About this hotel
General information
Le Mas Candille occupies an 18th-century Provençal farmhouse near the village of Mougins. Once known for its olives and vineyards, the estate took its name during the Revolution from a giant cypress visible as far as Cannes — candille, or candillou, is Provençal for “candle”. Republicans met here, Napoleon later stayed with his guard, and from the early 20th century the house became a hotel and a quiet retreat for Parisian businessmen, actors and writers; Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and the Belgian royal family were among its guests.
The buildings stand on a promontory among the cypresses and olive groves of a 4-hectare park, with views across Cannes, the Mougins valley and the foothills of the Alps. Provençal architecture meets modern comfort, antiques and attentive service. There is a Shiseido spa, two restaurants and a bar; three meeting rooms and the park host events, and the hotel can arrange interpreters, photographers, limousines and private jet or helicopter hire.
