This new villa has an exceptionally beautiful setting on the border of the Mediterranean Sea. The new villa is set further back on the property both for privacy and to maximize space on the sea-side. Municipal officials in the French Riviera assiduously protect what they see as their endangered patrimony; because of this they required that all existing trees be protected or transplanted on site. Several new Aleppo Pines were added to screen the new villa from the sea and air. Over twenty ancient olive trees will be transplanted on site; two large pines will be protected and built around.
