Villa Fiorentina, Renaissance Revival villa in Californie district, Cannes, France.

The Villa Fiorentina stands on avenue de Poralto, featuring Italian-style terraced gardens with fountains, a Venetian well, and decorative sculptures throughout the property.

Built in 1880 by architects Eugene Lizero and Louis Lafond, the villa was purchased in 1894 by Count Philippe Vitali who transformed its English gardens into Tuscan-inspired landscapes.

The property includes a Florentine-style chapel, which was later acquired by painter Emmanuel Bellini and converted into his art studio, now functioning as a museum.

The villa, listed in the general inventory of cultural heritage, operates as a co-ownership property since 1953, maintaining its historical architectural elements.

During World War I, the Villa Fiorentina served as an auxiliary hospital, providing medical care to wounded soldiers within its Renaissance Revival walls.
