The grand entrance hall of Villa Kerylos welcomes you with rich furnishings that feature beautiful mosaics and sculptures from Greek mythology. While the intricate marble columns set the tone for a luxurious Greek manor, the Oecus (Living Room) has sunlight filtering in through ornate latticework. You can also explore the Andron, a private domain reserved for men back in the day, which has mosaic floors and walls adorned with frescoes.

As you ascend to the first floor of the villa, you will enter the Gynaeceum, a space dedicated to the private world of women. The sleeping chambers are adorned with ancient Greek furnishings and paintings, with a room exclusively designed for maiden arts like spinning wool. You can even take a stroll through the Pinakothek, an art gallery that houses recreated sculptures, wall paintings, and Greco-Roman statues.

Spread around the mansion, the various bedrooms are themed after different Greek gods and deities, displaying the opulence of ancient Greek aristocracy. Each room is uniquely decorated to align with the characteristics and stories of these legendary figures. Moreover, the study and the library delve into the intellectual and scholarly aspects of ancient Greek society, filled with artifacts and books that reflect the era’s commitment to knowledge and philosophy.

The outside of the villa is as striking as the interior space, as the lush gardens offer breathtaking views of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and its magnificent mansions. Filled with olive trees, vineyards, pomegranate, carob, acanthus, and myrtle to recreate the Greek atmosphere, a walk through the manicured greens also allows you to soak in the views of the sea and waves crashing on the rocky coast.
