Introduction

Set in one of the most exclusive coastal towns on the Cote d'Azur, these prestigious homes overlook one of the five most beautiful bays in the world and one of the deepest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. Part of the legendary golden triangle, the town retains an authentic charm that sets it apart from more commercialised Riviera destinations. The Old Town harbour, with pastel-coloured buildings and waterfront restaurants, is one of the most photographed settings on the coast, alongside a unique medieval covered street and a chapel decorated with frescoes by a celebrated artist. The town sits five minutes from Nice and ten from Monaco, with frequent coastal trains connecting the entire Riviera. Request Access to view full property details, pricing and availability.
