The park of Villa Guide is classified, but construction work within the existing building is not although all modifications are subject to the approval of the Architect of the Buildings of France.
The house has undergone many modifications in the 19th and 20th century. Between 2000 and 2004, it was substantially refurbished, with the intention of creating 3 separate residences. These works not having been completed, the Villa can be arranged according to the needs/wishes of its owner, either as a single substantial residence or as a condominium with three separate, totally independent apartments, each with a private entry and its own garden, with a common main entrance driveway.

The Guide estate dates back to the turn of the 16th century. It is part of Antibes historical heritage and thereby protected. Half a century ago, it was divided into two different properties. Both being for sale at the same time now, there are three different possibilities: to buy one or the other of the existing properties or to reunite them so as to reconstitute the last and largest over 5 000 m2 - historic estate of Antibes, where painters such as Pablo Picasso and writers like Somerset Maugham were at home. The two properties are known as “Mas” (the word means farm in provençal) and “Villa” GUIDE.
