La Demeure de L’anse is a Riviera gem on Cap Canaille, once a hotel that hosted Virginia Woolf and Winston Churchill in the 1930s and 1940s
A spectacular estate, with access to L'Arene beach & heated pool with sea views.
Perfectly positioned on the magnificent Cap Canaille, within the Calanques National Park, La Demeure de L’anse stands as one of the French Riviera’s most expansive and prestigious private domains, spanning an impressive sixty hectares. This luxury estate, located on the outskirts of Cassis, is not just a haven for weekly rentals; it’s a venue that hosts seminars, wellness stays, and detox weekends, offering an unparalleled retreat.
Originally an esteemed hotel that hosted luminaries like Virginia Woolf in the glamorous 1920s, this prestigious property recently underwent a complete renovation under new ownership. Boasting a generous 600m2, the Demeure features four reception rooms that offer breathtaking views of the sea and twelve main bedrooms, comfortably accommodating up to twenty-four guests. The expansive 500m2 terrace overlooks the idyllic l’Arene beach, with its inviting turquoise waters, accessible on foot through a private lane.
The estate is adorned with a large heated swimming pool, perfect for indulgent relaxation, and an attractive formal garden that adds a touch of sophistication. With a convenient location, it takes less than 15 minutes to stroll from the property to the charming village and picturesque port of Cassis. La Demeure de L’anse is not just a place to stay; it’s an invitation to immerse oneself in the refined elegance of the French Riviera, a true oasis of tranquility.
