This month marks the grand reopening of Villa La Guettière, the latest jewel in the crown of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc’s exclusive villa collection.

With its seamless blend of privacy, refined design, and the finest Riviera hospitality, this chic new hideaway is the ultimate option for families and friends seeking an unforgettable home-away-from-home on the Côte d’Azur.
THE DESTINATION
Set on 6,500 square metres of private land, the estate comprises a main house and guesthouse, together offering nine ensuite bedrooms, many with private terraces. A heated infinity pool, pool house with summer kitchen, fitness suite, private cinema, and spa with sauna and hammam ensure moments of indulgence and tranquillity at every turn. The villa also features an extensive wine cellar with the finest wines, perfect for intimate tastings. Only steps away from Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the picturesque Port de l’Olivette, this exceptional estate offers guests a private, immersive experience in the heart of the Cap d’Antibes. This combination of world-class amenities, bespoke hospitality, and unrivalled location positions Villa La Guettière as the definitive Riviera summer retreat.
THE VILLA
Designed to mirror the ambience of an authentic Provençal hamlet, Villa La Guettière seamlessly merges space, style, and soul. Guests can enjoy the discreet service of a private chef, butlers, housekeepers, and security, with every detail orchestrated by the concierge team at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Whether it be brunch on a shaded terrace or a bespoke dinner under the stars, culinary experiences are personalised and always crafted using the very best seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
Originally built in the 1970s, the villa has now been fully renovated under the vision of renowned architect Luc Svetchine – continuing the legacy of his father, André Svetchine – to honour the villa’s original Provençal charm while elevating it with contemporary elegance. According to Svetchine, the guiding principle behind the project was to “undertake a renovation that respects the existing architecture”, a value he holds deeply. Designer Comtesse Bergit Gräfin Douglas of MM Design Frankfurt brings a refined interior vision, blending natural textures, bespoke furnishings, and a coastal palette inspired by the Mediterranean hues.
MEDITERANNEAN DINING
The culinary offering at Villa La Guettière reflects the refined elegance and exceptional standards of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. With a private chef available up to 12 hours per day, guests can indulge in tailored menus from leisurely breakfasts on the terrace to elegant garden aperitifs and romantic candlelit dinners. The dining room seats up to 18 for convivial gatherings, while the pool house includes a summer kitchen equipped with a pizza oven and height-adjustable barbecue. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients inspire the villa's versatile menu – ranging from traditional Provençal dishes and French classics to international favourites such as Bouillabaisse, Club Sandwiches, and Roast Chicken with homemade sides. Private wine tastings can also be arranged in the villa’s cellar, offering an additional dimension to the gastronomic experience.
UNFORGETTABLE & EXCEPTIONAL EVENTS
For those wishing to hold exclusive events, the villa can be fully privatised to host up to 20 guests for intimate dinners or up to 50 guests for cocktail soirées in the garden. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a private gathering, or a corporate retreat, the estate’s panoramic views over the bay of Juan-les-Pins and refined indoor and outdoor spaces provide the ideal backdrop. Every occasion is elevated by the dedicated services of a private butler and chef, ensuring that every detail is flawlessly executed.
