As soon as you catch a glimpse of the surrealist pool on the lawn, you know that this home offers something of a twist on the traditional French villa. But the hosts have not compromised on comfort in their search for a unique aesthetic; comfortable lounges and sunny terraces are the perfect settings for a mid-morning coffee and there are plenty of places to soak up the rays of the Côte d'Azur. If you can bear to tear yourself away from the views of the hillside home, there’s a wealth of countryside and culture to explore -- a twenty minute drive will take you to some of the area’s famous beaches or the city centre of fashionable Nice, whereas the quaint village of Vence is just a ten minute walk away. Saunter down to explore the weekly antiques market, visit the chapel designed by Matisse, or prepare for a day’s hiking through the picturesque hills. Here, the sky really is the limit.
