EXCLUSIVE – Villa Les Lucioles, Parc Impérial, Nice: Where Timeless Belle Époque Elegance Meets Mediterranean Art de Vivre Built in 1912 by renowned architect Jean Cugia, Villa Les Lucioles is a rare expression of aristocratic elegance in one of Nice’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Parc Impérial. Long favored by the local bourgeoisie for its tranquility, elevated position, and close proximity to the city center, the Promenade des Anglais, and top international schools, this address embodies the refined lifestyle of the Riviera. Behind its classical façade, adorned with a commemorative medallion, this historic residence unfolds across 366 sqm of living space (on 740 sqm of landscaped grounds), distributed over four levels connected by a meticulously restored staircase. Every detail reflects authenticity and sophistication. From the moment you enter, the tone is set: original mosaic floors, custom mirror, and a discreet cloakroom welcome you with understated elegance. The luminous reception rooms offer a rare Haussmann-style charm in Nice, with ornate moldings, impressive volumes, and a restored, working period fireplace. The kitchen, designed in a refined Mediterranean spirit, blends handcrafted ceramics with Italian accents, creating a warm and distinctive atmosphere. Upstairs, the 50 sqm master suite invites absolute serenity, featuring elegant shuttered wardrobes, a contemporary double-sided fireplace, and a bespoke bathroom adorned with natural materials and refined finishes (including Kerakoll coatings and hand-crafted basins). Two further bedrooms retain the soul of the villa—one with a private terrace—sharing a beautifully appointed bathroom. The top floor, bathed in natural light, hosts a versatile space with sea views and access to a rooftop terrace offering rare development potential in the heart of the city. On the garden level, the property continues to impress with a TV lounge, a glass-enclosed office, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a fully equipped laundry room, and an independent guest bedroom with kitchenette and en-suite shower room. Outdoors, a hand-tiled lap pool extends from a sun-drenched terrace, while a spacious garage accommodating up to four vehicles completes this exceptional home. Eco-conscious and equipped with the latest technologies, Villa Les Lucioles is a unique blend of Belle Époque charm, high-end features, and modern comfort — just minutes from the beach, acclaimed restaurants, and Nice International Airport.
