At Cap de Nice, facing the sea, this apartment is a place where all the softness of the South is revealed by blending noble, natural materials such as raffia, palm wood and Burgundy stone with carefully selected, exceptional furnishings. The light-filled apartment features Burgundy stone throughout the floor.
A vast living/dining room is marked by the presence of palm wood, recalling the French decorative arts of the first half of the 20th century, to which the owners are very attached.The Italian-style bathroom is in Cipollino marble, recalling the origins of the city of Nice. This rare marble was used by the Romans for their most beautiful temples.
