Villa Furtado-Heine, 18th century villa on Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France.

Villa Furtado-Heine is a three-story neoclassical structure with ornate wrought iron gates facing the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. The residence contains numerous rooms decorated with period details and sits within a park planted with tropical and Mediterranean species.

Lady Penelope Atkins had an Italian-style seaside palace built here between 1784 and 1787. Confiscated as émigré property in 1792, it was sold in 1800 to Sébastien Grandis and later passed through several owners. Cécile Furtado-Heine bought it in 1882, added a floor for her staff, and in 1895 bequeathed it to the War Ministry as a convalescent home for officers.

The villa is also called villa des Officiers, a name recalling its 1895 conversion into a rest home for wounded or sick officers. Cécile Furtado-Heine, widow of banker Salomon Heine and granddaughter of banker Beer Léon Fould, gave it to the Ministry of War after epidemics struck troops returning from Madagascar. She had earlier funded charities and the Pasteur hospital in Paris.

The villa stands between the rue de France and the Promenade des Anglais, with its wrought-iron gate opening onto the promenade. It now serves as a military hotel, so the building is not open to the public as a museum; visitors see the facade, the rusticated base and the plaque reading "VILLA FURTADO-HEINE" from the street.

Before 1863 the astronomer Edward Cooper, from Dublin, set up what was then Europe's largest astronomical telescope in the villa's park, while it belonged to the banker Auguste Carlone, to carry out observations. The instrument stood among the trees of the garden, not in an observatory.
