Hello! My name is Marina! A friend I met on the plane to Brazil calls me "the little explorer. " I think she's right! I am passionate about travel, nature, art, and architecture, drawn to everything that is different from me, everything that is foreign and unknown. Twenty years ago, thanks to the international exchange program Erasmus, I discovered France and immediately fell in love with it. After completing my undergraduate studies in Rome, I seized the opportunity to pursue art history studies at the renowned Ecole du Louvre in Paris. I arrived in Paris full of hope and with the determination to stay! And so, between ups and downs, love and challenges, I spent 13 years in the most romantic capital in the world. I knew Paris like the back of my hand, but as I love adventure, discovering new places, and embracing new challenges, I made the decision to move to the south of France, to Nice, the city where my two best friends from Paris had relocated! Nice was a heartwarming experience for me! I felt like I was back in my hometown, Formia, nestled between the sea and the mountains, just like Nice. As soon as I unpacked my bags in my new apartment, I said to myself, "Why didn't I move here sooner?" The architecture, colors, mild climate, vegetation, blue sky, sea, and mountains - everything reminds me of Italy at every moment. I feel like I'm enjoying the best of both cousin countries! So I started anew here, and even though it's not always easy, all I have to do is look at the horizon of the sea to remind myself of these encouraging words from Victor Hugo: "The horizon underlines the infinite!" There are a thousand and one possibilities in every moment of life, and with each passing moment, I want to open up my life more and more, live intensely, and savor every emotion. That's what I want to share with you - not just stories and anecdotes. Thank you! MBA in Art history Tour Guide License I am not a driver.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty and history of these remarkable architectural gems. Let's begin our journey! Our first destination is Villa Kerylos in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. This unique villa transports us back to ancient Greece, allowing us to experience the architectural wonders of the Hellenistic period. The villa's exterior, characterized by its white stone façade and colonnades, resembles an ancient Greek palace overlooking the azure Mediterranean Sea. Our next stop is the enchanting Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. This Renaissance-inspired architectural marvel is a testament to the elegance and grandeur of the Belle Époque era. As we approach the villa, the façade's ornate balconies, colorful frescoes, and sculptural details transport us to a bygone era of opulence. The highlight of the villa is undoubtedly its breathtaking themed gardens. Each garden represents a different world, from the French Garden with its neatly trimmed hedges to the Spanish Garden.
