This luxury 5* hotel perches above the Corniche d’Or, in Théoule-sur-Mer – a majestic, grand hotel, with terraces and balconies tumbling down to the azure sea. The hotel has its own private beach, for ultimate seclusion and peacefulness on your holiday. It’s easier to reach, too – the hotel is only a a short ride from the  local Mandelieu airport and a slightly longer journey from Nice airport.
