Ref. 062014-015 Exceptional Belle Epoque Villa For Sale in Golfe-Juan on the French Riviera. Once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire an extraordinary villa on the French Riviera. This home, built in the first decade of the 1900's is sit atop a beautiful hill situated in it own micro climate which has enriched the lands over the centuries and provides the perfect place for citrus groves and rose gardens. Originally the lands were used for the cultivation of citrus fruits as well as their flowers and the rose petals which were used to create the orange flower essence and rose petal essence used in the local perfume industry. Jean Garino, a well know benefactor of the area, was the home's original owner and now the home is currently under the possession of its second owners since construction in circa 1910. As homes on the French Riviera go this property is magnificent with views from the Cap d'Antibes to the Iles de Lerins of Cannes. There are numerous spaces inside and outside the home for comfortable living. A beautiful south facing porch offers a sublime place to relax and enjoy life on the Mediterranean.
GOLFE-JUAN: The setting of Golfe Juan just five kms east of Cannes, and 3 kms from Juan les Pins and the Cap d'Antibes is magnificent. The panoramic views over the Bay of Cannes, the Iles de Lerins and the Esterel Mountains are exceptional, and the shoreline is breathtakingly picturesque. The seafront is lined with exceptional property options and possibilities, apartments and villas that can enjoy this magnificent outlook and wonderful views.
In the heart of the village is Quai St. Pierre where the fishing boats still come in each morning with their catch which is laid out for locals to buy fresh while the fishermen repair their nets by hand seated on stools on the pier in time-honoured fashion.
Just across the breakwater, Port Camille Rayon is home to many of the most fabulous super-yachts on the seas - to wander amongst them is to dream, and to be amazed.
Lining the Quai St Pierre and Port Camille Rayon are many wonderful ground floor restaurants many with sought after luxury apartment buildings above them. Their facilities and service tumble onto the waterside when the weather is good (which is most of the time). Fish and Provencal specialities of course top the bill, but some of the best Italian food this side of the border is also available on the Port. Prices are reasonable, and more affordable than in Cannes or Juan les Pins, although for really fine dining two of the region's most renowned restaurants, "Tetou" and "Nounou" overlook Golfe Juan's popular public beach. They have been there for generations and are well worth the treat if one ever has the opportunity.
Golfe Juan is twinned with Vallauris whose name is synonymous with pottery. The origins go back to artisans from Genoa who discovered the fine pottery clay in the surrounding forests in the XVIth century, and the industry has flourished here ever since. Picasso took a great interest in painted decorations on earthenware and supported and sponsored a great revival of this village while he was alive and to this day many of his works are exhibited in the Ceramics Museum, the Modern Art Museum and the Picasso Museum just down the road in Antibes. Today there are 200 master potters who make their homes in Vallauris and Golfe Juan.
Every year in February Golfe Juan celebrates the "Fete Napoleon" over an entire weekend of festivity and recreation, period clothing and camping on the beaches, cannon rolls and marching bands (a true sight to behold). It is theoretically to commemorate Napoleon's landing in this port and on these beaches on his return to France after exile in Elba on March 1st 1815. Here he gathered his troops and set off via Cannes and Grasse along what we know today as the "Route Napoleon" to Paris, to reclaim his throne. As far as Golfe Juan is concerned however, what an excuse for a winter party!
