Belonging to the Bruni-Tedeschi family since 1970, the solid building surmounted by two towers is built on a rocky outcrop in the heart of pine forest, with a panoramic view over the Mediterranean. Formerly known as Château Faraghi (before the Second World War) it is difficult to access by sea, offers a swimming pool and about ten rooms. The estate protected by a heavy electric gate, is accessible from Avenue du Cap Nègre, 7 km from the town centre in Le Lavandou. It was from this small cove that on 15 August , 1944, the African Commandos scaled this cliff to liberate Provence.
