A gorgeous, traditional chateau, set in acres of gardens, Villa Lys is bursting with effortless style, and the finest amenities, and is perfect for a large group getaway or special occasion.

Situated in the heart of Cannes, and yet boasting almost four hectares of wonderful gardens, Villa Lys combines seclusion with connection to all that is best about this part of the world. The boutique shops, fine dining and vibrant bars of Cannes are all around and the beaches of Plage Macé and Croisette are within a ten-minute walk. The airport is just 15 minutes away.

The elegant ivory walls of the home sweep their way around a traditional French courtyard and every inch is a poem to grace and refinement. The main living area boasts a magnificent fireplace, beautiful wooden beamed ceilings and a lovely palette of whites and blues against shining dark wood. Delectably soft sofas make it a perfect place to relax and connect and beautiful French windows let in the sunshine and sea breezes. A further two sitting rooms are havens of peace and comfort: one boasts a TV and ample seating whilst the other offers a more formal space of dusky blue hues. The sleek, open plan kitchen is a delight to cook in and the grand dining room is simply exquisite, with traditional floral wallpaper and crystal chandeliers creating an atmosphere of pure splendour.

Further delights come in the form of the spectacular home cinema, complete with large, squashy armchairs and vintage movie prints. Next door is a glorious games room with a billiard table. For the wine lovers in the group, there's a walk-in cooler and display room and there's a home gym for those who like to keep active.

The six double, ensuite bedrooms all offer sumptuous beds and TVs in peaceful, light-filled rooms. A further twin ensuite is perfect for children. Each bathroom is lavishly appointed with deep soaking tubs and beautiful tiling throughout.

Outside are numerous terraces, balconies and the courtyard - perfect for chasing the sun or seeking the shade, dining together or finding a quiet nook. In particular, the outdoor kitchen and dining area offer a lovely setting for a shared, candlelit meal. The bounteous gardens offer seemingly endless walks amongst vibrant flowers and shining lawns or you can meander over to the private tennis court and get a game going. The incredible, sparkling pool lies at the end of your own miniature, tree-lined avenue, surrounded by a grand deck and with a charming pavilion at its foot. With views of the sea and surrounding countryside to complete the magic, Villa Lys really is the epitome of French splendour and enchantment.
