Residential Buildings

Villa Cypris is a seaside villa in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the French Riviera, built around 1904 in Neo-Byzantine style by the architect Edouard Arnaud for Cyprienne Dubernet, widow of the department store owner Olympe Hériot. Its gardens, laid out in 1909 by the Italian painter Raffaele Mainella, slope down to the sea and include a cloister gallery, a Venetian style loggia, and a pergola styled after the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba; the villa and its gardens were registered as a monument historique in 1990 and are not open to the public.
