Tucked beneath the umbrella pines of Cap d\u2019Antibes and just a short stroll from the gates of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, a new chapter in Riviera elegance is opening its doors tomorrow (Friday 18 April 2025). Introducing Hotel du Cap Villa Rental’s latest addition: Villa La Guetti\u00e8re. <\/strong>This Mediterranean paradise includes a renovated 1200m\u00b2 Proven\u00e7al estate with nine spacious bedrooms, an infinity pool, cinema room, private fitness room… and exceptional service.<\/p>\n

Guests benefit from exclusive services provided by the exceptional team at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.<\/p>\n

“From the care of a dedicated concierge, attentive butlers and housekeepers, discreet security, and an outstanding private chef, every detail is handled with meticulous care,” says Oetker Collection (which owns Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc). Villa guests are also granted privileged access to the hotel’s on-site services and amenities.<\/p>\n

This is the third villa in Hotel du Cap Villa Rental’s exclusive collection, which already includes\u00a0Villa Les C\u00e8dres, located in the hotel’s private park; and Villa Eleana near the main entrance.<\/p>\n

According to Oetker Collection, the Villa La Guetti\u00e8re estate spans over 6,500 square metres of secluded (and scent-drenched) gardens, framed by Mediterranean sea views. .<\/p>\n

Villa La Guetti\u00e8re<\/h2>\n

La Guetti\u00e8re unfolds across two residences: a six-bedroom main house (with an elevator) and a three-bedroom guest pavilion. Each bedroom comes complete with its own en-suite, and some offer a private terrace. The heated infinity pool is flanked by a chic pool house with a fitness studio, lounge, and shaded dining spaces for long Riviera lunches.<\/p>\n

The villa – which accommodates 18 adults, and parking for eight cars – is surrounded by 6,500 square meters of lush private grounds.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n

Inside, the ambiance is an ode to serenity. Interiors have been curated by Comtesse Bergit Gr\u00e4fin Douglas <\/strong>of MM Design Frankfurt, blending natural textures\u2014linen, rattan, wood\u2014with custom furnishings and a calming palette drawn straight from the Mediterranean itself: sand, sage, and deep coastal blue.<\/p>\n

Comtesse Douglas says: “My primary inspiration was, of course, the Mediterranean itself\u2014with its sun-drenched hues and rich, earthy tones. We embraced the Riviera\u2019s love for outdoor living by incorporating open, airy spaces and seamless transitions between the interior and exterior.”<\/p>\n

A Legacy of Style<\/h2>\n

The architectural soul of Villa La Guetti\u00e8re carries the famous Svetchine name. The late Russian-born, French architect Andr\u00e9 Svetchine – who designed the Fernand Leger museum in Biot, Riviera villas for Marc Chagall and a renovation for Christian Dior – also led the renovation of Villa La Guetti\u00e8re in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Now, his son Luc Svetchine<\/strong> has stepped in to honour that legacy while elevating it for a new era. \u201cIt\u2019s a composition of volumes, like a Proven\u00e7al hamlet,\u201d he says, \u201ceach one speaking the same architectural language.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Our goal was to honour the existing architecture while breathing new life into the space,” he explains, and ultimately “evoking an authentic Proven\u00e7al hamlet.”<\/p>\n

The property has been designed to celebrate the effortless elegance of life in the South of France. “Sunlit facades, shaded terraces, and bright, airy interiors create the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends,” says Oetker Collection.<\/p>\n

Living, the Eden-Roc Way<\/h2>\n

From breakfast in the garden to candlelit feasts beneath the stars, dining at Villa La Guetti\u00e8re will always feel like a celebration. A formal dining room welcomes 18 for elegant soir\u00e9es<\/em>, while a summer kitchen complete with pizza oven and pulley barbecue keeps things playfully Proven\u00e7al.<\/p>\n

An Invitation to Slow Down<\/h2>\n

Guests are encouraged to explore the Riviera, dive into the Med, go on a boat excursion, wander the art-filled villages, hike the coastal trails… or simply linger on a sun-drenched terrace with a chilled glass of ros\u00e9. Villa La Guetti\u00e8re is both a sanctuary and a launchpad\u2014a place to retreat from the maddening world, recharge, and revel in life\u2019s finer moments.<\/p>\n

Villa La Guetti\u00e8re is poised to be more than a destination. It\u2019s the Riviera dream.<\/p>\n
