Property of the Week – Cannes

Set between the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Alps, Cannes offers an everyday quality of life that goes far beyond its red-carpet reputation. 

Cannes has a rare ability to feel both glamorous and genuinely livable. Residents enjoy clean beaches, a beautifully maintained seafront, excellent schools and healthcare, and a walkable city centre where markets, cafés, and marinas are part of daily life. The climate is a major draw – mild winters, long sunny summers, and far less humidity than many coastal cities – while Nice Airport nearby makes international travel effortless. Despite its global profile, Cannes retains a strong sense of community, especially in neighbourhoods like La Californie, Oxford, and Le Suquet.

From a real estate perspective, Cannes remains one of the most resilient and desirable markets in Europe. Property here benefits from consistent international demand, limited supply, and strong long-term value retention, making it attractive for both lifestyle buyers and investors. 

Whether it’s a Belle Époque villa with sea views, a modern apartment near La Croisette, or a quieter residence just inland, Cannes offers a wide range of options with solid rental potential. The city’s year-round appeal—driven by festivals, conferences, and tourism—means properties are not dependent on a single season, which helps protect value and income. Simply put, Cannes combines beauty, stability, and global prestige in a way few places can.

Perched in the highly sought-after hills of La Californie, just 300m from the Mediterranean shoreline, this luxury Art Deco villa dating from the late 1920s perfectly embodies the timeless elegance of the French Riviera. Combining historic charm with modern comfort, it offers exceptional outdoor spaces reminiscent of a private resort, complete with panoramic sea views.

Built on 3 levels, this prestigious property gracefully blends the character of its period architecture with high-end finishes. The main level is designed for entertaining, featuring a fully equipped open-plan kitchen that flows into the dining area, and a spacious, light-filled living room with breathtaking views of the sea and landscaped gardens. This floor also includes a cloakroom and guest WC.

On the upper level, the luxurious master suite offers an intimate and elegant setting, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, a bright home office, and a refined marble bathroom featuring a bathtub, walk-in shower, double vanity, bidet, and heated towel rails. A second en-suite bedroom, also facing the Mediterranean, completes this floor.

The garden level is ideal for hosting family or guests, comprising two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, a secondary living room, and a spectacular oak wine cellar capable of storing several hundred bottles.

Outside, this villa with infinity pool truly captures the essence of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle. From the landscaped gardens and expansive terraces, the panoramic view stretches across the Lérins Islands, Palm Beach, and the Cap d’Antibes.

The covered pool house offers a flexible space for relaxing or entertaining, equipped with a shower and WC, while the fully equipped summer kitchen (with built-in gas barbecue, deep fryer, stone countertops, and a large dining table under a retractable awning) is perfect for stylish outdoor gatherings.
