Nestled on a mountainside above the historic town of Vence, this home offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the Côte d'Azur. Ideal for extended family or a group of friends, it’s impossible not to relax here. But for us, the cherry on top is the outdoor space. We love the private pool, secret dining spots, and, of course, those views that stretch for miles. If they tempt you away from home, it’s a mere three kilometres down the mountain to Vence, where a host of French eateries await, or you can pop to the daily market for some local produce to cook at home.

With a beautiful view of Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice, this unique home is a treasure. It has been interior designed by a travel writer and furnished with antiques from across the globe, giving this home a museum-like feel. It’s not just this apartment that’s steeped in history, the locale was favoured by Queen Victoria and many European monarchs. This abode is set away from the crowds – the flower market and attractions of the Old Town are within walking distance or a short ride away. Nice’s stunning beaches, on the other hand, are around a twenty-minute stroll from this unforgettable home.

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.

Whitewashed and compact, this fuss-free apartment is the perfect base from which to explore the dazzling French Riviera. Inside, parquet, rattan and tufts of pampas combine to create a relaxing living space – curl up on the loveseat with a coffee in the mornings and a chilled glass of wine in the evenings.

Rustle up a traditional salade niçoise in the kitchen or try out a local restaurant if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals. Spend golden afternoons stretched out on Voilier Beach, less than a five-minute walk away, before strolling down the Promenade des Anglais with an ice cream in hand. Mosey into the old town for its jumble of narrow cobblestone streets, pastel-hued buildings and artisanal shops. In the early evening, admire the masterpieces in the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum, then head up to Castle Hill for a knockout sunset.

It seems only fitting that you’ll have your own wine cave in this home – you will be staying in a vineyard after all. In the green hills of Saint Paul de Vence and with 3.8 hectares of glorious gardens to enjoy, this is a spectacular home to gather in for a special event or just treat yourself to a Riviera holiday in style. You’ll have a whole resort’s worth of amenities to enjoy – there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court (hard court, in case you’re wondering), fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, pool table and a cinema room with rows of recliners that will take movie night to a whole new level. The kitchen is equipped with Gaggenau appliances and the fourteen-seater dining table will ensure that you really can savour the wine over a long dinner. When you’ve finished your feast, choose between two living rooms, decorated in shades of blue and white, with matching porcelain vases and houndstooth rugs. Or take your glass out to one of the outdoor terraces and breathe in the fresh country air before drifting off in the comfort of one of the seven bedrooms.

Perched on the edge of historic Vence in the Côte d'Azur region, this home's fantastic views could distract you from the home itself. That would be a shame, as it's a charming home – spread over three floors, you can easily find a spot to tuck yourself away with a glass of red. The outdoor areas shine here – along with the pool, you'll find a boules court and garden seating areas, while the al fresco dining area will serve you well in the warm climate. When it's time to branch out, you'll find several rustic restaurants nearby in Vence, and Nice is just a forty-minute drive away.

There’s a distinctly provincial feel to this villa in the southern French countryside. The charming village of St Paul De Vence is walkable and Nice is an easy drive away. With a private swimming pool surrounded by greenery, loads of furnished patios and terraces, and a fully-equipped summer kitchen, it’s clear this place is designed for days outdoors in the southern sun. It’s naturally cool inside, thanks to the open living areas connected by archways and tiled floors underfoot. The cellar-like stocked bar is a nice surprise. Plus, there’s an exercise room for morning workouts. Bedrooms are split between a main villa and two dependences.

It's hard to know where to start when talking about our favourite things about this magnificent holiday home on France's captivating Cote d'Azur. 

Of course, the meticulously finished, thoughtfully decorated interior is among its many highlights – providing a setting that is at once comfortable and luxurious, whilst also feeling relaxed and homely and exuding a certain beguiling, understated rustic elegance. Step outside, and you're sure to find the exterior areas of this home truly exquisite. With loads of inviting spaces to sit and enjoy a drink while taking in the splendour of your surroundings, the hardest thing will be deciding exactly where to park yourself for an hour or two. Then there's the wonderful location amid a quiet, leafy area in Saint-Paul, one of the area's most sought-after locations. Nestled on the edge of an untamed forest on a large plot of around 5000 square metres filled with fruit trees, palms, and flowers, the feeling here is more of being on a private estate than simply a villa. 

Spend your days here exploring the expansive grounds within and beyond the property's perimeters. Anyone for a spot of tennis? If so, you needn't leave the grounds. The same goes should you want to while away an hour or two with a game of boules, or if you simply fancy a dip in the pool before drying off in the sun, lazing on one of the loungers in the afternoon warmth. 

