Villa Kérylos, Beaulieu-Sur-Mer

Located on the rocky tip of the Baie des Fourmis in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, behind which stand the monumental cliffs of Eze, Villa Kérylos takes you on a fascinating journey and a tribute to Greek civilisation.

An original reconstruction of an ancient Greek dwelling, Villa Kérylos is the realisation of a dream – that of Théodore Reinach, an archaeologist and French statesman, fascinated by Greek civilisation. It is also the fruit of an exemplary collaboration with architect Emmanuel Pontremoli who was passionate about this project.

Designed and built between 1902 and 1908, based on the model of noble houses on the Island of Delos (2nd century BC.), Villa Kérylos is not a simple reproduction but a reinvention of ancient Greece.

Far from a pastiche, for Théodore Reinach and Emmanuel Pontremoli it was about creating an original piece of work while “thinking Greek”. The house subtly combines ancient luxury with the modern comfort of Belle Epoque villas.

Its construction uses the most precious materials: ancient stucco, Carrara marble and exotic wood for the furniture. The decoration is sumptuous: mosaics and frescoes inspired by famous scenes, illustrating the great legends of gods and classic heroes.

The villa is organised around a peristyle with a large inner courtyard surrounded by 12 columns in Carrara marble. On the ground floor are the state rooms, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are located upstairs.”Kérylos” means “sea swallow”, a poetic bird of mythology, which announced a good omen.

Like all the villas built during the Belle Epoque, the villa Kérylos was also a leisure home. Théodore Reinach spent his holidays there with his family. On his death in 1928, he bequeathed the villa to the Institut de France, of which he was a member. His children and grandchildren continued to live in the house until 1967 when it became listed as a historical monument.

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, also called Villa Île-de-France, is a French seaside villa located at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera. Designed by the French architect Aaron Messiah, it was built between 1907 and 1912 by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild (1864–1934).

A member of the Rothschild banking family and the wife of the banker Baron Maurice de Ephrussi, Béatrice de Rothschild built her rose-colored villa on a promontory on the isthmus of Cap Ferratoverlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The Baroness filled the mansion with antique furniture, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d’art and assembled an extensive collection of rare porcelain. The gardens are classified by the Ministry of Culture as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France, whilst the villa itself has been classified as a monument historique since 1996.

Upon her death in 1934, the Baroness donated the property and its collections to the Académie des Beaux-Arts division of the Institut de France. It is now open to the public.

The villa is surrounded by nine gardens, each on a different theme: French, Spanish, Japanese, Florentine, Provençal, exotic, a stone garden, a rose garden and a garden of Sèvres. They were created between 1905 and 1912 under the direction of landscape architect Achille Duchêne.

The garden was conceived in the form of a ship, to be viewed from the loggia of the house, which was like the bridge of a vessel, with the sea visible on all sides. It was inspired by a voyage she made on the liner Île de France, and the villa was given that name. The thirty gardeners who maintained the garden were dressed as sailors, with berets with red pom-poms.

The garden à la française is the largest and occupies the area behind the villa. Next to the villa there is a terrace with a formal French garden and topiaries. Beyond the terrace is a park with palm trees and a long basin, ornamented with fountains, statues, and basins with water lilies and other aquatic plants. On the far end of the park is a hill covered with cypress trees, surrounding a replica garden of the Temple of Love at the Petit Trianon palace in Versailles. The slope below the temple has a cascade of water in the form of a stairway, which feeds into the large basin.

Bentley Continental….. delivered to your villa

We can have one of these waiting at the airport for you, or delivered to your villa……

(Crewe, 3 October 2019) Bentley’s new Continental GT V8 has been awarded significant honours at the 2019 News UK Motor Awards, held last night in London. The Continental GT V8 was crowned the People’s Car of The Year by Jeremy Clarkson, and ‘Best British Built Car’ following a poll of the readers of The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times and listeners of talkSPORT.

