This family-friendly villa promises the best of both worlds – an idyllic countryside location, yet a short drive to the sandy beaches of the Côte d'Azur and glamourous French Rivera. There's no better place to bask in the peaceful surroundings than the lush garden, with its refreshing pool, picturesque terrace and sweeping hillside views. Grab a good book and retreat to a shady spot under the tree or stretch out on the poolside loungers on lazy afternoons. Inside is warm and inviting, brimming with plush furniture, colourful artwork and grand windows overlooking the garden. We adore the personality the owners have injected into this home – it's a little rustic, a tad bohemian, and full of character. Keen cooks will love picking up fresh ingredients from the market in Valbonne and preparing dinner in the spacious kitchen. Our serving suggestion – best enjoyed alfresco with a glass of Côtes de Provence on the terrace. If you find yourself craving a day out, Valbonne is home to an array of quaint cafes and shops, while Grasse, Antibes and Cannes are all just a half-hour drive away.
