With the highly anticipated Downton Abbey – A New Era set to hit the big screen May 20, Red Savannah Villas invites guests to find their inner Downton Abbey aristocratic self and stay at some of Europe’s most elegant estates. From a chateau in France to a villa in Monaco, guests will live like the Crawleys, as depicted in the new film, enjoying cocktail parties on the terrace and boat rides along the Riviera.

Situated near the Riviera, La Casella lies in the French countryside, surrounded by peaceful villages of the Côte d’Azur’s arrières-pays. This Neoclassical pavilion once served as the home of former Colefax & Fowler chairman, Tom Parr, and features some of the most stunning views of gardens in the region.
La Casella boasts a drawing room full of windows and a terrace for guests to enjoy pre-dinner drinks or a moment of relaxation in the morning. The property includes many pathways lined with vibrant flowers like scented roses and lavender, with some of the walkways leading to a wisteria-draped pergola. The gardens, designed by Claus Scheinert, allow guests to enjoy the beautiful weather and gorgeous views characteristic of the French countryside.
