About this property
Situated on a gentle hillside above the coast, Château Marianne greets you with a sense of calm and elegance. Mediterranean light bathes the pink stone and casts soft reflections across the swimming pool. A one-hectare park of mature pines and scented shrubs frames the horizon, where sea and sky meet.
Inside, the atmosphere is refined but relaxed. Completely restored under the direction of a highly respected French architect, this beautiful residence harmonises historic grandeur with modern comforts. Seven gorgeous bedrooms, each with its own bath or shower, promise restful nights. Light pours through generously sized windows, and tasteful décor creates restful spaces that still feel alive with character. Elegant dining spaces, soft sofas, a cinema lounge and a large professional kitchen (ideal for catered meals) hint at the convivial evenings to come.
Outside, life flows between terraces, shaded paths, steps and gardens. A long, natural swimming pool mirrors the sky and invites lingering swims. Characterful terraces offer places for reading, while a pool house, barbecue and outdoor lounge alongside a fitness and yoga area suggest a balance between ease and well being. The pétanque court evokes local charm and invites gentle competition under the late afternoon sun.
This grand château occupies a privileged position just 1km above Plage de Cavalière, so loved for its sandy shores and seasonal watersports. A short drive away is the heart of Le Lavandou, once a traditional fishing village and now one of the Côte d’Azur’s most loved seaside destinations, celebrated for its laid back charm and pretty beaches that curve gently along the Mediterranean shore.
Just over 30km by car, the iconic town of Saint-Tropez also beckons with its blend of Riviera glamour, designer shopping and vibrant harbourfront, making it an effortless excursion. Alternatively, take a boat ride across to Les Îles d’Or, a group of French islands offering crystal-clear waters, hidden coves and protected landscapes.
Whether you are gathering family or friends, Château Marianne offers a rare blend of gracious living and natural beauty on the French Riviera.
With views of the Mediterranean, Château Marianne enjoys an enviable setting in the verdant hills above beautiful Plage de Cavalière. This idyllic corner of the Côte d’Azur offers a rare balance of natural beauty and access to the region’s best-loved highlights.
A short drive brings you to the heart of Le Lavandou (7km), a vibrant seaside town bursting with character. Meander through its colourful Provençal market every Thursday morning to sample local delicacies and regional produce, or take in the coastal charm of the marina.
Of course, the area’s real allure lies in its beaches, whether it’s the family-friendly L’Anglade, the picturesque waters of Plage d’Aiguebelle or the tucked-away coves of La Fossette and Pramousquier. Even closer, pine-backed Plage de Cavalière (around 1km down the hill) awaits for sandy shores and a variety of seasonal watersports.
From the port of Le Lavandou, a short boat ride opens up the shimmering Îles d’Or. Porquerolles beckons with bike trails that weave through eucalyptus groves and past idyllic coves like Plage d’Argent and Calanque de l’Indienne. Over on Port-Cros, hiking trails reveal the wild beauty of its national park, while the island of Le Levant offers a more offbeat escape, with its traditional hamlet and unspoilt coastline.
For a touch of Riviera glamour, Saint-Tropez (31km) is within easy reach. Wander through cobbled lanes lined with luxury boutiques, pause at Place des Lices for a game of pétanque and indulge in the town’s high-end dining scene. The port hums with life, from fishing boats to sleek superyachts, and nearby Pampelonne Beach (33km) offers a legendary stretch of sand, watersports and exclusive beach clubs.
