Villa mauresque, Cultural heritage villa in Hyères, France

The Villa Mauresque features overhanging arches, crenellations, and a belvedere-minaret with a dome, maintaining the structure of a classic contemporary residence.

Constructed in 1881 by architect Pierre Chapoulart for industrialist Alexis Godillot, the villa received Queen Victoria in its gardens during her visit in 1892.

The villa displays geometric patterns in ceramic tiles on its facade and contains woodcut arches in the grand salon alongside a fireplace with multicolored marble.

The residence comprises three levels: a basement for common areas, a ground floor with living spaces, and an upper floor dedicated to bedrooms.

The property incorporates oriental ornamentation applied to classic architectural design, as documented in architecture publications from its construction period.
