With artisanal touches, classic opulence and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">views across the Bay of Monaco</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY9jo3sTANsBroPBobS7VsMY6HKNU9QbTat4hDASoX0cnuYTYMXsZpNsxrHEunRkGT3x512gyAFaWE1yekR-UOoxCGDjx4KgW6_fHn5HdhvUE1AJfRQ7n2Ypm6KmkbgFJ5o5pB4rEYCCQF/s1600/Villa-Egerton-French-Riviera-passion4luxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY9jo3sTANsBroPBobS7VsMY6HKNU9QbTat4hDASoX0cnuYTYMXsZpNsxrHEunRkGT3x512gyAFaWE1yekR-UOoxCGDjx4KgW6_fHn5HdhvUE1AJfRQ7n2Ypm6KmkbgFJ5o5pB4rEYCCQF/s640/Villa-Egerton-French-Riviera-passion4luxury.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Built in 1902 by sought-after Belle Époque architect George Tersling, who designed palatial homes for aristocrats and high-flyers across the Côte d'Azur, Villa Egerton carries the signature art nouveau grandeur of the time – and a historic guest list to match. Its famously wealthy neighbourhood of Roquebrune was the site of fabled parties in the 1940s and '50s, where the likes of Greta Garbo, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel and Man Ray mingled and revelled. Winston Churchill, it is rumoured, spent several summers penning his memoirs in the villa gardens. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-aSYOZZl9UNIiYdV_S_oEUtIej38Wk9f5PABLg5CPtGnUyKdgZucrsnDl6uTFw6qyMHRo4vc2wuAqh_5hyU_9VI5TyzgeLxtAfYKjV0b-Awckow553rg9cSjjZ3lzSjsKbFANa72cLy8/s1600/Villa-Egerton-passion4luxury-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-aSYOZZl9UNIiYdV_S_oEUtIej38Wk9f5PABLg5CPtGnUyKdgZucrsnDl6uTFw6qyMHRo4vc2wuAqh_5hyU_9VI5TyzgeLxtAfYKjV0b-Awckow553rg9cSjjZ3lzSjsKbFANa72cLy8/s640/Villa-Egerton-passion4luxury-3.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> But its heyday is far from over – going under the scaffolds recently has reaffirmed Villa Egerton's lavish past while introducing the mod cons every millionaire craves. The 7,500-sq-m property now boasts expansive outdoor entertainment areas, including a travertine pool terrace bar, cooking facilities, a heated pool, a Jacuzzi hot tub and several options for open-air dining and unwinding. Inside, guests find seven bedrooms, three lounges, two state-of-the-art kitchens, a grand dining hall,</div><div style="text-align: center;"> a sun room and an office. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLXH3pD-F8HlFqzXlLLeOjpjhRA27rLwYr1WlHgAbYpsnRmcOpJpUf8pxHz_P7jcL5UjQmDgpjuDNC2aOJGFrff3a5UvPHLyoSQMSlLyGx23_Vn5fPruiMUnWZuXpG2-hWGtG4REg_tDwC/s1600/Villa-Egerton-passion4luxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLXH3pD-F8HlFqzXlLLeOjpjhRA27rLwYr1WlHgAbYpsnRmcOpJpUf8pxHz_P7jcL5UjQmDgpjuDNC2aOJGFrff3a5UvPHLyoSQMSlLyGx23_Vn5fPruiMUnWZuXpG2-hWGtG4REg_tDwC/s640/Villa-Egerton-passion4luxury.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> A further 1,000 sq m are dedicated to entertainment, from the spacious hall for soirées to the Italian wine cellar, the secret bar hidden away behind a bookcase, and the home cinema with more films than one can even hope to watch during a week's rental. There's WiFi indoors and out, as well as satellite TV for those who can tear themselves away from the stunning views over the gardens and out to the Mediterranean Sea. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1jxsjtDEQQ2cHei9ukoTcmJyRKd9EpcXYKQ3DYIDxijA0qse8OP2fswLqO80Rp_t-L6liEdtpta_E1rw39hVz_EojplUjrdCbJ41A5PUSr9XhZ4rRaS3Gh_q4GETRs2at8UHAHqlZHixe/s1600/Villa-Egerton-pool-passion4luxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1jxsjtDEQQ2cHei9ukoTcmJyRKd9EpcXYKQ3DYIDxijA0qse8OP2fswLqO80Rp_t-L6liEdtpta_E1rw39hVz_EojplUjrdCbJ41A5PUSr9XhZ4rRaS3Gh_q4GETRs2at8UHAHqlZHixe/s640/Villa-Egerton-pool-passion4luxury.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1wwLIwZvZdBdaGj02jue7bkYdm85R9eBvchR5W5g1b4hYCKiAlCLVjT05yO7Idmzd-s-u32BCoiIc15_cBRQgS-pHdkOJMRWSEeL9CH_ryDFHycFqw_RmB58t0bKaqzKgOde7veb-Cum/s1600/Villa-Egerton-bar-passion4luxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1wwLIwZvZdBdaGj02jue7bkYdm85R9eBvchR5W5g1b4hYCKiAlCLVjT05yO7Idmzd-s-u32BCoiIc15_cBRQgS-pHdkOJMRWSEeL9CH_ryDFHycFqw_RmB58t0bKaqzKgOde7veb-Cum/s640/Villa-Egerton-bar-passion4luxury.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> No detail was left untouched, either, calling in Fucina Boranga Artistica (who did the gates at the Colosseum in Rome) for custom-made ironwork, and appointing Italian artisans from Mariani Affreschi to hand-paint the gold leaf detailing and freshen up fresco murals.
