Belle Epoque on the outside, boldly eclectic on the inside, this Antibes villa is one of a kind. The architecture is classic French Riviera, anchored by a clock tower; the look, sleek and well traveled. While it’s tucked into a landscaped garden for privacy, it’s less than a 10-minute walk from the famed Plage de la Garoupe, the white-sand beach that’s been a celeb favorite since the ’20s.

Start the day with coffee on the balcony, then shift to a lounger on the sun-splashed pool terrace or the built-in sectional in the art-filled pool house. Pine-grove shade and a water feature make the alfresco dining area cool and tranquil, and a rooftop terrace is perfect for taking in the views along with pre-dinner drinks.

While the villa’s red-tiled roof, blue-shuttered windows, and Italian-style clock tower have been lovingly preserved, its rooms have been given a modern makeover. A leather sectional curves around the coffee table in the living room, and wheeled Lucite chairs surround the dining table. The fully equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar, and the bedrooms have playful details ranging from brightly patterned area rugs to colorful tile.

Put on your swimsuit and sandals for the 7-minute walk to Plage de la Garoupe, one of the most popular Cap d’Antibes beaches. By car, it’s 6 minutes to Plage de la Salis and its views of Old Town Antibes, and 7 minutes to private-feeling but totally public Plage de la Gallice.
