A 300-m² sumptuous flat in a 19th-century Italianate palace, with exceptional views of the Pyrenees Mountains, in the capital of the historical region of Béarn . The palace, built out of stone between 1880-1886 and rectangular in shape, faces south and is flanked by a tower to the west as well as an immense greenhouse to the east. Italianate in style and influenced by neo-Renaissance architecture, like the Osborne House, a summer residence for Queen Victoria, the central building has four storeys, while the tower has five. With a colonnade running along the top storey of the central building’s southern and northern exteriors, it is topped with a rooftop terrace safeguarded by a stone balustrade.
As for the southern exterior, facing the garden, a double staircase (added in the 1910s) in Carrare marble, provides access to the peristyle terrace, supported by four caryatids depicting the seasons. Completely symmetrical in appearance and cadenced by tall rectangular windows surrounded by ornately sculpted décor, as well as columns, pilasters, friezes and other types of exuberant ornamental details, its southern exterior also features a gently protruding central row of windows, preceded by the peristyle.
Originally with 4.6 hectares, the estate is enclosed by tall stone walls and accessible via two immense gates – one of which is decorated with bronze statuettes – each one located next to a caretaker’s cottage. Between 1902 and 1905, the architects Martinet and Rigault added a couple of follies throughout the property, such as an artificial spring and a temple to Diane, built out of reinforced concrete, whereas, in 1954, the grounds were divided up in large part in order to create a housing estate, the villa was split into magnificent flats and its garden was reduced to 8,200 m². Among these flats, the property in question, located on the first floor, is extended by a terrace and a balcony facing south and includes an entrance hall, four bedrooms, two living rooms, a study, a kitchen and two bathrooms, all featuring noble materials and meticulously decorated in a one-of-a-kind style, from the floor to the ceiling.
Last, but not least, the common areas mainly include an entrance hall and a massive staircase in Carrare marble, with balustrades and columns also in white marble.
