About Axel Schultze

My wife and I were born in Germany, lived 20 years in Silicon Valley and now in Switzerland. We were renting vacation homes for over 10 years ourselves and now renting out our own freshly renovated vacation home. We've lived in many different spaces and know what it means to open a foreign door and hoping to feel home quickly. You may read our blog posts at to get some more ideas what we are like. Other than traveling we are hobby architects. We renovated several homes and obviously Loth Lorien. We spend most of our business lives in the IT space and really had a blast. If we wouldn't have learned how to work hard and play hard, we would have invented it - ha ha ha. Check us out on Linkedin: Looking forward to host you one day.

Axel Schultze purchased this villa in 2017

Why Axel Schultze chose Theoule-Superieur

We have traveled to the french riviera a few times. And when we returned back to Europe after about 20 years in California, we did a virtual tour on Google Maps from Portugal to Turkey along the entire Mediterranean coast. We have been physically in Spain, France, Italy, the former Yugoslavia and Greece. But in the end the French Riviera tops it all - by a huge margin - at least for us. We looked at approximately 1,100 villas online and one stood out like the Eiffel tower in Paris. It was the first we visited and knew, that was simply it. After quite some major initial complications, we finally were able to acquire it six month later, in fall 2017. And why Loth Lorien? Well if you can dive into a pool as soft as holy water, sit and look into the sea below that is as blue as ink and see the coastline along Cannes, have total privacy and a yard that is like it just live on its own - you know you are in paradise. It simply is the space where the elves in Tolkien's Lord of the rings have the time stand still.

What makes this villa unique

Obviously is the large infinity pool that can be heated and has an electric cover is just awesome but there are other villas that have very nice pools too. The same with the villa, we trust it is at least one of the top ten anywhere near. But all these features are not truly unique. Bet here are a few things you will not find anywhere else. THE SUN When in Loth Lorien you will notice that it is one of the very few spots that has sun from early in the morning until sun down, sits near the top of the hill and still takes only a few minutes to Cannes. Most villas have either evening sun OR morning sun. TOTAL PRIVACY BUT NOT ALONE Almost no matter where you are on this huge 3,000 sq meter plot you are total privacy - yet you are surrounded by homes. PROPERTY SITUATION & DRIVE WAY If you had the pleasure to rent one of the beautiful hill side vacation homes across the riviera, you noticed the steep drive ways one way our the other. The entry onto our 100 meter long drive way is almost flat. You will notice it even more when stroll through the property. Walking down the driveway, then turn left onto middle earth way walk up to the guest garden, down the process way, up our small private golf lawn and up the wild garden back to the villa, you may take 20 minutes or so - all inside the property. It is perfectly situated on top of the Theoule hills. SIZE & USAGE In case you have a lot of additional guests visiting or plan to celebrate something special, the number of places gets immediately rather small. Obviously you can rent a castle, but there is no villa to our knowledge that is a cozy home and yet allows to through a party for 100 people. We actually married here - funny enough just 4 weeks after one of the previous owners married here too. It was the most unique and inspiring wedding for all our friends and guests.
