Set on a sprawling seven acres of private grounds, this stunning 18th-century villa is the perfect setting for an indulgent retreat. The gardens feature a private tennis court, heated pool, and multiple alfresco dining spaces, all nestled within mature cypress, olive, lemon, and orange trees. Inside, the home exudes a country manor house, with tiled floors and exposed wooden beams. You'll find the bookshelves well-stocked, so grab a novel and retreat to a sun lounger for the afternoon. Or, explore the local area – you've got so much on your doorstep. A short drive away is Grasse, known for its perfume making, while the Friday market in Valbonne is ripe with local produce. Finally, there's the glittering lights of Cannes, just 15 km away.
