This French Riviera villa is all about lounging around and watching the world sail by. If you're after a breezy seaside holiday home that's sparkling with everything you need to put your feet up and relax, then this is it. But this one comes with some extra luxury perks inside and out, like the fact that you'll be only 2km from the gorgeous village of Théoule-Sur-Mer, known for its dramatic cliffs and secret beaches – that may well sway you from the stunning crescent-shaped infinity pool. Bright and airy, the high ceilings, marble flooring and sliding patio doors create a light-filled, open space to escape the mid-day heat. Minimalist yet cosy with vibrant pops of red and orange, antique adornments and a brick fireplace, the lounge is where old-world charm meets glitz and glam in this home. Once you've done your morning swim or sipped your coffee from the balcony, wander through the enchanting gardens below. Filled with cypress trees and bougainvillaeas, you'll find yourself getting lost in the beautiful surroundings. In the evenings, watch the majestic sunsets from your terrace while you sip on Provençal rosé under the pergola and make new memories with your loved ones. Hop on a boat to Cannes or visit Saint-Raphaël to the south – both are only 10km away and make for unforgettable trips that are well worth peeling yourself away from this pocket of paradise.

About Cannes
Think of Cannes on the Côte d’Azur and images of super-yachts, sun-kissed beaches and starlets strutting the red carpet for its iconic film festival will surely spring to mind. But Cannes' dazzle reaches far beyond the flash of the paparazzi's cameras. Yes, Porsche-admiring and celeb-spotting are some of this city’s perennial pastimes, but scratch beneath the surface and you’ll see a city rich in culture and natural beauty. Stroll along...
