Cannes - Superb apartment in a townhouse in a historic palace

Croix des Gardes - In 1861, Marquis de Vallombrosa acquired the Chateau Tour, built in 1852, and turned it into an exclusive residence for hosting his distinguished guests, including Queen Victoria, Charles Gounod, Duke and Duchess of Luynes, and the Count of Paris. He built two additional wings, a chapel, and expanded the park with various plant species and even a small zoo, to the delight of his visitors. In 1893, a hotel was established here, and in 1937, it became the residence Parc Vallombrosa. Today, you have the opportunity to live in this historic building, listed on, thanks to this renovated apartment where all the antique elements have been preserved and restored to their original state. You will be charmed by the room sizes and high ceilings typical of apartments from this period. The apartment consists of an entrance hall leading to a spacious double living room with sea views and a kitchen-dining room, a long corridor with antique wooden finishes leading to 4 bedrooms, two of which have their own bathrooms, a large storage room, and a laundry room. On-street parking and the possibility of renting a garage from co-owners complement this exceptional home. The property is sold with co-ownership status taken into account. Information on the risks faced by this property is available on the Géorisques website: georisques.gouv.fr
