CHATEAU DE LA CROIX DES GARDES

An idyllic setting immortalised on the silver screen, breathtaking views and Florentine-inspired architecture... The Château de la Croix des Gardes, nestling on the hillside of Cannes, has remained one of the Côte d'Azur's iconic properties since the beginning of the last century. Today, it stands as the only castle overlooking the Bay of Cannes, offering a breathtaking view from sunrise to sunset. This jewel boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the Lérins Islands, the Mediterranean Sea and snow-capped peaks.
This Cannes château is a haven of peace, where serenity, confidentiality and security are synonymous with exclusivity.

With its 10,000 m2 of lush gardens, 3,900 m2 divided between 7 buildings and 16 bedrooms, Château de la Croix des Gardes dazzles with its size and tranquillity. This residence is a haven of peace, despite being just ten minutes from the Croisette and its summer hustle and bustle. Like the famous Carlton, this château made history by appearing in Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Hand in the Snare". The graceful footsteps of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant echo between the fountains, waterfalls and stone statues of the château, renamed Villa Sanford for the occasion. Today, this prestigious property is a haven for the elite, seduced by its infinity pool offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Estérel massif. Renovated in 1960 and again in 2021, Château de la Croix des Gardes boasts rose-tinted walls, neo-classical arches and landscaped grounds with fruit trees, palm trees and stone pathways. Framed by pairs of cypress trees at either end, the swimming pool evokes the atmosphere of a film set.
