Villa Kérylos

Villas

Villa Kérylos is an ancient Greek house completed on the French Riviera in 1908. Classical scholar Théodore Reinach and architect Emmanuel Pontremoli modelled it on the noble villas of second-century BC Delos, recreating their mosaics, frescoes, courtyards and furniture with archaeological seriousness. Every room received a Greek name, and reproductions of ancient chairs were commissioned from Parisian cabinetmakers.
