French actress Brigitte Bardot rented this historic 13th century property called "Le Castelet" in the small town of Capris near Cannes, after she divorced her first husband, movie director Roger Vadim in 1957.

The main 6,458 sqft house is composed of 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, with an elevator that goes to all 4 levels.There are rustic beams, exposed stonework and period hardwood details throughout. The main salon is centered around an original XIV fireplace, and there are plenty of French doors that access the outdoor terrace. There’s also a kitchen and a more casual dining area with a candle chandelier. The master suite includes a private library, fireplace and a glass wall of doors that lead to a private terrace. There’s also a 5 bedroom guest house on the property, in addition to a pool house and a studio. There are vineyards, a wine grotto and a hammam with multiple pools. There are two levels of stone decks, as well as a recently added infinity pool with a spa. One of the covered terraces is fitted with an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and a table that can fit up to 60 people. Elsewhere on the grounds, there are orchids, a boules court and a separate spa. The property was completely renovated by the current owners between 1998 and 2011.

Bardot used "Le Castelet" as her country getaway for several years in the 1950s and reportedly planned on purchasing it but her mother urged her buy the seafront estate called La Madrague in Saint Tropez, where Bardot still lives to this day. La Madrague is also mapped on this site.
