The charm and modernity of a private mansion, Biarritz

Built in 1883, this beautiful stone house once doubled as a hotel. Entirely renovated ten years ago, this Parisian-style building provides close to 450 sq m of living quarters, dispatched over four levels.

“At the very heart of Biarritz, the mansion is just 300 m from the beaches and 200 m from the market,” says Koté Palais. The property comes with a 1,000-sq m garden—a rarity—planted with palm- and plane trees. It features a 15-m overflow pool, and a pool house. The stylish interior decorating (white walls, stone, bamboo and wenge flooring) emphasises the vast reception areas: the bigger one, at 90 sq m, is at garden level while the other is on the ground floor. A semi-professional kitchen is ideal for big dinners.

Upstairs, seven magnificent bedrooms and six bathrooms combine space and light. Every care has been taken to ensure the guests’ well-being.
