Villa Kerylos in Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a Greek-style property built in the early 1900s by French archaeologist Theodore Reinach. Reinach admired the architecture, interior decoration and art of the ancient world and decided to recreate the atmosphere of a luxurious Greek villa in a new building. He purchased land surrounded on three sides by the sea at Beaulieu-sur-Mer which he felt offered a location similar to that of coastal Greek temples. Construction of the building began in 1902 and took 6 years to complete. Reinach commissioned exact copies of ancient Grecian furniture kept in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples from the cabinetmaker Bettenfeld. Upon his death in 1928, Reinach bequeathed the property to the Institute de France.
