A Room with a View

If I could spend one night in a home anywhere in the world I think I might chose to stay in the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.  The villa is situated on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.  I have never seen a home with more spectacular views.




What would it be like to dine in the room above and look down on the harbor or across the bay to Villefranche and after dinner relax in a sitting room looks out on this?


Or enjoy other views such as these?



Even the stairway has huge windows taking advantage of the incredible location of the villa.


This bedroom has windows on three sides.  It would be possible to watch a sunset, see all of the lights at night, and wake up to views of the sea and gardens.




Nothing could beat breakfast on the terrace overlooking the gardens.  


I would finish my visit with a leisurely stroll through the extensive gardens which are designed around multiple themes:  exotic, Italian, etc.  Of course I wouldn't complain if I were invited to stay for lunch, or a week, or maybe forever.