Or, take the roughly 35-minute stroll into the old town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where you will find bundles of quintessentially southern French charm, fantastic restaurants serving the finest local cuisine, and one winding cobbled laneway prettier than the last within the old city walls. For something a little more upmarket, or to mark a special occasion, there are several (that's right, several) Michelin-star restaurants reachable with just a short drive.

For those with a taste for the archetypal French Riviera, the effortlessly chic town of Nice, perched on the glittering waters of the Mediterranean, is just a 25-minute drive away. Now, that's enough to make anyone say Bon Voyage.

Boule Me Over

Relax with your morning coffee on the balcony and watch the world go by at this apartment in the centre of Nice. Given the central location, it can be a tad noisy, but we love that it's filled with sunlight and comfortable to boot.

Famous tourist sites are only a five-to-ten-minute walk away, so there'll be plenty to do in the local vicinity. The area is full of charming shops and eateries, all of which are accompanied by the delicious aroma of coffee from local cafés. Or, dip your toes in the magnificent blue waves of Cannes or take a boat ride in Monaco – about a forty-five-minute drive away.

If you don't have a car, the location is ideal for walking, so you won't have any transportation issues. If you would like to explore further, the nearest bus stop is only a two–minute walk away, and a tram stop is only a three–minute walk away. This home is ideal for those who appreciate convenience combined with beauty.

Nice Ville

Games Room

Access to Beach

Hammock

Formerly an olive farm, this villa was converted into an aristocrat’s home the 18th century, and has recently been restored to all its former grandeur, with some added modern comforts. It’s totally charming: the butter yellow exteriors are complimented by forest green shutters, and on one side there’s a tower rising three floors high. The interiors are typified by their old world charm: high ceilings, antique french tiled floors, duck egg blue curtains and oil paintings make the living space a cosy place to relax. The modern, fully renovated kitchen has two sliding glass doors leading to an al fresco table, which is the perfect spot to enjoy home cooked delights on sunny days. 

The villa is in a private and serene area on a hilltop, surrounded by two hectares of fragrant landscaped gardens, featuring numerous terraces, centennial olive trees, cypresses, and oleanders that lead up to a woodland. Wander down one of the paths to admire panoramic views of the Saint-Véran Forest, the Alps and the sea. 

Stroll fifteen minutes down to old Villeneuve-Loubet, a charming Provencal village for coffee and pastries in the morning, before coming home for a dip in the pool. On sunny days, hop in the car and drive fifteen minutes to your pick of sandy beaches along the coastline, before lunch at a seafront restaurant. You’ll want to make it back home for sunset, for drinks on the terrace as the land turns golden. On warm evenings, light the candles at the poolside table and enjoy dinner beneath the stars. 

Villa Tourelle

Doorman

This home might not be the largest flat we’ve ever seen, but it punches well above its weight. That's what come to mind as you take in the bold zebra stripes moving down the walls and the subtle pops of blue and fuchsia in the curtains and artwork. It’s in a great spot in the centre of Nice, and comes with a range of utilities and nearby parking spaces too. If efficiency, beauty and location are your priorities, there's nowhere better to look.

Straight Down to the Sea

Wine Cellar

Herb Garden

Bursting with character and Mediterranean charm, this Provençal villa blends boutique-style interiors with paradise gardens to create a dream getaway in the south of France. 

With a mild climate through the winter months and glorious sunshine guaranteed in the summer, it's a safe bet that you'll want to spend much of your time soaking up the exquisitely beautiful ambience of the garden setting. Whether you're out by the swimming pool, inspired by the iconic La Colombe d'Or hotel, wandering around the flower garden scented with aromas of lavender, fruit trees and olive groves or preparing alfresco feasts at the patio's kitchen – this private sanctuary of bliss presents a peaceful place any time of day. 

While the garden is hard to top, the interior is just as dreamy. French windows invite light-filled energy into the space, where a mix of both contemporary and classic designs pave the way to a comfortable stay. The main villa features four plush bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a roll-top bath and a large dressing room. Meanwhile, the fifth bedroom is set up as its own studio, boasting a kitchenette and en-suite bathroom. For those travelling with a nanny or other staff, the final double room housed in a separate guesthouse will come in handy as it offers a slice of privacy where needed. 

Set in Saint Paul de Vence, one of France's most beautiful villages, you'll be just a short stroll down to the sought-after Fondation Maeght. Here you can admire its collection of modern art and wander through its incredible Joan Miró sculpture garden. Further down the lane and into the town centre, you'll find shops and restaurants to enjoy amongst its narrow lanes and weekly farmers market. 

Lily of the Nile 

In the medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes, there’s a townhouse that captured our hearts the moment we walked up the cobbled streets to its front door. Welcomed by the effortless French style we’ve long admired, the home has been carefully curated to inspire. 

