Villa, much?

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc doesn’t do basic. Hell no. The two hyphens are testament to that. Perhaps, borderline definitely, the most famous and infamous and renowned and celebrated and fabled and illustrious and eminent and legendary and proverbial hotel on France’s glittering Riviera, someone might have to come up with a word to describe how fancy it is.

The favourite hotel of the Cannes Crowd – and they’re picky, we can tell you – with a swinging door of famouses to show off about (Picasso, F. Scott, a honeymooning Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, George off-of Clooney, that naughty Duke of Windsor…) since the early 1920s, the swish on this patch of the Côte d’Azur is off the scale. Even those scales.

Where was this going… oh yes, and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc (try saying that after a Jeroboam of rosé) will, in May 2021, unveil their ultra-crazy-exclusive Villa Sainte-Anne. The hotel bought the classic mansion in 2019 and have spent two years jazzing up the place – including interiors by Countess Bergit Douglas, whose family owns the hotel, so she has a vested interest to make it pop.

You’ll get 3,700sqft of fancy, including five en-suite bedrooms, a spa with sauna, Hammam and gym, whopping dining and entertaining areas then, outside, gardens that cascade towards your private pool and the Med beyond that. Plus a 24/7 butler and access to all of Hotel du Cap’s facilities-and-then-some. We love then-some.

For now, the only image of Villa Sainte-Anne the hotel has released is this impressionist doodle. Which sure is pretty, right?
