Villa Fiorentina dates back to the 19th century and was one of the first luxury villas that paved the way for aristocrats to build their holiday homes in Cannes.

The stunning Italian-baroque style residence was built by Lord Julian Goldsmith and houses a chapel which was built later by Count Vitali, in 1894, with a Baroque bell tower and clock.

Once home to the Princess of Serbia, the Cannes native Emmanuel Bellini purchased the chapel in 1953 and converted it into his art studio. It now houses exhibition of the works of art of the famous Cannes painter, colourful paintings with Fauvist and Expressionist touches.

When to come
