Villa Clara is a beautiful, private, self contained Provençal style holiday home. The superb two level villa combines traditional Provençale living with modern comforts, conveniences and amenities, giving you the best of both worlds.
Located in the charming medieval village of St Jeannet, Villa Clara is only two minute's walk from the Village's butcher, grocer, French bakeries, and six restaurants and bars. Upon arrival you will be greeted by our friendly French managers Benoit & Corinne. They are fluent in both French and English and they live in the village. If you need any advice or assistance Benoit & Corinne are always on hand to help. Villa Clara offers excellent privacy and security. The villa is situated behind two locked gates. There is also a security alarm, monitored 24 hours a day.
It is ideal for a family holiday, or as place to be enjoyed with friends. The villa and stand-alone studio can comfortably accommodate a group of eight people. You can simply relax at Villa Clara, and explore Provence and the Côte d’Azur. Italy too is within easy reach – the Italian border is only a one-hour drive away. Travel along the coast to explore the bustle of Cannes, historic Antibes or take a short trip along the Riviera to Monaco. If you wish to travel further, Nice Airport is just 16 Kilometres away.
Enjoy wonderful Mediterranean views; dine on the terrace with our simple to use wood-fired pizza oven; swim in our private pool. The location gives you all the busy Cote D'Azur has to offer combined with the get-away-from-it-all retreat that Provence is famous for. From Villa Clara you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean, the hilltop village of St Paul de Vence and the marvellous surrounding countryside of Provence.
Villa Clara is all about long summer days, great food, beautiful wine and pure enjoyment. It’s about experiencing l’essence de Provençale. We have furnished the Villa with everything to make you feel at home while you are transported into a different and beautiful world.

If no-one in your party is using the cottage, why not simply enjoy it as a fantastic summer house – a great place to take it easy on those long, hot Mediterranean summer days.
* The Pool * Villa Clara is just fifteen kilometres from the coast, but you needn’t go that far for a swim. The private garden pool is nine meters long and 4.5 meters wide, sloping from a depth of 0.9 meters down to 1.8 meters at deep end.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose St. Jeannet
Our dream started 15 years ago, when we would come to The South of France every year for the month of September.
We would often rent an apartment in Villefranche Sur Mer, and we commented that we could offer so much more ( a home away from home) if we purchased a property and rented it out on the short term rental market.
So in 2004 we started in earnest looking for the ideal French home away from home.
We fell in love with Villa Clara after looking at hundreds of properties over a 2 year period (yes we travelled more than just once a year…actually up to 4 trips a year!)
In December 2005 our dream became a reality, and we became the proud owners of Villa Clara.
Living in New Zealand we can really only holiday here during our long summer break in December and January, which leaves us to share with our guests the best of the Villa and the weather in our peak rental months of June, July, August, September.
Every now and again when there is a gap we run away and enjoy the sun!
