to travel, with extraordinary decor and furnishings in marble, bronze, and ivory that adorn the salons and gardens. Commissioned in 1902, it is the brainchild of Théodore Reinach, archaeologist, patron of the arts, specialist in ancient Greece, and member of the "Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres". Driven by his passion, he commissioned his friend, the architect Emmanuel Pontremoli, a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, to design a villa modeled after those of 2nd and 1st century BC Greece. Both great admirers of ancient Greece, they collaborated, culminating in 1908 in the reconstruction of a house inspired by the noble residences of the island of Delos in the 2nd century BC, a Cycladic island whose architecture is renowned for its use of curved structures such as arches and vaults, adapted for the early 20th century! But Villa Kérylos is not a reproduction; it is a true reinvention. Organized around the traditional peristyle, the villa is constructed using the finest materials: antique stucco, Carrara and Siena marble, and exotic woods for the furnishings. The decoration is sumptuous: mosaics and frescoes are directly inspired by ancient documents, and scenes from famous painted vases adorn the walls, illustrating the great legends of classical gods and heroes. Emmanuel Pontremoli skillfully furnished the Villa with the modern comforts of the Belle Époque: the pool is supplied with water by taps concealed beneath round grilles, windows embellish the facades and bring natural light inside, while mirrors and bidets are hidden within the bathroom decor. Upon his death in 1928, Théodore Reinach bequeathed the Villa to the Institut de France. Then, a year later, the Théodore Reinach Foundation was established.
Amazing experience! The visitor is submerged into a fantasy of living like a Greek god, but with contemporary to the 20th century comforts. Allover very fine and stylish neogreek interior is decorated with the real museum collection of antiques. The views from every window are very picturesque and poetic. Beautiful heritage of a famous archaeologist Theodore Reinach is now accessible for any curious and enthusiastic visitor.
A stunning villa with incredible architecture and attention to detail. The interiors and the seaside location make it a truly unique experience. Definitely worth the visit.
As someone who already visited Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, I wasn't blown away. It is beautiful, however, I don't think I would come again. The price is maybe too high.
Lovely Greek oasis on the French Riviera, really nice decorations, interesting idea behind it, spectacular views from its windows, quiet and unique. I truly recommend! Beaulieu-sur-mer is a gem!
A very exquisite, elegant villa with fine detailed works and every room is a treasure chest. Visiting this place is a must when in Cote d'Azur.

My husband and I had the most incredible day out on the water in the South of France with Captain Simon—it was the highlight of our trip! The boat was stunning, and Simon’s knowledge of the area made the experience even more special. He made sure we were comfortable and taken care of from start to finish, with plenty of stops along the way to share fascinating history and give us amazing recommendations for the area. Simon and Mr. M were both wonderful company, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on the water, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Simon! Much love from Arkansas and Dua Lipa.
We had an amazing time out on the water with Nick and the 42 foot Marilou. This was the best thing we did while in Nice. So many amazing swimming spots and lunch in Plage Mala (not cheap, but an awesome spot with great food.) Highly recommend.
Simon and Mr King were the absolute best! Simon is very knowledgeable about the area and has incredible stories to share. Perfect weather, perfect boat, perfect company, and beyond perfect day! Sincerely grateful for the hospitality and for making our trip so enjoyable. Do not hesitate to book! They are the best in the business. Hugs from New York 🤍
Amazing boat experience! I cannot say enough about this beautiful boat and amazing crew Simon and M. If you are on the fence about chartering this boat- just do it! Our family of 5 with 3 teenage girls had a lovely time and felt incredibly pampered. Our 4 hours flew by. We had several swim spots and great sightseeing along the coast of the French Riviera.
We have an amazing time with our charter. Captain Dean was awesome and showed us all the beautiful places during our charter on the French Riviera. Liga and his charter company was great throughout the process. We highly recommend RENT A BOAT BY HOUR for your next charting experience. We can't wait to schedule our next charter soon!!! Aris John and Sharon.
My family and I had an amazing time on this boat trip. Captain Simon showed us so many villas and told us the history connected to them. He also recommended a number of things for us to do while we are at Monaco. It was a very peaceful yet informative experience, and I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting!!
Everything was so seamless from beginning to end with the help of Liga I was able to book exactly what I needed moths in advance and her communication was great. Captain Simon and king made the boat experience absolutely amazing we were able to swim and enjoy the views. Best experience I had in Nice, can’t wait to go back
We were so impressed with the entire boating experience! We chartered the Fairline Targa 52. The boat was absolutely pristine! Right off the showroom floor. Our skipper, Simon, was experienced and professional. He pointed out all of the highlights along the way with a tremendous sense of humor! We will be repeat customers for sure. Cheers!

Really beautiful beach, stunning views of the rest of the coast. Water is very clean and clear, great for swimming! There’s a shallower section with jellyfish netting too for safety! I personally preferred swimming further out not in the netting but the option is great!
This is a really nice beach with clear water and a great vibe, perfect for relaxing or going for a swim. Just be aware that it can get quite busy, especially in the afternoon or on weekends. If you’re looking for a quieter spot, it’s best to go early in the day. Still, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
A small and quiet beach with a great view, with a special place for kids right in front of the lifeguard’s tower.
The water was very dirty — we swam only once and didn’t want to go back in. The beach itself was quite clean and we didn’t notice any bad smell, but the water quality was awful. Don’t recommend it. ✊🏻
A far more tranquil beach compared with the main beach in Nice. Here it's a semi Sandy beach (course sand) which is far nicer than a pebble beach. However, the U.K. Sandy beaches such as Bournemouth are so, so much better.
Nice small beach with sand ans nice view. There is plenty of space where you can lay with your personal mat, or by the restaurant and pay 20 eur per day for a sunbed.
One of not many not-stone beaches on Côte d'Azur, but with not so clean water. Not very crowded, so good for rest
Clear water, busy and stinky smell. Beware of jellyfish, saw a few.