The artistic and traditional features of the living and dining area, perfectly blend with luxurious details to create a sense of ease and relaxation. Open the large wooden doors onto the beautiful terrace and enjoy incredible views of the French countryside. This is the perfect spot to enjoy dinners al fresco, sip local wine and simply bask in the beauty of this special place. 

Spend the day winding your way along country roads, visiting the renowned markets of Antibes, exploring Chateau Musee Grimaldi where Renoir once lived, or enjoy a slow afternoon with a book in a local cafe. 

End your day with an exceptional dining experience in Cannes which is only a forty-minute drive away, or soak in the magic of the village setting from your terrace.

Don't Touch The Art

Private Parking

Perched above Villefranche-sur-Mer, this top-floor apartment delivers Riviera living at its finest. With a private 90-square-metre rooftop terrace, panoramic views over Cap Ferrat, and designer-curated interiors, it’s a sun-soaked sanctuary that sits prettily between Nice and Monaco. Enjoy your morning coffee as the Mediterranean glistens below or sip wine under the stars after a day exploring the coast. Keen to explore the coast? The harbour, beach, and charming old town of Villefranche are all within a leisurely ten-minute walk. Or, hire a car to explore even more of the Cote d’Azur effortlessly. 

Cap Ferrat Dream

Hot Tub

With stunning views across the coast, this home is perfectly placed for a dreamy French escape. There’s a serene terrace with a Jacuzzi for long relaxing soaks and you’ll have a barbecue for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms are effortlessly stylish with all the essentials you could need to switch off and unwind. The second floor bedroom is a special highlight with a private balcony. Plus, it’s just a short drive to the nearest beaches and the vibrant heart of Nice. 


The Blooming Sea

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.  

The Windy Poplars

Underfloor Heating

The village of Valbonne is just a thirty-minute drive inland from incredible Côte d’Azur scenery like the city of Cannes and its beautiful beaches. It’s also less than twenty minutes from Grasse, also known as the home of perfume. With such wonderful sights and smells in the region, it’s no surprise that this sensational experience continues at home. This loft is set in the heart of the quaint, traditional town. We love its stony exterior with typically French blue wooden shutters, which continues inside. All the interior walls display this fantastic exposed brickwork, with vaulted wooden ceilings and shiny stone floors. When the sun goes down, you can head up to the mezzanine bedroom. Parquet flooring and warm lighting make it feel cosy – perfect for slumbering after a long day of exploring the delights of the town and the coastal region.

The May Rose

Foosball / Table Football

Set on the grounds of a thirteenth-century chateau, this home offers the chance to stay on one of the oldest estates on the Côte d’Azur. It’s a part of France famous for its artistic heritage. Picasso, Matisse and Cézanne all painted in the area, and the Picasso museum, Matisse chapel and the Colombe D'or - where artists would pay for food with paintings - keep this rich history alive. Just a 3km walk to the sea, and 15km and 23km from Nice and Cannes respectively, you're perfectly positioned to explore the region. That is, if you can tear yourself away from the tranquility of the salt-filtered pool, 8.5 hectares of private parkland and shaded outdoor terrace.

La Palme D'Or

Shared Pool

Single-Level Home

A short drive from the sea, this contemporary apartment is in a prime spot for exploring the charms of the Côte d'Azur. The space is compact yet cleverly designed, with a kitchen and dining area if you’d like to eat in. Outside, there’s a secluded terrace that offers a glimpse of the sea in the distance – the perfect place to sit and plan a day of sightseeing. You can also enjoy a swim in the shared pool, while soaking up the sunshine that makes the French Riviera so special. Just note you'll need to pay for towels here.

Riviera Rest

Secured Parking

Rooftop Terrace

Set high above the Mediterranean Sea, this contemporary apartment is well-suited to families or friends seeking great scenery and style in the South of France. With a private balcony and access to a solarium, expect to bookend your day with a morning coffee and an evening cocktail alfresco. In between, you have lots to choose from. Lounge on the balcony with a book in hand, or make your way to the nearby beach. Enjoy lunch in a local cafe or do a spot of shopping. With lots of charming villages just a short drive away, you'll be spoiled for choice. 

 Mediterranean Views

Sauna

Accessible Parking

Gated Community

On a private estate in the hills, this home encourages you to soak up the French Riviera sun. With living spaces split across a main villa and a guest house, outdoors is undoubtedly the place to gather, where you can cool off in the pool, find a quiet seat in the lush landscaped garden, or unwind in the private sauna. Open up the sliding doors in the living room to take in green views – you'll catch an inviting glimpse of the nearby hilltop town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, which is definitely worth a visit on Friday mornings for the local Provençal market. While it might be tempting to spend all your time at home, Nice is less than an hour's drive away.

