Villa Des Bengalis – a Rare, Exquisitely Restored House in the Heart of Nice

Property Description

A rare offering in the centre of Nice, Villa des Bengalis is a beautifully restored detached residence providing approximately 300 sq m of living space, just a short walk from the Carré d’Or district and less than ten minutes from the Mediterranean beaches.

Built in 1918, this historic property features five bedrooms, spacious reception areas, a private garden, multiple terraces and a courtyard with parking for several vehicles. Its central location offers easy access to the shops, restaurants and cultural attractions of Nice while maintaining the privacy of an independent residence.

The villa has undergone an extensive restoration programme lasting nearly ten years. Original architectural details have been carefully preserved, including the marble staircase, terrazzo flooring, antique parquet and decorative ceiling features.

These historic elements are complemented by high-quality contemporary finishes, including Carrara marble, Verde Cipollino marble, Roman travertine and walnut woodwork.

The principal living level comprises a spacious sitting room with a suspended fireplace, a dining area, a contemporary kitchen with a central marble island and an enclosed glazed loggia.

The principal bedroom suite features a south-facing terrace and an elegant marble bathroom with a hammam shower. Additional bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, where exposed timber beams and roof windows create bright, distinctive interiors.

The lower floor offers a fifth bedroom, which may also be used as a media room, together with a wine cellar, laundry room and generous storage facilities.

The Mediterranean garden is planted with palm trees, jasmine and wisteria, providing a series of private outdoor spaces for dining, relaxation and entertaining.

The nearby Alsace-Lorraine tram stop offers convenient connections to Nice International Airport and the city's port.

For international buyers seeking a luxury home on the French Riviera, Villa des Bengalis presents an uncommon combination of historic architecture, contemporary interiors, private outdoor space and a central location within walking distance of the Mediterranean.
