Sea-view villas on the Cap and apartments by the ramparts, between Cannes and Nice

A walled port town with the Cap at its feet
Antibes has better manners than most of its neighbours on the Riviera. The Greeks founded it as Antipolis, and Vauban built the ramparts that still hold back the sea. Today the old town is a place of narrow lanes, a covered market and a castle where Picasso once kept a studio. South of town the wooded Cap d'Antibes runs out into the Mediterranean, with Juan-les-Pins and its sandy beaches on the far side.
Our Antibes collection runs to 42 properties. There are large villas with pools and sea views on the Cap around La Garoupe, family houses in the hills, and apartments near La Salis beach, in Juan-les-Pins and inside the old town walls.
Here is how the town divides up, when to come and what to do once you are here.

Cap d'Antibes and La Garoupe for privacy and sea views, La Salis and the old town for walking to the market and the ramparts, and Juan-les-Pins for sandy beaches and summer evenings.
Ramparts, Picasso and a morning market
Old Antibes sits behind its sea walls. Château Grimaldi, at the top of the town, is now the Musée Picasso. The artist worked there in the autumn of 1946, and many of the pieces he made that year are still on its walls. Below it, the covered Marché Provençal on the Cours Masséna sells olives, cheeses, flowers and socca every morning.
Port Vauban, one of the largest yachting harbours in the Mediterranean, curves round towards the star-shaped Fort Carré. The quay where the biggest superyachts moor is worth a stroll, if only for the scale of it. Apartments near La Salis beach let you walk into town for dinner and swim before breakfast.

Pine woods, rocky coves and a lighthouse
The Cap is the most private corner of the town. Its villas sit behind high hedges and umbrella pines, and the sea is never far away. Plage de la Garoupe is a sheltered cove with clear water. The coastal path around the tip of the Cap, known locally as the Sentier de Tirepoil, follows the rocks for a couple of hours of easy, glorious walking.
At the top of the hill stand the Garoupe lighthouse and a small chapel hung with sailors' ex-votos, with views across to the Alps on a clear day. Most of our larger villas are here, many with pools and sea views.

Sand, jazz and the ghost of the Jazz Age
On the western side of the Cap, Juan-les-Pins has the long sandy beaches that rocky Antibes lacks. It is livelier after dark too. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald spent time here in the 1920s, and the town has not entirely forgotten it.
Every July, Jazz à Juan fills the pine grove of La Pinède Gould with concerts by the sea. It is one of the oldest jazz festivals in Europe, running since 1960. Cannes is a short drive along the coast, which makes this a handy base for anyone who wants both.

Socca, rosé and a long shoulder season
The local food belongs to Nice as much as to Provence. Try socca, a thin chickpea pancake eaten hot from the oven, pissaladière with onions and anchovies, and fish grilled simply on the port. A bottle of Provence rosé is close to compulsory.
May, June and September are the best months, warm enough for swimming and without the August crowds. July brings the jazz, and winters are mild enough for long lunches outdoors. Our concierge can arrange restaurant tables, boat days along the coast, a private chef and transfers from Nice.

The right house, not the nearest one
Antibes runs from the old town ramparts to the hidden lanes of the Cap, and we know which villas let you walk to a beach and which are tucked away for real privacy. With 42 properties in Antibes, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant tables in the old town and on the Cap, boat charters from Port Vauban, a private chef, Jazz à Juan tickets, car hire and transfers from Nice airport. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
