We immediately fell for this restored 19th-century bastide set near Grasse on the French Riviera. Surrounded by cypress and olive trees and with standout views from all angles, this is the perfect place to rest and reset. It's a peaceful, spacious retreat with open-air living on the ground floor plus a large main bedroom with direct access to the terrace. Upstairs, the other bedrooms are equally well-appointed and all come with knockout views. The setting encourages slow days by the pool, meals cooked on the summer kitchen and long evenings spent drinking rosé in the outdoor lounge. If you can tear yourself away then you're well placed to explore the coastline, villages and beaches of the Côte d’Azur.
