Historical French Chateau La Cima That Entertained Ernest Hemingway & F. Scott Fitzgerald Hits Market

Chateau La Cima in Nice looks like it could be the summer home of Beauty and the Beast when they get tired of their castle — it's literally that beautiful. Côte d'Azur Sotheby's International Realty announced earlier this month that the villa is now on the market for an undisclosed amount of money, but you can bet this former home of David K.E. Bruce (the U.S. Ambassador to France, West Germany, and the UK) will have a steep asking price. Built in the 1920s and set among landscaped grounds, the luxury villa overlooks Villefranche bay (which is considered one of France's most beautiful) and offers panoramic views of Cap Ferrat peninsula out towards Italy and Monaco. 

The property is located in the Forêt Nationale de France park, close to the beach, and only a few minutes' drive away from the Old Town of the Nice City center. It's also neighbors with the Fort du Mont Alban that was built in the 16th Century by Emmanuel Philibert, the Duke of Savoy.
