Historic château stay near Nice on the French Riviera

Château Le Cagnard, Cagnes-sur-Mer

Property details

  • A gem on the French Riviera: A Small Luxury Hotel of the World, Château Le Cagnard sits in an utterly charming location and offers up both luxury and history in spades. Built in the 13th century along the city walls of exquisite Haut-de-Cagnes, it's a beautiful structure comprising medieval stone arches, grand old fireplaces and tumbledown turrets, all dripping with deep-green vines.

  • Delectable dinner with a view: The pièce de résistance is the magical restaurant, listed in the esteemed Michelin Guide. This bistro serves Provençal cuisine with a focus on regional and seasonal ingredients, perfectly paired with fine wines and savoured in an elegant dining room, with an open-air terrace looking out towards the stunning Bay of Antibes.

  • Sumptuous accommodation: Each guest room and suite at this property features beautiful period furnishings, big cosy beds, and wonderfully unique views. Opt for a Superior or Deluxe room, or go all-out with a Junior suite for more characterful interiors and the added luxury of an adjoining lounge area.

How to get there

Château Le Cagnard is located in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a town on the French Riviera between Nice and Antibes. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is a 10-kilometre drive away, and is accessible by taxi in 15 minutes, or via public transport in around 40 minutes (there is a direct bus service between the airport and Square Maurice Bourdet in the town centre).

Please note that the hotel is not accessible by car. Guests who intend to travel by car must contact the hotel directly to obtain information on nearby parking locations. Then, once guests have parked, they must contact the hotel to arrange a pickup by hotel staff. If you plan on hiring a car, the village has two free public car parks, plus parking spaces along the many alleyways, however finding a space in high season can be difficult. You can also park at Le Planastel, an underground car park by the entrance to the village. The hotel provides a valet service at arrival from the taxi meeting point.

Good to know

Please note, the hotel restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday (May - September) and Wednesday to Sunday (March - May and in October) for dinner only; advance booking is highly recommended in order to avoid disappointment.
