Origin and history

Villa Furtado-Heine, also known as Villa des Officiers, is a villa located between the Rue de France and the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Built in 1787 for Lady Penelope Pitt-Rivers, former wife of a pair in England, it was confiscated in 1792 during the French invasion and declared a well-demigrated. Occupied by the Genius troops, it was sold in 1800 to Sébastien Grandis, a rich Nice owner, and took the name of Villa Grandis.

In 1807 and 1813 Pauline Borghèse, sister of Napoleon I, stayed there, as did Princess Marie-Louise of Spain in 1809-1811. The villa changed hands several times: bought by Louis Guiglia, former president of the Senate of Nice, and then by Auguste Carlone, banker and supporter of Nice's attachment to France. He welcomed astronomer Edward Cooper, who installed an astronomical bezel.

In 1882 Cécile Furtado-Heine, widow of banker Salomon Heine and granddaughter of Beer Léon Fould, acquired the villa. It adds a floor for its domesticity and a wrought iron gate. In 1895 she bequeathed the property to the War Department, which made it a house of convalescence for officers. The villa was listed as historical monuments in 1961.
