LUXURY VACATION RENTALS IN Mandelieu, France

Mandelieu-La Napoule is located on the sparkling Cote d’Azur, just southwest of its glitzier big sister, Cannes. The marvelous location invites nature to play a large role in your relaxing vacation in the form of gorgeous Mediterranean vistas and the dramatic slope of the green hills into the turquoise sea. An outdoor lover’s paradise, Mandelieu features exhilarating entertainment opportunities like windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving, hiking, and golf. Those that enjoy wandering through charming streets and picking up local goods and fresh produce from shops and open air markets will find Mandelieu a prime spot for doing so. The village’s deep and venerable roots are evident in the impressive architecture found in the Chateau de la Napoule with its 14th century “bones” left intact by a billionaire artist who renovated and rebuilt the crumbling seaside fortress with a sensational blend of design styles. Artists still flock to the castle and its nationally praised gardens to reside year-round in search of their own Mediterranean muses. The thriving art culture of Mandelieu is largely in part to the simply exquisite landscape. Who wouldn’t be inspired by this natural beauty?

Mandelieu has the best of both worlds. In a glance, there are flashy golf courses, a port with an extensive yacht collection, lavish spas and heavenly dining establishments. But at a closer look its rich history, friendly population, and gorgeous surroundings create a destination perfect for those who crave the more extravagant vacation frills, as well as those who love to imbue themselves in the local culture. A perfect blend of French Riviera glamor and rustic Provencal charm makes this an enticing destination for your next Time & Place vacation!
