Nestled in the Côte d'Azur hinterland, this elegant farmhouse is surrounded by protected forest and vast grounds, perfect for both kids and grown-ups to explore. The private pool is open in summer, boasting stunning views and plenty of space for sunbathing. You'll also find countless spots in the shade and the sunshine to enjoy alfresco dining. Your host can arrange extras to make your stay special, from private chefs to local tours, and the sandy shores of the French Riviera are only a thirty-minute or so drive away. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – especially as the nearby pretty-as-a-picture village is a 3-kilometre climb uphill.
