Covering nearly 600 sqm of living space all of the rooms are of generous sizes, bathed in sunlight and enjoy sensational views across the Villefranche bay to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. There are four en-suite bedrooms in all, spacious reception and lounge areas, an elegant dining room and a fully fitted kitchen opening onto a garden terrace that’s perfect for lunch or evening dinners with guests.

There is also a charming guest apartment nestling inside one of the stone turrets, and two further apartments for staff accomodation. The château has been fitted with an elevator providing effortless access to all levels.

Outdoors, the surrounding mature gardens, lined with century old pine trees have been beautifully landscaped to provide calm and intimacy. A particularly large swimming pool has been set aside in a private corner of the grounds, surrounded by south facing terra cotta terraces with sea views.

This is a one off opportunity to purchase a historical landmark in a first class location only 20 minutes from Monaco and Nice Cote d’Azur airport with panoramic sea views over the most emblematic bay of the French Riviera .The château has been lovingly maintained, regardless of cost and carefully updated to preserve it’s unique atmosphere.
