Hidden behind private gates on one of the French Riviera's most prestigious peninsulas, Château Algarve is a rare historic residence overlooking the Bay of Cannes and the Îles de Lérins.

Once home to Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievich Romanov, cousin of Tsar Nicholas II, the château retains the privacy, grandeur and timeless charm of a true nineteenth-century estate.
