Cannes – Lérins Islands – Private Estate

Wonderfully situated in the south of the Lérins Islands, just a 10-minute boat ride from Cannes, this exceptional private estate of approximately 1.3 hectares lies in the most protected and fertile part of the island. It is enclosed by a wall built on the orders of Cardinal Richelieu. This historic property is the only one of its kind on the island and was once home to such luminaries as Louis XIV, the King of France, the Duke of Guise, and the Governor of Provence. The main villa, the Tower, and the original guest house were built between the 12th and 17th centuries. Its landscaped garden abounds with fruit trees and boasts around a hundred different flowers. The property features 12 en suite bedrooms, a professional kitchen, a living/dining room, a spa, a gym, and a swimming pool.
