A Place to Breathe
Wake to the colour of the Mediterranean and spend evenings with the horizon as your companion. This third‑floor residence in La Baie des Saphirs is an invitation to live outside and in: interiors that flow effortlessly into broad terraces, and a private outdoor swim space that frames the bay of Èze. Every moment here — from the gentle morning light to the long, blue afternoons — feels quietly curated for comfort and calm.

The Heart of the Home
Inside, 146.10 m² of living space has been arranged with a refined sense of proportion. A generous living and dining area runs beneath wide bay windows, erasing the boundary between inside and out. Light pours across pale floors and soft finishes, accentuating generous sightlines where the sea becomes part of the interior palette. The kitchen sits naturally within the living space: an open plan layout that encourages conversation, communal cooking and effortless entertaining.

Thoughtful details appear throughout: large-format tiling options, finely considered bathroom fixtures, walk‑in showers with rainfall heads, heated towel rails and high‑quality joinery. Comfort is built in, not added on — with reversible air conditioning to maintain just the right temperature year‑round and integrated home‑automation features to simplify daily life.

Private Bedrooms, Quiet Retreats
The apartment offers three bedrooms conceived as tranquil retreats. Each room benefits from natural light and careful finishes built‑in storage keeps spaces uncluttered and calm. The main bedroom opens onto the terrace, letting you step out for sunrise views over the sea. Bathrooms are designed with a contemporary sensibility: suspended WCs, marble‑effect tops and ceramic basins provide a little everyday luxury.

Outside: Your Own Piece of the Bay
The outdoor area is the defining feature — 144.76 m² of terrace positioned to capture sea views and long hours of sunshine. Protected pergolas and brise‑soleil elements create shaded living areas without blocking the panorama, so you can dine al fresco, lounge in a shaded corner or sunbathe on the solarium. A private pool area on the terrace offers an intimate place to swim and cool off while watching yachts cross the bay below. These terraces are designed to be lived on: planted corners, room for dining and lounging, and clear visual access to the Mediterranean make the outside an extension of the interior.

The Development: A Garden Above the Sea
La Baie des Saphirs sits like a small, elegant enclave on the heights of Èze. The architecture combines regional stone tones with contemporary lines and aluminium brise‑soleils, creating a building that feels both modern and perfectly at home in its Mediterranean setting. Landscaped gardens, palm and olive plantings and private walkways thread the development, producing an oasis of calm around a shared swimming pool that visually meets the horizon.

Roof gardens and planted terraces further blend the complex into the surrounding slopes, while glass balustrades preserve the views from the lower levels. The result is a quietly refined residence where privacy and panorama coexist: leafy courtyards and communal relaxation spaces sit within a sheltered, sun‑drenched setting.

Materials of choice and clean detailing shape an interior of understated elegance: large-format tiles offer a contemporary canvas marble-effect worktops and quality sanitary ware bring a sense of permanence.

Local beaches and some of the coast’s finest coves are within easy reach, while Nice airport and Monaco are accessible by short drives — making it straightforward to travel, entertain guests or escape for weekends on the water.

Mornings might begin with a walk through Mediterranean scrub to a favourite viewpoint afternoons melt into the terrace with a book by the pool evenings are made for long dinners beneath a pergola, the lights of the bay reflected in the sea.
