Nothing epitomizes French luxury quite like staying in a castle. While Villa Le Castel might not be a castle in the traditional sense, it’s about as close as you’ll probably ever get. Located in the heart of Vallauris, a town renowned for its pottery and ceramics, Villa Le Castel is a magnificent villa that’s the perfect blend of comfort and opulence. The villa has six bedrooms, each with its own character, and the decor combines modern luxury with traditional elegance.
As you’d probably expect from an estate of this size, there are plenty of luxurious diversions around the property. In addition to the tennis court, sundeck, and library, there’s also a swimming pool, glass sauna, multi-sport field, hiking trails through the woods, and outdoor dining area perfect for having lunch or dinner surrounded by nature.
The dining experience at Villa Le Castel is another highlight. Whether you choose to have a quiet meal by the pool or host a grand dinner party, the villa offers a multitude of ideal settings. With a fully equipped kitchen, you can prepare your meals or hire a private chef to cater to your culinary desires.
Not that you’d ever want to actually leave the villa, but its proximity to Cannes, just a 10-minute drive from the Promenade de la Croisette and the Palace of Festivals and Conferences, is another reason to stay here. It’s the perfect base for exploring the local area, including the nearby Picasso Museum and the charming Old Town of Vallauris.

There are many legends of Isola Bella: The tiny island in Lake Maggiore belonged to Italy's storied Borromeo clan for 500 years. But more recently, it played host to Louis Vuitton's resort show, a fantastical reimagining of one tale involving mermaids who transformed into flowers upon its shores—a notion translated by artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière into dreamy pastel gowns with blooms of organza and sweeping architectural hems, presented alongside custom-made headwear by a Roman opera atelier. After the show, the first ever hosted by the maison in Italy, other French houses followed, with Dior presenting a jewelry collection and Jacquemus opening a store. Here, tips for experiencing the region's legendary dolce vita.
