Château Faraghi, Manor house near the beach in Le Lavandou, France.

Château Faraghi is a manor house on the French Riviera coast with a distinctive U-shaped structure, two circular towers, and red-tiled roofing. The building rises above the Mediterranean landscape, offering views toward the sea from its elevated setting above the water.

Built between 1934 and 1937 for André Faraggi (1897–1980), a former air pilot and head of the Office général de l'air, the villa was named "château" by its owner, who spelled it Faraghi after his own name. In 1971 he sold it to the Bruni Tedeschi family; it belongs to Marisa Bruni Tedeschi, mother of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

André Faraggi named the villa "château" and spelled it "Faraghi" after his own surname. Since 1971 it has belonged to the Bruni Tedeschi family and serves as a gathering place for the clan; at the wish of Virginio Bruni, who died, the decoration has stayed as it was under the first owner.

Château Faraghi stands at the tip of Cap Nègre, within the closed Domaine du Cap-Nègre, one of 58 villas in the estate. It is private property and not open to visitors; during Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency the domain was temporarily closed even to walkers on the coastal path. The grounds cover 3.5 hectares.

The walls measure up to 80 centimeters thick, built with stone quarried from Tourris, which accounts for much of the structure's longevity. The architecture displays Italian influences reminiscent of Lake Garda buildings, bringing an unexpected dimension to French coastal construction of that era.
