Discover Villa Emma

Interior

Set high in the verdant hills of La Croix des Gardes, Villa Emma is a recently renovated stone residence offering elegant, elevated living just moments from the centre of Cannes. Designed with a soft, contemporary Provencal aesthetic, this 400 sqm home balances privacy, style, and panoramic Mediterranean views.

Across three levels, Villa Emma comfortably welcomes up to eight guests in four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, including an independent guest suite ideal for visiting friends or private staff. The upper floor hosts a generous living area with a piano, a refined dining space, and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, all flowing out to a sea-facing terrace perfect for aperitifs at sunset.

On the garden level, three en-suite bedrooms include a spacious master suite with dressing area and garden access, while the independent fourth bedroom sits slightly apart for added seclusion. Downstairs, the entertainment continues with a games room, massage room, and full outdoor summer kitchen, ideal for lazy lunches and alfresco evenings as the sun sets.

Exterior

Villa Emma’s outdoor spaces are made for Mediterranean living. The swimming pool takes centre stage, flanked by shaded loungers and a pergola with a BBQ and plancha setup for relaxed entertaining. There’s also a tennis and basketball court tucked into the estate, a rare but welcomed amenity in this part of Cannes, as well as tranquil garden corners perfect for unwinding with a book or cocktail as the warm Mediterranean sun slowly sets.

With ample private parking, air conditioning throughout, and fast Wi-Fi, Villa Emma offers an ideal blend of charm and convenience, all just a short drive from the beaches, boutiques, and cultural life of Cannes.
