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.
