Villa Iris

Discover Villa Iris

Interior

A classic of belle époque architecture, Villa Iris offers a world of refined living in the peaceful St. Nicolas residential enclave, just moments from the heart of Cannes.

The main residence hosts up to 16 guests across eight elegant double bedrooms, each thoughtfully restored to preserve period charm while embracing modern comforts. An independent two bedroom cottage adds flexibility for private staff or extended family.

Inside, expansive living spaces create a natural flow between grand entertaining areas and quiet corners to unwind. The magnificent triple reception room extends over 60 square metres, opening onto a broad terrace overlooking the gardens and pool. Whether gathering for a formal reception or a relaxed evening, the setting is effortlessly elegant.

Beyond the reception rooms, guests will find a dedicated cinema room for private screenings, a fully equipped gym, and a sophisticated snooker room. Throughout the estate, high-speed Wi-Fi and integrated technology offer seamless modern convenience without compromising the villa’s timeless character.

Villa Iris is equally suited to leisure stays and corporate retreats, offering versatile spaces for conferences, exhibitions, or private events, with the Palais des Festivals just a 10 minute stroll away.

Exterior

Set within mature, landscaped gardens, Villa Iris offers a rare combination: complete privacy within easy reach of Cannes’ glittering coastline.

The heated saltwater swimming pool (12m x 5.5m) forms the centrepiece of the outdoor space, framed by broad sun terraces ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining, or quiet afternoons under the Provençal sun. Outdoor kitchen facilities and a barbecue area create a relaxed setting for gatherings, while shaded corners and manicured lawns provide quiet spots for retreat.

The surrounding gardens weave a sense of tranquillity that feels a world away from the bustle of the city, yet Cannes’ famed beaches, restaurants, and boutiques are just a short walk from your door.

For guests attending international gatherings such as Lions, MIPIM, MIPTV, MIPCOM, the Cannes Film Festival, or seeking a sophisticated summer escape, Villa Iris is a rare and compelling address among luxury villa rentals in Cannes.
