The 51 acre country estate is set in the Gard department, a region in southern France known for its rich Roman ruins, historic villages, and Provencal charm.

The multi-level residence has been renovated into the ultimate luxury retreat on the Cote d’Azur with 18 bedroom suites across nearly 25,000 sq ft of living space.

The chateau dates back to the 17th century and was restored in the 1960s by French Riviera architect, André Svetchine, known for designing homes for the likes of designer Christian Dior and artist Marc Chagall, as well as several luxury villas on Cap Ferrat.

With a commanding position high above the western shore of Lake Como, the villa offers panoramic views of the lake overlooking Bellagio, and is only steps from the centre of Menaggio.
