Chateau Charlene | 10 BRs

Perched majestically overlooking the breathtaking vistas of Cannes, Mandelieu, and the scenic Esterel mountain range, this exceptional property is the epitome of luxury and historical significance. Originally crafted as a monastery, it was transformed into an aristocratic Riviera villa by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1912, a rarity in his portfolio of works outside the UK.

Steeped in a rich tapestry of history, the château has witnessed the passage of time, serving as a cherished holiday haven for the Baron of Wolverton post-World War I, and later as the prestigious headquarters of MIP/MIDEM during the 1980s and 1990s, hosting illustrious guests and glamorous celebrity soirées.

Today, the château stands as a testament to timeless elegance, having undergone meticulous renovations to seamlessly marry modern comfort with its storied past. Boasting opulent entertainment spaces, including the grand “Grand Salon” and the cosy “smoking room & bar,” as well as a library and dining room, the ground floor is a haven of sophistication and charm.

The three magnificent master suites in the South Wing each offer unrivalled luxury and privacy, complete with spacious living areas, private terraces, and sweeping views of the azure sea. Meanwhile, the North Wing houses four luxurious Garden View guest rooms, ensuring every guest experiences the epitome of comfort and tranquillity.

Outside, the enchanting 5-hectare park, surrounded by 15 hectares of pristine forest, offers a sanctuary of natural beauty. From the ancient olive grove and traditional rose garden to the formal French Terrace and expansive main lawn, every corner of the estate exudes timeless elegance and serenity.

For those seeking leisure and recreation, the property boasts an unparalleled array of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, tournament-size clay tennis court, and a chipping & putting golf practice area. Whether strolling through the olive groves, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a game of tennis, every moment is imbued with a sense of luxury and tranquillity.
