History and setting
Antoine Mari, an olive oil merchant from Nice, built the château in 1906 on his family's land. In the 1920s Irène Bretz, a shareholder in an American railroad company, bought it and from 1923 had it remodeled by the Charles Dalmas architecture firm, known for the Carlton in Cannes. In the 1940s Pierre Tomé obtained the Bellet AOC in 1941. Cornelius Kamerbeek later modernized the cellar and obtained organic certification in 2014. Since 2017 a French industrial family has renovated the rooms in a 1920s style, using furniture bought at auction from the Ritz in Paris. The building has a neo-Tuscan look and an art gallery.
Getting there
The château is on the Bellet hills west of central Nice, and Nice Côte d'Azur airport is the closest airport. The estate offers parking for guests. Opening hours for visits are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
