French riviera hotel : Hotel Mas Candille (le) in Mougins

Hôtel Le Mas Candille - Mougins

Le Mas Candille is an exceptionally individual hotel in Mougins, near Cannes on the Cote D'Azur, offering a sense of informal luxury, exclusive tranquility and classic elegance.
Imaginatively transformed from its origins as an 18th century 'Mas' or farmhouse, the hotel nestles quietly on the hillside of Mougins above Cannes on the famous French Riviera. This luxurious hotel and spa is set within 40,000 square meters of terraced Provencal parkland, surrounded by mature cypress trees and old olive groves, with mesmerizing views across the valley to the pre-alps.

Gardens and Parklands

Le Mas Candille is set within 40,000 square metres of parkland, with beautiful views over the valley towards Grasse and the Pre-Alpes. The estate lends itself beautifully to the needs of a luxury hotel and its guests. There are a myriad of secluded hideaways in which to contemplate, converse or while away the day. The natural environment has been protected throughout the park and guests can enjoy the wild flowers, fruit and fauna that abound.

Attention and discretion

The singularity of this delightful hotel is based on a wonderfully eclectic mix of old style architecture and the most modern of amenities and facilities ; its secluded but easily accessible location, just a few minutes from Cannes on the Cote D'Azur and a hotel service which matches attention with discretion.

Mougins

From its hilltop position, 260m above sea level, set amongst pine, oak and olive trees, this enchanting medieval village holds a panoramic view of the Bay of Cannes, the Isle of Lerins, Mandelieu, Grasse and the Pre-Alpes.