Beautiful interior, excellent atmosphere, and a genuinely kind and helpful staff. It’s also much less crowded than the casino in Monte Carlo, which makes the experience more relaxed and enjoyable. I always try to stop by at least once whenever I’m in the area. If only my luck had been a little better here—it would absolutely be my go-to spot every time!
Very enjoyable evening from the check-in to the gaming (Black Jack). Friendly staff, affordable drinks, and nice enough to let my wife sit at the table while she learned and I played.
This casino was the worst i have ever seen. As a tourist, nobody are willing to help you. Some staff can not speak English. Really bad experience and never recommend anyone
Arbitrarily turned away for ‘dress code’ despite being dressed in a similar fashion to those inside. Not an easy place to get to so an expensive waste of time.
Went to Sky Beach for Dia de los muertos, music was crazy good, but they were out of Spritz and the volume was just too low. Too bad
Sky Beach - elitist and arrogant. Beaulieu is a beautiful spot on the French Riviera - nestled in between Nice and Monaco - with lots of chic style but still retaining the quaintness of a smaller village This is our third visit here and we decided to treat ourselves to a night out at Sky Beach, part of the Casino. We arrived at about 10pm and it was just getting going, it’s a lovely outdoor setting and the music is funky. I’ve never seen so many bottles of spirits, champagne and rose wine taken to tables with fireworks!! We had a few glasses of rose and vodka and then suddenly a big party of guests arrived and our seats were needed to accommodate them - I kindly offered to move along to the next table but was told that we needed to settle our bill and go - as these tables were for bottles and high spenders. I will never forget the gesture of the manager Lin telling his minion that he needed to get rid of us - sweep to the exit !! Never again will we visit this elitist and arrogant place ... and please sack Lin, he’s a disgrace. He was more than happy to welcome us when we arrived when the club was quiet but couldn’t wait to get rid of us when his high rollers arrived Thank you for your apologetic response, I appreciate it. Trying to be constructive here, it just needed one of team there (and there were many) to explain this to us earlier in the evening when it was quieter or suggest we move to the bar from the ‘bottle’ table. To ask us to settle the bill and leave is not the way to treat any customer. The manager Lin is not a calm person and does not spread calm in his team, I observed him during the evening. He was incredibly disrespectful to us. You will see other similar comments in the reviews. He needs some serious feedback on how to treat customers
Nice spot, the open-air lounge bar is lively (pretty much the only place open late between Nice&Monaco in the summer). Reasonable cocktails, happy dance music, generally classy environment close to the beach.
The best casino I've ever visited in my life. Great staff. Always offer drinks. No crowd. It has windows (!!) with a great view! Smoking room with slots. Must visit place in this area.

Guillaume was an exceptional host! He has set up a truly unique experience for his guests and can be tailored to individual needs. Our 1 hour tour of the Beaulieu sur Mer port and surrounding area was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable parts of our visit to the Cotes D’Azur and highly recommend checking out this tour experience. Directions and communication were also accurate and easy to understand. The electric boat is so quiet and the deck space available is amazing. Saw great sights and enjoyed the sun!
Very cool experience on this solar boat! The captain was kind and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this very unique experience in Nice!
I highly recommend this experience! I’ve been on many boat trips around the world, but this one was truly unique. The solar-powered boat is so quiet that you feel completely immersed in the water, it’s incredibly peaceful. Combined with the stunning surroundings, it creates a magical experience. The captain was polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We had an amazing time, and if we return to this area, we will definitely do it again!
My daughter and enjoyed this relaxing sunset ride on the silent electric boat!!! The captain was very informative about the villas and other buildings in the bay. If you want a way get away from the hubbub take this relaxing ride.
We had a peaceful and scenic ride around the stunning Beaulieu-sur-Mer area aboard the solar-powered SeaZen boat. The experience was both relaxing and eco-friendly, with the quiet hum of the boat adding to the tranquil atmosphere. We enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the region from our guide and even got to try driving the boat ourselves, which was a fun and unique touch. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a serene and sustainable way to explore the coastline!
It was very relaxing, professional and the Lady guide was great and friendly and very kind. We loved her storytelling . My son and I enjoyed the scenery from the sea and silence of the solar boat. Thank you!
I can only agree with all the other reviews on Google, an excellent experience to go out on a tour in the bay with Seazen. We had the privilege to be accompanied by the founder Guillaume who learned us a lot about the area and about solar-powered boats. One of our absolute most memorable experiences on our trip to the Riviera!
Adored our experience. Our captain was so lovely (Lucille) and kind. This was a treat for my daughter’s birthday and we were able to stop and venture into the water for some lovely photos and also took many more photos onboard. The beautiful scenery meant the experience was stunning, relaxing and one to remember. Having our own private boat for an hour was quite an experience and a very good price. We were told about the history of the houses which was lovely to know, and a beautiful touch.