Painted Abode

Combining the winning qualities of modern, comfortable interiors with panoramic views that will have your jaw on the floor as soon as you cross the threshold, this two-bedroom apartment offers an unforgettable stay in the hills of Villefranche-sur-Mer. A true Mediterranean gem, it’s filled with natural light and features a private terrace that frames the spectacular vista, inviting lazy mornings and sun-drenched afternoons. When you’re ready to venture out, there’s plenty to see and do – explore the nearby coastal towns and beachfronts, or unwind at the cafes and restaurants throughout Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Riviera Gem

This beautiful home is perfect for a relaxing holiday in the South of France. Situated in the heart of the countryside, the home offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and villages from the garden and balcony. There’s a private, saltwater swimming pool, plenty of seating and dining areas and a pétanque field to keep everyone entertained. Another element of this home we love is that each of the bedrooms has its own terrace. Set in the charming town of La Colle-sur-Loup, this villa is also just a five-minute drive from the village of St Paul de Vence. The sparkling beaches of the Côte d'Azur can also be reached within a thirty-minute drive.

The Lemon Trees

Sitting on the luscious hilltops above Nice, this villa brings a little bit of trademark French Riveria glamour to a slightly more rural location.

Out in the garden, it's pretty obvious where summer afternoons will be spent — out in the swimming pool surrounded by trees and loungers. Once you've been for a dip or two, there's shady seating on the covered terrace and a balcony from which you're treated to a rather lovely view of the valley.

Inside, there's definitely a rustic flavour in the design, as seen with the tiled flooring and country kitchen, but there are more contemporary flourishes in the shape of mid-century-inspired furnishings and brightly coloured bathrooms.

In the local area, you'll find plenty of hiking routes and scenic points, as well as a few wine bars and restaurants for well-earned refreshments. If you prefer a day out at the beach, Plage Landsberg takes half an hour to reach in the car and the seaside city of Nice just ten minutes longer than that.

Mother Tongue

Pool / Snooker Table

Security System

You’ll find this contemporary home nestled in the hills of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Outside, there are stunning views from the private heated pool and there’s a terrace with a barbecue for magical evening meals. Inside, the rooms are fresh, minimal and well suited to families with three floors offering an abundance of space to stretch out. There’s also a cinema room with a projector for movie screenings. Private parking is available and it’s just a short drive to the nearest beaches as well as the vibrant heart of Nice. 


Azure Sea

This modern apartment is in the heart of Antibes, just a short walk from the Picasso Museum and Port Vauban. You’ll be perfectly located for exploring the French Riviera, and will have a comfortable space to call home when you’re not out and about. The apartment is ideal for couples and solo travellers, equipped with everything you might need for a short break. The light-filled living space leads to the kitchen, where you can whip up dishes – though you’ll have plenty of restaurants to choose from nearby if you want to sample the local cuisine. 

Azure Antibes

Piano

Playground

There are stunning views from this home with its heated pool, summer kitchen and alfresco dining spots. Guests can also enjoy the table tennis, yoga, gym lawn and boules court in the terraced gardens planted with olive, orange and fig trees. Once owned by the 8th Earl Spencer, there’s an impressive Provençal-style lounge (one of several) and we love the conservatory reading room with its idyllic vistas. Some of the bedrooms here have en-suites and some open out onto the terrace, while two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed at full capacity. Location-wise, this place is just a short walk from the local village and it's around a thirty-minute drive from the beaches of the French Riviera. 

Provençal Panache

24-Hour Security

Security Cameras

Location, location, location – it doesn't get much better than this. Nestled in the picturesque Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, you'll be able to enjoy one of the best positions on the French Riviera here. Overlooking the Cap Ferrat peninsula, there's a sunny balcony to enjoy – the perfect spot for alfresco dining – as well as access to a shared saltwater pool. Prefer the beach? You're in luck, as you'll have your pick of some of the very best, complete with beach clubs and restaurants, all within walking distance. The towns of Cap Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer are also just a short stroll from home, meaning there's no need for a car here (though if you do choose to bring one, underground parking is available).

Riviera Treasure

Jacuzzi

Comprising a main villa and garden studio, plus a sprawling pool and a summer kitchen set across a 1,100-square-metre garden, this home has plenty of space for your group of family or friends. Blending rustic charm with contemporary design, the property, which has hosted Hollywood stars and French writers such as Marcel Pagnol, features various hang-out areas inside and out with a piano, fireplace, and hidden doorway adding to its quirky appeal. Just a seventeen-minute walk to the beach and a short drive from some of the Riviera’s most iconic towns, this is the kind of place where, no matter how you choose to spend your time, your stay is sure to be unforgettable.
