Very interesting, very early European modern house. Bit of a climb to get there. Rooms rather cluttered with unrelated art work. Great garden. Wonderful views. Shop.

I also hoped for a more stylish villa, like old school but in fact it's super modern.

I had hoped for a little more architectural context, of which little was found. Nice, but I am a little confused over the brouhaha around this place. Varied design from the residents when I visited.

I'm a French design, every summer I love to go to Villa Noailles, and see the new designers presented for the design parade. The villa is an vintage 1920 architecture, that has an elegance established. New-York has Top of the rock, Hyeres has the Villa Noailles, from the top of the hill you can see the entire town and more.

Well, I must be missing something because I don't really understand what all the fuss is about when it comes to this place. Truthfully, I found it a bit dull. I just couldn't get into the modern look of the building. To me it's not a very attractive place. There isn't anything altogether pleasing about the architecture and the exterior is a ruddy, gray stucco that looks like it needs to be redone. Also, it was somewhat difficult to maneuver. There is no furniture left, it's just empty hall ways and strange corridors. The only interesting thing I found was that the indoor pool had been turned into a event room with a glass floor. You can actually see the empty swimming pool through the glass. That was a neat twist on a design idea. The one thing the villa does have going for it is the beautiful view of the village of Hyères. That is absolutely magnificent. However, the gardens just below the house are the real treat with wonderful little passage ways, flowers, trees, a maze, etc. In my opinion, skip the house and go straight to the gardens. That is where the real architecture lies, unless of course you're a modern art lover, then the villa might just be up your alley.
