Discover Villa Florentine, an architectural treasure located in Montreux, designed in 1894 by Napoléon Jules Philiben Clerc, a renowned local architect. This historic residence, initially built as a private home, has been sublimely restored by its current owner, transforming it into one of the most unique homes in Switzerland.

This property, a testament to the grand development era of Montreux, was commissioned by Alexander Emery, an influential figure and owner of prestigious hotels in the region. Its grand living room, with breathtaking views of the lake, retains the original design with a plaster and gold leaf ceiling, while the vaulted entrance leads to an ornate corridor and a staircase equipped with stained glass and a skylight.

Villa Florentine skillfully blends tradition and modernity. An elevator serves all floors, offering modern comfort. It currently has 6 bedrooms, with the potential for expansion on the second floor, which is dedicated to numerous offices and meeting rooms.

The living spaces, including a Pompeian indoor pool opening onto a sunlit terrace and a beautiful garden, offer panoramic views of the lake and the Alps.

Its privileged location in the heart of Montreux places this master property just steps away 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, featuring a shaded terrace, a barbecue area, and a pool, providing a relaxation space in the city center.

In summary, Villa Florentine is not just a prestigious property; it is a haven of life that combines classic elegance with an exceptional central location, allowing you to fully experience the beauty of Montreux and Lake Geneva.

It is worth noting that the property includes two outdoor parking spaces and currently rents three parking spaces located opposite the building.
