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

Au cœur du residential Plaines district, 600 meters from the sea and a few minutes from the historic center of Saint-Raphaël, Villa Mariana has stood since 1884. Located within the perimeter overseen by the Architects of the Buildings of France (ABF), 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 view

Set on landscaped grounds of 1,565sqm, the villa offers more than 400sqm of living space over four levels, all served by a glass-structure integrated lift. Its East/South/West exposure floods the rooms with light throughout the day, and its openings reveal a panorama stretching from the Estérel Massif to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

A layout designed for the art of living

The ground floor provides around 160sqm of reception space: an open kitchen onto a family dining room, a TV lounge, a guest dining room for twelve, and a Belle Époque veranda with bespoke glasswork extending the interior into the garden. The first floor comprises three suites, each with its own private shower room; two open onto an East/South terrace of fifty square meters. The second floor forms a true 87sqm primary apartment: private lounge, bedroom, two dressing rooms, bathroom with a freestanding tub and walk-in (Italian-style) shower, and Nice-style balconies. The lower level houses a wine cellar directly connected to the kitchen, as well as volumes ready to accommodate a wellness area.

An outbuilding and a Mediterranean garden

An ancillary villa of about 60sqm, including a living area, open 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 meter swimming pool bordered by a travertine solarium. A pétanque court, kitchen-garden areas, a closed 40sqm garage and a parking forecourt complete the property.

A renovation carried out to the highest standards

All systems have been completely renewed: electricity, plumbing, heat pump, mechanical ventilation (VMC), centralized home automation. Bespoke wooden joinery compliant with ABF requirements, reinforced insulation, anti-burglary glazing, video surveillance and alarm: the villa meets the most demanding technical standards while preserving its original identity.
