Rub shoulders with everyone from A-listers to oligarchs during your stay at this stunning villa, situated in a privileged position overlooking the Bay of Cannes. The views are truly awe-inspiring, and the house is designed to make the most of them from every one of the numerous outdoor spaces. So whether you're lounging by the pool, mixing your own cocktails at the bar, or soaking in the hot tub, the glistening Mediterranean is rarely out of your line of sight. Inside, the villa is a mix of classic French styling, more rustic features and all the mod cons to create a Riviera retreat that's the epitome of low-key luxury. And by that, we mean you shouldn't be worried to bring your children along. With six bedrooms and plenty of space for socialising, it's perfectly set up for family holidays and getaways with friends. If you can bear to leave the villa, there's lots to explore right on your doorstep – from the sandy beaches and restaurants of Theoule-Sur-Mer and the glamour of La Croisette to the beauty of Antibes and the fragrant town of Grasse, everything you could need ranges from a ten-minute walk to a half-hour drive.

But Cannes' dazzle reaches far beyond the flash of the paparazzi's cameras. Yes, Porsche-admiring and celeb-spotting are some of this city’s perennial pastimes, but scratch beneath the surface and you’ll see a city rich in culture and natural beauty. Stroll along...
