What we love
- Historical and Majestic Property Overlooking The Bay of Cannes
- Beautifully Manicured 5 Hectare parc
- Private Clay Tennis Court
Overlooking the bay of Cannes, Mandelieu, and the Esterel mountain range, Chateau Charlene is nestled in a beautifully manicured 5-hectare parc and 15 hectares of forest. The property offers beautiful living spaces and suites.
The château is of approximately 1,400 m² and was originally built as a monastery by the monks of the isles of Lerins and converted to an aristocratic Riviera villa by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1912. Lutyens is considered one of the greatest British architects, responsible for the viceroy’s palace in New Delhi, the British embassy in Washington and the Cenotaph at Whitehall. Private residences by his hand outside of the UK are extremely rare.
The château was acquired by the Baron of Wolverton after the First World War and served as the Riviera holiday house of the family for many decades. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was the headquarters of MIP/MIDEM and hosted countless movie stars and celebrity parties.
Today, the château presents itself completely renovated, upgraded to modern standard, with state-of-the-art domotic, air conditioning, wifi and security. It features generous entertainment spaces, 3 master suites, and a variety of additional guest acommodation and staff quarters.
