Exceptional Villas in Cannes with Sea View

Croisette: Belle Époque Villas and Neoclassical Palaces

The Croisette is the showcase of Cannes. Its waterfront is a masterpiece of Belle Époque and Art Deco architecture. Majestic villas resembling Venetian palaces stand alongside elegant buildings with ornate facades.

It was here, on this legendary promenade, that the European aristocracy loved to be seen as early as the 19th century. This lavish heritage is reflected in the iconic villas lining the bay.

In the heart of the bay, we have found sumptuous waterfront properties—true gems, some dating back to the late 19th century:

• Facades made of cut stone or lime plaster in delicate pastel shades
• Colonnades, frescoes, and period plasterwork meticulously restored
• Marble staircases, marquetry floors, and crystal chandeliers
• Spacious terraces with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean
• Landscaped gardens featuring rare species and ornamental pools

These prestigious villas have been renovated with the finest materials while respecting their original architecture—a remarkable expertise that enhances these historically rich properties.

Inside, the elegance matches the exterior setting:

• Grand entrance halls with double or triple-height ceilings
• Sunlit reception rooms in a row
• Spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms
• Gym, hammam, and wine cellar for collectors

State-of-the-art amenities have been discreetly integrated to preserve the soul of these properties. Invisible home automation, ambient lighting, and high-fidelity audio systems ensure excellence in every detail.
