Villa Clemence

Villa Clemence is a rare Florentine-inspired château built in 1919 that has become an iconic piece of French Riviera history. The property was famously featured in Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 classic 'To Catch a Thief' and has hosted distinguished guests including Cary Grant, Brigitte Bardot, and Princess Grace Kelly. Meticulously renovated between 2019 and 2022, the villa seamlessly blends its rich heritage with contemporary comforts and state-of-the-art amenities.
