Villa Mariana — Belle Époque heritage, contemporary renovation in Saint-Raphaël

In the heart of the residential Plaines district, 600 metres from the sea and just minutes from Saint-Raphaël’s historic centre, Villa Mariana has stood since 1884. Located within the perimeter overseen by the French Heritage Buildings authorities, this late-19th-century residence combines the nobility of its original Mediterranean architecture with the exacting standards of a complete contemporary renovation.

A rare orientation and outlook

Set on landscaped grounds of 1,565 sqm, the villa offers more than 400 sqm of living space across four levels, all served by a glass-structured integrated lift. Its east/south/west exposure bathes the rooms in light throughout the day, while its openings reveal a panorama stretching from the Estérel Massif to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

A layout designed for refined living

The ground floor offers approximately 160 sqm of reception space: a kitchen opening onto a family dining room, a television lounge, a dining room for twelve guests, and a Belle Époque conservatory with bespoke glasswork extending the interior towards the garden. The first floor comprises three suites, each with a private shower room equipped with underfloor “warm feet” heating; two open onto a 50 sqm east/south-facing terrace. The second floor forms a true 87 sqm principal apartment: private lounge, bedroom, two dressing rooms, bathroom with freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower, and Niçoise-style balconies. The lower level houses a wine cellar directly connected to the kitchen, together with spaces ready to accommodate a wellness area.

An annex and Mediterranean garden

An approximately 60 sqm annex villa, comprising a living room, open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room, completes the property. The fully redesigned garden brings together olive trees, cork oaks, lemon trees and strawberry trees around a 12 × 6 metre swimming pool bordered by a travertine sun terrace. A pétanque court, vegetable-growing areas, a 40 sqm enclosed garage and a parking forecourt complete the property.

A renovation carried out according to the highest standards

Bespoke wooden joinery compliant with ABF requirements, enhanced insulation, burglar-resistant glazing, video surveillance and an alarm system: the villa meets the most demanding technical standards while preserving its original identity.
