Designed in a Florentine style, the estate features 16 en-suite bedrooms within the main château, which rises over five floors, as well as an independent penthouse and two additional cottages. The interiors are finished with the finest materials and include a grand ballroom, reception rooms, offices, and dining areas capable of hosting up to 200 seated guests. In the basement, a full range of leisure facilities awaits, including a private cinema, bowling alleys, a speakeasy bar, arcade games, and more.
The gardens extend over 11 hectares. The Italian Garden, laid out with perfect symmetry, evokes serenity and romance, while the 36-meter-long infinity pool on the southern forecourt seems to merge seamlessly with the Mediterranean, creating an endless blue horizon.
The château famously inspired Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed several scenes of his 1954 cinematic masterpiece To Catch a Thief here, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.
The Château de la Croix des Gardes: the intimacy of a monumental residence
Organized around a majestic central staircase, the upper floors house eight bedrooms, including a sumptuous principal suite. Adorned with columns and trompe-l’œil frescoes, the château reveals spectacular reception rooms while preserving its historic features—chandeliers, precious woods, marble finishes, and grand volumes that reflect its illustrious past.
An exceptional venue for exclusive events
The legendary Château de la Croix des Gardes hosts some of the most prestigious events on the Riviera and has been chosen by elite clients such as Versace, Kering, Apple TV, and others. Committed to exclusivity, the château carefully curates a limited number of events each year, selecting its partners with the utmost care. This approach ensures that every occasion held here remains a benchmark of luxury on the French Riviera.
The château’s park can accommodate up to 2,000 guests for outdoor events, while the interior spaces can host 200 guests and offer overnight accommodation for up to 32 people in the Croix des Gardes neighborhood.
