Domaine du Mont Leuze in Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Built in the 19th century as a private Mediterranean estate, Domaine du Mont Leuze has been restored to showcase its original architectural grandeur while accommodating modern celebrations.

Perched above Villefranche-sur-Mer with panoramic views of the French Riviera coastline, the estate spans manicured gardens and elegant indoor spaces suitable for ceremonies and receptions.

The venue maintains its historic character—including period stonework and vine-covered terraces—while providing contemporary amenities for hosting up to 150 guests.

What a venue! What a team! We had a true coup de cœur for Domaine du Mont Leuze the moment we stepped in — and that was in November! So you can imagine how breathtaking the view was on our sunny August wedding day. The interiors are just as beautiful, which gave us peace of mind knowing we’d be covered even if it rained. The bar area made for the perfect groom photos, while the spacious accommodations were ideal for the bride and bridesmaids getting ready. The entire team at the Domaine was exceptional — accommodating, professional, and always quick to answer our questions with thoughtful suggestions. They guided us seamlessly through every step of the process, and their expertise truly shows. If you’re considering this venue, book quickly — especially if you’d like to enjoy a next-day brunch or secure the on-site accommodation. We couldn’t recommend them more! - M & F, French-Norwegian couple
