On a recent visit to Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera we visited the Ephrussi de Rothschild's Villa and Gardens. http://www.villa-ephrussi.com/en/ephrussi/
With its stunning location and great views we found the property a fine example of a collectors’ love for all things beautiful.
Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, with her insatiable appetite for traveling had been collecting antiques and artifacts from all over the world to complete her Villa's interiors.
Such great inspiration for an equally avid world traveler.
However, the themes gardens where for me were the greatest inspiration. A Stone Garden with arches and columns arranged within exotic planting formed an interesting and intriguing arrangement that so easily could be interpreted in many current outdoor spaces. Not to mention the French Style Garden with it's beautifully simple musical water feature.
Set to classical music, which was played from concealed outdoor speakers, the sprinklers danced in the summer sky creating a truly magical site that was a true feast for all the senses!
