In a prime location on the rocky southern tip of Cap d’Antibes between Nice and Cannes, Hotel du Cap-Eden- Roc is legendary: Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald spent many a long stint here (Fitzgerald immortalized the hotel in Tender Is the Night), and the Kennedys and the Windsors stayed here too. One of its most famous draws is the seawater swimming pool that is carved directly into the rock and overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and the hotel has its own chocolate factory that releases bespoke flavors every year. For total privacy, Villa Eleana is set away from the main buildings and backed by fragrant citrus trees. The three-bedroom villa has an expansive living space, study, impressive kitchen, private swimming pool and the services of a butler and a chef.
