Experience a truly idyllic holiday in the heart of the French countryside, a short drive away from the glorious beaches of the Cote d’Azur, with a stay at this elegant villa. Nestled amidst beautiful trees and surrounded by a huge garden, this gem of a place is an ideal spot for a family or a group of friends seeking a tranquil retreat in the Mediterranean sun. Arrive to be welcomed by the charming exterior and a big pool which invites you to dip right in. Out here you’ll also want to organise delicious feasts and cocktail soirées under the stars. Come inside and feel immediately at home in the bright and cosy living area, with plenty of comfy sofa space to kick back and relax. You’ll also find a large dining table here should you wish to move the party inside – and the well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up those scrumptious snacks a breeze. We love the retro feel of this home, with charming and quaint pieces dotted around and a central fireplace for added warmth should a chillier night catch you by surprise. For a night of restful sleep head over to the bedrooms, all featuring lovely views... of the garden. Wake up restored and enjoy a leisurely breakfast outside on the poolside patio. When it comes to exploring beyond your green oasis there’s more than enough to keep everyone entertained: from the vibrant joys of Cannes and Nice, both under half an hour’s drive away, to the neighbouring medieval town of Saint Paul de Vence, there is plenty to discover. Not to mention the fantastic beaches and countless nature trails, all within easy access too.
