Sir Elton has previously hosted the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, comedian David Walliams and actor couple Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka at the property which was once dubbed his ‘Pink Villa’.

He bought the Belle Epoque villa surrounded by the green spaces of Mont Boron in the 1990s and locals have described it as the ‘Bel Air of Nice’ thanks to the concentration of multimillion-pound mansions in the area. 

Sir Elton’s home is just a 20-mile drive away from Cannes, where the annual film festival is held, and he is said to enjoy tending to his plants in the garden of the property, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
