Discover the Villa Florentine, an architectural treasure located in Montreux, designed in 1894 by Napoléon Jules Philiben Clerc, a renowned local architect. This historic mansion, originally built as a private residence, has been sublimely restored by its current owner, transforming it into one of the most unique homes in Switzerland.
This property, a testament to Montreux's era of grandiose development, was commissioned by Alexander Emery, an influential figure and owner of prestigious hotels in the region. Its grand salon, with stunning views of the lake, retains the original design with a plaster and gold leaf ceiling, while the arched entrance leads to an ornate hallway and a staircase with stained glass windows and a skylight.
Villa Florentine skillfully combines tradition and modernity. An elevator serves all floors, offering modern comfort. It currently has 6 bedrooms, with potential for extension on the second floor, which is dedicated to numerous offices and meeting rooms.
The living areas, including a Pompeian indoor swimming pool opening onto a sun terrace and a magnificent garden, offer panoramic views of the lake and the Alps.
Its privileged location in the heart of Montreux places this mansion just a few steps from Lake Geneva, offering direct access to picturesque walks and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The interior of the villa reflects exquisite comfort and refinement, with large windows bathing the rooms in natural light.
The garden at the back of the house is an oasis of tranquility, with a shaded terrace, barbecue area and swimming pool, offering a relaxing space in the heart of the city.
In short, Villa Florentine is not only a prestigious property, it is a haven of life that combines classic elegance and an exceptional central location, allowing you to fully experience the beauty of Montreux and Lake Geneva.
It should be noted that the property includes two outdoor parking spaces and currently rents three parking spaces located in front of the building.
