Perched on a rocky peninsula overlooking one of the most stunning stretches of the French Riviera, the Léoube estate is a place of natural beauty and quiet grandeur. More than two decades ago, Carole Bamford and her husband stumbled upon this hidden gem—a property full of potential but in need of care and vision. Beneath the overgrown foliage and weathered façades, they saw the promise of something extraordinary.
Drawn in by the gentle slopes of the vineyards, ancient olive groves shimmering in the sun, and the intoxicating blend of lavender and sea breeze, the Bamfords began to reimagine what this estate could become for future generations. With the help of acclaimed architect Alain Raynaud, they set out to restore the property—revitalizing both its buildings and the surrounding landscape with respect and creativity.
In this book, Carole Bamford offers a personal glimpse into her home and the journey of transforming Léoube into the remarkable sanctuary it is today. Through stories, images, and reflections, she shares the evolution of a once-forgotten estate into a vibrant retreat rooted in nature and family.
