Cannes · La Californie
Asset management and estate care for exceptional villas on the most prestigious heights of Cannes. Transparent commission, no fixed fee.
To entrust a villa in La Californie is to entrust far more than a rental property: an exceptional estate, often an address one wishes to keep away from outside eyes. Le 17ème Parallèle looks after and manages it as a first-rank asset, with an intimate knowledge of this singular Cannes district.
La Californie ranks among the most prestigious residential districts of Cannes. Perched on the heights east of the city, it brings together Belle Époque villas inherited from the golden age of Riviera living and contemporary homes designed by leading architects. Here, everything speaks of space and serenity: lush gardens, shaded lanes, panoramic views embracing the bay of Cannes and the Lérins islands. The nearness of the Croisette takes nothing away from this sense of seclusion, quite the opposite: you are minutes from the social scene, yet living in a haven of calm and the greatest discretion.
The district is built around vast properties that occupy generous plots on the hillside. Here you find both historic Belle Époque villas, with ornate façades and century-old gardens, and pared-back contemporary works conceived to capture the light and the view. What all these homes share is their exposure: oriented south and toward the sea, they offer rare panoramas over the bay and the Lérins archipelago, a privilege that gives the area its deep and lasting value.
A property of this kind calls for management that matches it. A large residence deteriorates faster than it appears to when left unoccupied: upkeep of the grounds and gardens, watch over periods of absence, maintenance of the pool and technical equipment, meticulous preparation before every arrival. On the heights, exposure to the wind, sea salt and sun accentuates the wear still further. This is precisely where the preservation of value is decided, season after season, and it is at the heart of our craft.
Our support
Continuous upkeep, gardens, pool, house teams, security and watch over periods of absence, with particular care for the exposed outdoor spaces of the heights.
Discreet marketing, rigorous guest selection, contracts and inventories, in absolute respect of the neighbourhood and the quiet of the district.
Personalised welcome, private chef, transfers and bespoke services for your guests or for yourself, minutes from the Croisette.
The difference comes down to a single sentence: where generalist concierge firms handle everything from student studios to villas, chasing volume, we manage only a restricted circle of exceptional residences. In La Californie, that means a single point of contact who knows your home in its finest details, hand-picked providers, and a discretion that is priceless for owners attached to the protection of their private life. Our private concierge does not seek to multiply properties: it seeks to serve each one as though it were unique.
Our model. A transparent management commission, charged only on the revenue generated, with no fixed fee whatsoever. Payments are processed by a licensed provider, revenue is paid directly to you, and a confidentiality agreement frames every collaboration from the very first exchange.
