Owner's Profile

Why the Owner Chose Bormes-les-Mimosas
Bormes is one of the only villages on the Cote d'Azur that is populated even during the winter and Fall. Most of the other pictoresque villages are vacation only and are totally vacant during the off season months. This is a place where there is a stable local population, not just second home people, and this was important to me.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment, Ancient Building
The spectacular view is always an inspriation. The apartment is well laid out and very comfortable. I go there to "get away from it all".
