Villa Trinidad

Nestled on the prestigious Avenue de l’Impératrice, Villa Trinidad embodies the opulent cultural heritage of Biarritz. A true testament to the Art Deco era, this architectural gem was crafted in 1922 by the renowned French architect Charles Siclis and has undergone a meticulous restoration overseen by its owner, Emmanuel Cazals of Les Maisons Fabel. You’ll never tire of its prime location, right next to the Hôtel du Palais, three minutes from the Grande Plage, and close to the shops of the St Charles district.

The villa features six bedrooms and five bathrooms to cater to diverse preferences. And that’s not all – there’s a dedicated yoga room in the basement, a charming library, a cozy fireplace, a music and reading room… And then, there’s the kitchen, designed with a workshop-style island and seamlessly connected to a dining room overlooking the pool. Every aspect is thoughtfully designed with vacation living in mind. Families will find everything they require, thanks to a comprehensive children’s package, including games, books, and baby equipment. As a special touch, guests can enjoy EQ toiletries in all Les Maisons Fabel properties, sourced from a Biarritz-based company that actively promotes ocean preservation.

The name Villa Trinidad carries a unique history, filled with exoticism and intrigue. The couple responsible for building it shares a fascinating connection to the Caribbean, which adds a special charm to the property. The wife, born in Port of Spain on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the 1890s, brings a piece of Caribbean history and culture. Her parents, who likely held important positions in the Port of Spain, would have influenced her career and, in turn, the villa’s character itself. This connection resonates with Emmanuel, the current owner of the Villa, as it links the distant Caribbean with the French Atlantic coast. It enriches Villa Trinidad with an international yet intimate aura, emphasizing the significance of personal histories and roots in creating truly unique places.

The recent renovation of the house has uncovered original frescoes dating back to 1922, including one depicting bathers. It also facilitated the splendid restoration of an original stained glass window by Jean Lesquibe. This meticulous attention to detail has revitalized the artwork, which prominently showcases several Basque pelota players, restoring it to its former glory.
