Sanctuary Villas & Apartments

The Côte d’Azur basks luxuriously along the sunny southern extremes of France, with its beaches gently shelving into the sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea and the shelter of the magnificent Alpes Maritimes. There is something for everyone along this eclectic shoreline, from the Principality of Monaco in the east, to the idyllic sun-laden St Maxime and St Tropez in the west, with its subtropical capes and pretty port, full of colourful boats swaying to the rhythm of the waves.

Blessed with an almost tropical climate, the Côte d’Azur is an area synonymous with high flyers, high fashion, glamorous marinas and exotic boutiques all of which can be enjoyed under pure indigo skies.

The cosmopolitan metropolis of Cannes attracts many visitors with its glitz and glamour. There are many reasons to visit Cannes: its beautiful turquoise shoreline harmoniously cascades into wooden mountainsides and its dazzling gardens intersperse the city; its chic and stylish shops, the warmth of its welcome and its Provençal roots make Cannes a favoured villa vacation destination and central point of the French Riviera. Continuing east the sandy and picturesque beaches of Juan-les-Pins and Antibes await, before you reach the diverse and culturally rich city of Nice. The Côte d’Azur has a long relationship with artists such as Renoir, Picasso and Matisse; the museums of Nice offer a formidable collection of such works, along with more contemporary pieces.

East of Nice lies the ‘Golden Triangle’ between Nice and Monaco, towns and villages such as Eze Bord-de-Mer, Villefranche and St Jean Cap Ferrat are areas of extreme beauty, where mountains strut into the sea and the landscape is at its most breathtaking. Along this coastline lie revered restaurants, idyllic, sheltered coves and picturesque ports making it the ideal destination from which to enjoy the perfect villa vacation.

At the furthest eastern point of the Riviera, the Principality of Monaco and Monte Carlo awaits the jet-set! The harbour is aligned with super yachts and this region has an almost magnetic attraction for the rich, famous and fashionable that gravitate here to enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle and exotic climes. The Palais du Prince is a must see, located high above the Port, it allows for truly awe-inspiring panoramic views. There is no better place for an aperitif whilst in Monaco than at the Café de Paris in Casino square. This café is situated by the esteemed casino, and has a view over perfectly manicured gardens and the central square; the perfect place to people watch.
