(All pictures by Allison Steele)Is this not every girl's dream home? How delightful to have a pretty pink princess palace to live in? And the gardens are simply divine!
From Wikipedia: "Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is a French seaside palazzo constructed between 1905 and 1912 at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera by Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild(1864-1934). It was designed by the Belgian architect Aaron Messiah. A member of the prominent Rothschild banking family and the wife of the wealthy Russian-Jewish banker Baron de Ephrussi, Béatrice de Rothschild built her rose-colored villa on a promontory on the isthmus of Cap Ferrat overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The Baroness filled the mansion with antiuqe furnitrue, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d'art, and assembled an extensive collection of rare porcelain. The gardens are classified by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France."
What a beautiful villa! With such a spectacular view of the Mediterranean, wow!

ReplyDeleteHi Allison
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting over at my blog :)
I am loving your photos this week, I'm even more excited about my trip now! Glad you enjoyed this part of France so much, I just love it.
Am happy to hear that I am not the only one who found getting into "Eat, Pray, Love" a challenge....a few people have commented on that too. It was a great read though, now I've finished it, I can't stop thinking about it!
Have a great day!
