Our story

A villa shaped by sea, stone and time.

Set above a quiet cove on the Côte d'Azur, Maison Solène was rebuilt from a 1930s fisherman's residence into a private retreat for those who value stillness. Every room opens to the sea; every corner invites a slower pace.

We keep the villa intentionally small — six suites, one staff of five — so that privacy, comfort and detail come first. Guests arrive as strangers and leave with the sense of having stayed with old friends.

Portrait of the villa owner Julien

"We built Maison Solène for the way we like to travel — slowly, quietly, without hurry."
