The existing Riviera Estates offices will be fully branded and operated as Savills offices and will continue to market some of the high-end residential properties on the French Riviera.
Jean Claude Caputo, chief executive of Riviera Estates, will become managing director of the Savills French Riviera network and will be responsible for the offices in Nice, St Tropez, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Valbonne, La Colle sur Loup, Monaco and Courchevel covering both sales and seasonal rentals.
Rupert Sebag-Montefiore, head of Savills global residential, said: 'Many of our international buyers, having bought in London, then look to buy in the south of France or the Alps. We have worked very effectively with Riviera Estates for many years and this acquisition is a positive next step in servicing our international clients.'
Savills has over 500 offices in 45 countries.
