LA CALIFORNIE

Villas and Apartments for sale in La Californie, Cannes

La Californie is one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Cannes, and shares many of the characteristics of its namesake across the Atlantic: the climate, luxury residential properties, beautiful villas and apartments, attracting residents and visitors from all over the world. Situated on the eastern side of Cannes, La Californie is a hideaway of places with names borrowed from history, such as Villa Fiesole, La Résidence du Château de Thorenc, La Villa Fiorentina, Le Château Louis XIII, La Villa Rothschild, and La Villa Saint Prieste.

La Californie is also known as “la colline des milliardaires,” or the “hill of billionaires,” with magnificent properties boasting splendid panoramic views of the sea, from the Alps in the east to the Estérel Mountains in the west. The Cap d'Antibes, Juan les Pins, and Cannes are just below. The Isles de Lérins are clearly visible offshore: Saint Honorat, with the oldest working monastery in Europe, and Saint Marguerite, home to the fort where “the Man with the Iron Mask” was imprisoned for 14 years.

La Californie offers panoramic views and prestigious properties. Avenue Roi Albert is one of the most renowned addresses in La Californie (and in all of France), featuring fabulous historic residences and some of the most beautiful properties in Cannes. Historically, this avenue was home to Russian, American, and English owners who built exceptional villas along its length.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert enjoyed holidays in La Californie, as did Edward and Wallis Simpson, the Rothschilds, and Russian aristocracy. Today, world-class luxury properties are found in this magnificent area of Cannes, La Californie.
