Located in the heart of southern France’s Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, Villa Lanvin offers a sublime sanctuary within the bustling city of Cannes.
This stylish holiday home is designed in a neo-Provençal style and has been tastefully renovated to offer every home comfort. It boasts three floors built on an elevated, landscaped garden offering a front-row seat to spectacular sea views of the twinkling Mediterranean coastline below.
In its wonderful simplicity, Villa Lanvin is incredibly striking. Step inside and you will find a bright, open-plan living area and dazzling modern kitchen separated by exquisite marble pillars. A snow-white colour palette features throughout and is offset with neutral furnishings, art-deco fixtures and pops of blue, instantly evoking the feeling of being at the sea. This sublimity continues to the upper floors where you can find four double bedrooms and a children’s room, all minimalist yet beautifully decorated. The master suite is truly incredible and has an en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath alongside a glass shower.
Stepping out to the wonderful decked terrace, it feels like an oasis of calm, a place you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. There’s an outdoor bar and dining area perfect for entertaining and enjoying excellent local cuisine while watching the sun go down, and the many relaxation spots offer a great sense of comfort too. The large swimming pool looks out to the sea and is framed by palm trees making you feel like you're holidaying on a far-away tropical island.
While there’s plenty to do and discover in the area, only a 10-minute drive brings you to the centre of Cannes – a resort city with a glitzy character and rustic charm. Here you can wander around the winding streets and paths lined with casinos, restaurants and bars, or cool down in the sea on one of the city’s popular sandy beaches.
In 15 minutes by car, you can reach Théoule-sur-Mer, which is tucked away in a small inlet among the rocks of the Esterel Mountains with an array of sandy beaches backed by cliffs, as well as many vantage spots with mesmerising views.
For more buzz and to explore the French Riviera even further, choose Nice or Antibes as your next day trip destination. While both host an array of ambient restaurants, lovely beaches and landmarks to see, they are also suitable for those looking for history and art – and notably Nice has ensnared many visitors with its array of museums such as the Musées Matisse, Chagall and d’Art Moderne – all being a superb reason to justify an aesthetic pilgrimage here.
