« Magnifique et difficile à assembler. Il me manque quelques outils et de la colle, mais le produit était très bien emballé et est arrivé rapidement. »
One more lit window on your bookshelf.
A white three-story villa facing the sea on the Mediterranean coast: palm trees, a porch swing under a pergola, a bedroom with star patterns, a hanging terrace with deck chairs. The Riviera Villa brings this scene into your home, room by room, and lights up like a real house when night falls.
Three stories, an LED in every room
It's the only model in the catalog built on three levels, with independent lighting in each room: the living room, the starry bedroom, the terrace. Five to eight hours of building, intermediate level: the techniques stay simple, and it's the height that impresses once it's done. A complete change of mood from our Japanese scenes: here it's all white, blue and palm trees.
Who is it for? Anyone ready for a more ambitious project than a classic book nook. A collector's piece for anyone who loves miniature houses and detailed worlds. A centerpiece for a shelf.
Assembled dimensions: 11 × 12.8 × 9.4 cm

Your questions about The Riviera Villa miniature house
Your questions about this kit
How long does it take to build?
Allow 5 to 8 hours, in one go or in short sessions.
Does each floor light up separately?
Yes: the kit includes one LED per room, from the living room to the starry bedroom and the terrace. It's the only model in the catalog lit room by room: everywhere else, the lighting is a single light or split across two zones.

How The Riviera Villa miniature house compares to our other kits
It's the only model in the catalog built on three stories, and the only one where every room gets its own LED: everywhere else, the lighting is a single light or split across two zones. Yet it's still rated Intermediate, while The Cherry Blossom House and its 258 pieces move up to Advanced and take a full weekend. Here, 5 to 8 hours is enough. That makes it the most ambitious kit in the catalog before you step up a level: and that next step is The Cherry Blossom House.
A villa to build. A light to switch on in every room.
This model is part of our miniature house kits. The loop comes full circle with The Kyoto Bazaar, the Japanese grocery and its 478 pieces. It's also one of our multi-story wooden miniature houses and, thanks to its level, part of our selection of model kits to build.

Je pense que ma petite-fille sera ravie, elle est déjà grande et elle s'amusera beaucoup à assembler cette belle petite maison, et j'espère qu'elle en profitera énormément. Je sais que ça va être magnifique !! Merci, elle est arrivée bien en avance car je l'ai commandée tard. Excellent vendeur, merci !!
Plus petit que ce que j'imaginais, mais vraiment mignon et de haute qualité. Il faut acheter des fournitures supplémentaires comme de la colle, des chiffres, une règle et un stylo.
Magnifique et difficile à assembler. Il me manque quelques outils et de la colle, mais le produit était très bien emballé et est arrivé rapidement.
Il est arrivé bien emballé et semble de bonne qualité, mais je ne l'ai pas encore ouvert car je n'ai pas le temps de l'assembler. J'ai hâte de commencer. J'adore faire ça.
Joli petit ensemble miniature. Comprend toutes les pièces nécessaires, les pièces en bois sont toutes précolorées et prêtes à être collées (aucun limage/débavurage nécessaire). J'avais déjà monté l'autre version de ce produit (maison de style japonais) et tout était parfaitement emballé, sans aucune pièce manquante. J'ai hâte de voir celui-ci assemblé.
