The charming Villa Les Bolovens, featured in the 1955 Hitchcock classic starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, has sold for its full asking price.
A piece of cinematic history has found new owners after Villa Les Bolovens sold rapidly for its full asking price of €3.6 million. The property gained fame as a filming location for Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 thriller featuring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, which used the French Riviera as its stunning backdrop.
The charming country residence, which offers views towards the Baou de Saint Jeannet, represents more than just luxury real estate. Its connection to the Oscar-winning production, which also featured Monaco, Cannes and Nice as key locations, adds considerable cultural cache to an already desirable property.
Côte d'Azur Sotheby's International Realty handled the sale of this notable villa, demonstrating the continued appeal of properties with Hollywood heritage. The swift transaction at asking price reflects both the strength of the luxury property market and the enduring fascination with Golden Age cinema locations along the Riviera.
