Does anywhere say ‘summer’ better than Provence? Air perfumed by lavender, earth hot from the sun, sage green shutters, cerulean blue skies and the chirp of crickets come nightfall – not to mention the thud of the boules and the clink of glasses full of ice-cold rosé. If this picture sounds so pretty you want to walk right into it, then why not step this way towards this vast, elegant villa near Grasse. Just a short drive from the most perfumed town in the country and just over a 30-minute drive from Cannes, this stately looking home promises views across the stunning surrounding countryside and sits happily in its own mature gardens and parkland. Travel the length of the gardens, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by your very own private tennis court. While closer to the house, there’s a Roman-style pool to dip your toes into. Meander through the gardens, and you’ll find plenty of secret little spots to sequester yourself away for an afternoon nap. Other alfresco delights include a summer kitchen with barbecue and a picture-perfect pavilion with a covered dining table that offers the best seats – and view – in the house. Decorated in a classically French style, the home has retained many of its original features, including high, beamed ceilings and traditional tiled floors. Furnished in a combination of antiques and more modern pieces, we particularly love the large bathrooms with freestanding tubs and views across the countryside. Downstairs, the elegant living room and pretty farmhouse kitchen are perfect for spending quality time together whether you’re staying with friends or family – imagine the feasts you’ll whip up together and the board games you’ll feud over once the sun goes down. Or maybe you won’t be able to tear yourselves away from the outdoor dining table – one more drink? Go on. You’re on holiday.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