Collecting the People’s Car of the Year award on Bentley’s behalf was Sarah Simpson, Bentley’s Regional Director for the UK, who comments:

‘We are delighted that the Continental GT V8 has been recognised both as the best British-built car and as the People’s Car of the Year. These are the latest in a series of accolades for our GT, all of which are testament to the skills of our designers, engineers and craftspeople. With the launch of the GT V8 in the UK, the success of the Continental GT here will go from strength to strength. On behalf of everyone at Bentley, thank you to both the judges and the public who have voted for us – we are proud and grateful.’

Commenting on the Continental GT, Jeremy Clarkson comments:

‘“Particularly when you sit inside, they are exceptionally good. I think It’s a wonderful, wonderful car and I want one.”

Last year alone, the Continental GT won 19 awards from publications in the UK, Europe, Russia and China. Its overall success at this year’s News UK builds on last year’s inaugural event, where the GT claimed the ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ title. The award-winning trend has continued in 2019, with the GT being crowned the Middle East Car of the Year and the GT Convertible winning a WardsAuto Best Interior award and honours in the German Design Council’s Automotive Brand Contest.

Bentley Motors is the most sought after luxury car brand in the world. The company’s headquarters in Crewe is home to all of its operations including design, R&D, engineering and production of the company’s four model lines, Continental, Flying Spur, Bentayga and Mulsanne. The combination of fine craftsmanship, using skills that have been handed down through generations, alongside engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology is unique to UK luxury car brands such as Bentley. It is also an example of high-value British manufacturing at its best. Bentley employs around 4,000 people at Crewe.

Rent a Classic Car

Rent A Classic Car,
The classic and sports car rental on the French Riviera!

The French Riviera is one of the most beautiful places in the world to enjoy from behind the wheel of a classic sports car. Go for a drive in the country in a Porsche 356 Speedster, cruise down the Croisette in Cannes in a Ford Mustang, take on the sharp bends of the Monte Carlo Rally in a Lotus Seven or go for a dinner in Monaco in our Jaguar E-Type; Nice and its region are a true paradise for car enthusiasts…

A wonderful collection at your entire disposal!

Rent A Classic Car is proud to offer you an “ideal collection” ranging from the uncompromising sports cars (Lotus Super Seven, AC Cobra, Ferrari 308 GTS) to the everlasting classics (Porsche 356 Speedster, Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes 190 SL, Austin-Healey, etc.). From the original “fun” cars (2CV, MG TD) to the prestigious saloons (Ford Mustang Convertible).

Whether it be a for a weekend, a holiday, a birthday celebration, a wedding or a day out with friends, all these cars are at your disposal without heavy investment, without the hassle of maintenance, storage or insurance. They are yours without constraints and you can swap between them at your leisure…

Prices comparable to a “normal” rental, 5 to 10 times cheaper than a “luxury” or a “supercar” rental

As the cars are part of our own private collection and because their values do not depreciate, we are able to rent our cars out at very competitive rates. In fact, about the same as an “everyday” rental!

For the same price as a Clio for the day, take the wheel of a MG TD or a Lotus Super Seven! For the same price as a weekend away in a Passat, experience the music of the Alfa Roméo Spider Giulietta’s “Twin Cam” or the roar of the AC Cobra V8 engine!

Glamourous and appealing beyond any comparison …

Because they also are a piece of history and have witnessed an art of living, these cars have much more to offer than your average modern “luxury” car or “supercar”.

As you cruise along, you will most likely encounter friendly looks and thumbs up from people, engage in conversations with other car lovers or even be asked if a picture could be taken behind the wheel. Regardless the situation, you will not leave indifferent!

Finally, classic cars are practical and worry-free!

Your car on a plate!!!

Come and pick-up your “classic” in our “garage museum” in Nice… You will see many other automobile “beauties”!!! Otherwise we can deliver on request directly to Nice airport, to your hotel or in any other place of your choice between Nice, Cannes and Monaco, just ask us for a quote…

For the evening, the weekend or your whole holiday

The rental periods are from 1 to 7 days and above. On a 7 day rental or longer, you can swap vehicle at least once depending on availability. Why not rent a Lotus Seven for your week’s holiday and take your wife out for an unforgettable dinner in a Mercedes 190 SL?

Always rentals without chauffeur, of cars belonging to Rent A Classic Car

The cars we are renting out belong to us; we don’t put you in touch with collectors, convinced that you might scratch or wreck their car!
