Initially owned by the Guinness family and later used as a holiday residence by Winston Churchill, this Provençal mas eventually captivated Pablo Picasso with its charm. In 1961, the artist settled there after leaving his villa in Cannes’ Californie district, whose sea view had been spoiled by a new construction. After Picasso’s death in 1973, the house was occupied by his wife, then by his daughter, who ultimately sold it for more than €10 million.
In 2007, the property was acquired by a Dutch owner, who renamed it The Minotaur’s Lair in tribute to Picasso’s recurring obsession. He undertook extensive renovation works estimated at around €10 million, profoundly transforming the Provençal estate with the addition of a tennis court, an elevator, a spa, and other luxury amenities. Financial difficulties, however, prevented the completion of the project and ultimately forced him to put the mas up for auction.
