Côte d'Azur, France
Sculpted by the
light of the Riviera.
A singular Belle Époque estate where France's most luminous coastline becomes your private world.
A Singular
Belle Époque Estate
Nestled above the crystalline waters of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Maison Velour is a private estate where the Côte d'Azur's most rarefied elegance is woven into every detail. Built in 1887 and meticulously restored to its original grandeur, our sixteen suites offer a world apart — where personal butlers, private terraces, and the perpetual sound of the Mediterranean conspire to slow time itself.
To arrive at Maison Velour is to step beyond the ordinary. Here the light falls differently, every table is set with intention, and every wish is attended to before it is spoken.
