Overview

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the French Riviera, this property is built on the ruins of an ancient Templar Knight fortress dating back to the 12th century. The current "château" was built in 1936 and retains a regal, defensive posture with panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The architecture is a study in Provencal elegance, featuring stone walls, terraced gardens filled with century-old olive trees, and an 18th-century chapel. It is a bastion of quiet luxury in the hills above the coast, offering a historical perspective of the Côte d'Azur that feels more connected to the land and its medieval heritage than the glitz of the shoreline.
