With panoramic views that have inspired Picasso, Matisse and Miró, this home proudly overlooks the Valmasque forest from the private pool and ample outdoor seating. As if in homage, there's an artistic approach to the decor, and you'll find photography and art around the villa. Though this might not be to everyone's liking, we think the monochromatic palette keeps it neutral enough. Besides, it's comfortable and well-equipped, too. Location-wise, the coast is dotted with beaches like Plage de la Batterie, only minutes away, and the Friday market in Valbonne is a must.
