Escape from Elba

Tucked away in an exclusive gated community on the Côte d'Azur, this spacious ground-floor apartment has everything you need for a glorious getaway to the famously glamourous Frech Riviera.

Though the location might be the standout attraction, the home has plenty of allure of its own. From its chic cream and white decor and spacious open-plan design to its enticing outdoor terrace with views overlooking the communal pool and the Mediterranean Sea beyond. We can imagine sitting out here and tucking into our morning coffee and croissants in the cool morning air. Sheer bliss.

When you're not living your best life out on the terrace, your location in Golfe Juan – sandwiched between Cannes and Antibes – places you within easy reach of the Riviera's headline locations. Fifteen minutes west you'll find the A-list glamour of Cannes, while a drive in the opposite direction will land you in Antibes, whose beauty has been inspiring artists since back in Monet's day.
