Somerset Maugham lived at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. He bought the property in 1926 from a bishop and created one of the most beautiful artistic gardens in the world.

The rectangular swimming pool at Villa Mauresque, Somerset Maugham’s home in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Bordered by a stone deck and a rugged cliff face, the pool is a serene feature within the lush, artistic gardens the writer began creating after acquiring the property in 1926. At the far end, a statue of a seated man serves as a water feature, flanked by classical pedestals, while mature trees complete the scene of private luxury.
