Onefinestay expands South of France portfolio

Luxury home rental platform Onefinestay has added a new collection of properties in Cannes and its surrounding areas.

The brand now has 100 private villa rentals in the region, ranging from old-style estates to contemporary retreats.

Properties include Villa Lansa in Super Cannes (pictured), one of the largest private estates in the French Riviera; the 12-bedroom Villa Cana in Cassis, whose past guests include Virginia Woolf and Winston Churchill; and a former post office turned six-bedroom home, Villa Post.

Each stay includes round-the-clock support and a dedicated concierge, who can arrange private charters along the Riviera, exclusive beach club access and in-villa spa treatments.

Onefinestay has also added a selection of all-inclusive, fully staffed villas to its existing portfolio in Saint-Tropez.

The properties, which are exclusively available through Onefinestay, include private chefs, on-site villa hosts, daily housekeeping, drinks, snacks and champagne and canapés on arrival.

The brand said it plans to expand further along the Côte D’Azur to Provence later this summer as part of its global villa expansion.

“Brimming with beautiful beaches, world-class shopping and historic sites, not to mention its most famous film festival which is being held this July, Cannes is a long-time favourite destination amongst sun-seeking families, celebrities, jetsetting friends and gastronomes who are looking for complete privacy, European charms and premium comforts,” said Amanda Dyjecinski, Onefinestay’s chief brand and marketing officer.

“Last year’s launch in Saint-Tropez encouraged us to expand further in the region and we are hopeful that as travel restrictions begin to ease, our guests will have a chance to see what our latest destinations and services have to offer.”

Bookings are now open for 2021 stays in the South of France. Weekly rates start from £9,000.
