The French Riviera: A truly unique destination.
La Schiffanoïa is located in the heart of the legendary French Riviera, in the most southeastern part of France, between the city of Cannes and the Principality of Monaco. It stands on a remarkable natural site, in the territory of the small town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, overlooking one of the world’s most beautiful bays, contiguous with Baie des Anges on which stands the city of Nice, capital of the French Riviera.
The French Riviera benefits from an exceptional microclimate - approximately 300 days of sunshine a year - which has contributed to its world-wide renown for nearly two centuries.
Overlooking the sea and protected from the wind by the surrounding hills and mountains, it enjoys a climate that is never too hot in summer and always mild in winter.
The mean annual temperature ranges from 23.6°C/74.5°F in August to 9.1°C/48.4°F in January, while in the sea it ranges from 25.2°C/77.4°F in August to 13.1°C/55.6°F in February.
The region is served by the Nice-Côte d’Azur International Airport, 2nd busiest in France after Paris and major gateway to Southern Europe. Connected to 71 destinations in 26 countries, including the main cities in Europe and North America, it is connected, among others, to Paris by a genuine airlift with up to 43 flights daily.
The airport, located just 14 kilometers by road from La Schiffanoia, also provides daily helicopter flights to heliports in Cannes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
The Riviera offers top-quality medical and hospital facilities, making it one of the best equipped European centers.
