Villa Kérylos: A Greek Dream on the Riviera, Reimagined Since 1908

Villa Kérylos, an ancient-style villa in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, has been a testament to Hellenism since its completion in 1908. Created by a scholar passionate about Greek culture, the villa embodies the art of living and 'thinking Greek.' As of January 2026, the villa has been placed under the management of the new entity Aura, which is organizing new ways for the public to experience the site. The villa, which appears to have crossed the centuries to land on the Riviera, offers a unique glimpse into ancient Greek aesthetics and lifestyle. Aura's initiatives aim to present the villa in innovative formats, allowing visitors to explore its architectural and cultural significance from fresh perspectives. The property, a masterpiece of neoclassical design, continues to attract attention for its historical and artistic value, blending the past with contemporary curation.
