Excellent facility. I’ve worked out of 50 libraries in Europe over the past three years and this beautiful villa ranks as one of the highlights. The Wi-Fi however fails consistently when trying to upload large files which is not ideal. Apart from that I would highly recommend this location to browse books and work or study remotely for a day.

This is one of the best public libraries I’ve visited! In a 19th century villa setting. I’d be there all day if you prefer a good read in a quiet environment. The grounds are fantastic for walking, get a fresh air or even sit to meditate outside if you prefer. The library is also close to downtown and ocean promenade if you don’t mind a longer walk.

Beautiful gardens, but the inside is more of a library than a sight seeing place

Beautiful historic villa and gardens, the interior is set up as a library and it probably could have been a little more "in synch" with the host building but it's still a beauty to visit. Walk all the way up to the video rentals on the last floor to admire the view from the South windows!

What a surprise! Just a short walk from the centre of Cannes this is basically a working library with history, views and interesting gardens - no charge for entry. The building is a Rothschild mansion and we were very fortunate that one of the staff gave us an impromptu tour of the public rooms when she heard our accents, they love visitors. No photos allowed inside but you can imagine the gatherings in the 1920's, the opulence and the vision of Betty Rothschild. It doesn't take long to wander round but it is an unexpected gem.

Sensational ! The fountains throughout the gardens were timed to classical music. It seemed as If there were five Gardens within one garden. Japanese garden desert, garden tropical, garden classical and old style European garden. I was also surprised by the views of The Mediterranean Sea. Inside the palace was also well decorated and cared for. Once or twice a month they have dinner to live music at night. The only negative is finding the palace palace. It can be quite tricky.

Beautiful building and garden. Co vetted I to library. Be sure not to confuse this Villa with the one near Nice (Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild)

I highly recommend this place! The villa and the gardens are amazing
