General & History

A cross between a Moorish Pasha’s Folly and the Brighton Pavilion, this gloriously extravagant palazzo has incomparable views of the Mediterranean, and is perfectly positioned to enjoy the full glitz of the Cannes film festival.

Built in the 19th century, the no-expense-spared heyday of fantasy architecture, the Villa retains the unabashed glamour of its era, combined with easy comfort and extraordinary privacy.

This is, in short, a pleasure palace. The airy bedrooms look out over the sparkling blue of the sea, or the vibrant colour of the bougainvillea and the turquoise water of the swimming pool in the peaceful, enclosed garden.

Five minutes walk and you can enjoy sandy beaches, and for total relaxation after a hard day’s tanning, the villa has a Jacuzzi and sauna on the premises.
