St Jean Cap Ferrat is an opulent commune that caters to
international billionaires and refined travelers alike. Located on a
peninsula, next to Beaulieu-sur-Mer in Southern France, noted to be the
apex of the French Riviera's "golden triangle", St Jean Cap Ferrat's
warm climate and ravishing seascapes makes it a perfect location for a
holiday. Picture yourself on the terrace of a well-appointed villa with
azure skies above you and cerulean Blue Ocean beneath you. Breathe in
the rich smells of the ocean as you gaze upon a pristine harbor dotted
with the bright white of lavish yachts. Dine at five star restaurants by
night, swim in warm Mediterranean waters by day.
Most of the Cap
Ferrat's villas are within walking distance of the marina and world
renown restaurants where choosy guests dine on exotic dishes like skate
with capers or estouffade de sanglier. Visitors spend their days
relaxing on the beach or touring the beautiful bay by yacht. Every
August St Jean Cap Ferrat hosts an opera festival, bringing in the elite
from all over the world.
Visitors have a variety of ways to while
away the time. They may visit the zoological park that houses over
three hundred different animals that live in a semi-free environment, or
wander the stretch of the pristine port. There is also the Villa Ile de
France, the mansion built and decorated by the Baroness Béatrice
Ephrussi de Rothschild, which is open to the public and is considered
one of the most beautiful spaces in the world, housing more than 5000
works of art and seven gardens inspired by her travels around the world.
Each garden contains a different "theme", from Japanese to Florentine,
these gorgeous and manicured representations include palm tree lined
walk ways and tropical fragrances sure to take your breath away.
Cap
Ferrat contains three public beaches, a port, numerous restaurants,
parks, gardens, museums, and more. These villas often have private
beaches and marina access, so that visitors to the region are often
treated with more than they ever could have expected. When you stay at
St Jean you are only 10 km from both Monaco and Nice, making day
excursions easy and enjoyable.
If you like to live the life of the
rich and famous and have the money to spare then a 12 bedroom chateau
is the ideal holiday destination for you and your family. You should
also not forget that Cap Ferrat is the priciest stretch of real estate
in France.
Exotic villas can be bought or rented in St Jean
through upscale estate agents that cater to the discerning clientele.
Cap Ferrat's Real Estate is usually marketed through agents who are used
to dealing with multi-national, multi-lingual clientele. There are
online portals available today that can provide detailed descriptions of
luxury villas on their website, and if none of the villas, do not meet
your needs, then their skilled real estate agents will work hard to find
you just that chateau you're looking for.
