There is only one word to describe Chateau d'Azur – magnifique. Just five minutes away from the beach, this authentic French chateau is ideal for large family celebrations. Offering 15 opulent bedrooms with plenty of space for up to 30 guests, it's surrounded by manicured gardens and rolling countryside. This splendid French castle is a breathtaking retreat where modern facilities, classic refinement, and traditional French joie-de-vivre blend effortlessly.

The majestic Esterel Mountains sit in a prime location between Cannes and St Tropez and are close to the ultra-chic Santa Lucia marina in Saint-Raphaël. This makes staying at villas and chateaux in this region perfect for those who want to make the most of the sophisticated nightlife of these famous resorts, as well as those who have a passion for sailing. With golf and tennis clubs, numerous wineries, and a myriad of sleepy French mountain villages to discover, this fascinating part of the Riviera offers a wealth of cultural and culinary experiences.

Château d'Azur is sumptuously decorated in a typically French style. Heavy silk curtains and chandeliers adorn every room, and the furniture is vintage polished wood and comfortable leather couches. The multiple living spaces include five large reception rooms complete with striking oak flooring and magnificent stone fireplaces. The castle has two kitchens, one of which is professional standard for weddings, celebrations or events, while the second is a cosy family kitchen that leads out onto the splendid terrace. The 15 bedrooms are spread over three levels. The garden floor has two serene king-size bedrooms with ensuites decorated in charming Provençal style. The ground floor has ten bedrooms that include four king-size beds, four queen-size beds and two elegant rooms with twin beds. These enigmatic rooms have sunny views towards the sea, with contemporary-meets-vintage ensuites and silk details, south-facing balconies and private sitting areas. The final three bedrooms are on the first floor offering double beds (one room with two double beds) and unique features such as exposed beams.

The facilities at the castle keep coming, with a fully fitted private gym, a home cinema, a games room and a large swimming pool outside. A pergola provides a shaded spot for relaxing in the afternoon or al fresco dining on summer evenings with unrivalled sunsets. With space enough for up to 90 people for events in the two-hectare site, Chateau d'Azur is a genuinely awe-inspiring castle that also includes live-in staff to take care of your every need.
