Château Vallombrosa stands in Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on the rocky slopes of the Riou valley in Cannes, this large pink gneiss building recalls the Scottish-style castles inspired by Walter Scott's novels. Built in the 1850s for an English aristocrat, it later became the residence of a Sardinian duke before turning into a grand hotel and eventually a building divided into private apartments. Visitors can still see the crenellated towers, a chapel with stained glass and carved woodwork, and a park planted with tropical species.
