LUXURY 3 BED VILLA with AMAZING VIEW and PRIVATE HEATED POOL in GORGEOUS GARDENS
VILLA OLEANDER is an elegant air-conditioned, luxury retreat in stunning Mougins, offering three beautifully appointed bedrooms - each with its own en-suite bathroom - and comfortably sleeping up to six guests. Two bedrooms sit peacefully on the upper floor, with the third conveniently located on the ground level.
At the centre of the villa is a bright, open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining area and lounge flow seamlessly together, creating the perfect setting for relaxed family gatherings or memorable moments with friends.
Step outside and you’ll find yourself immersed in a mature, south-facing Mediterranean garden. Take in the sweeping, postcard-worthy views of Mougins’ Old Village, the Bay of Cannes and the Esterel Mountains. It’s a truly magical backdrop—especially at sunset - and the village is just a scenic 15–20 minute walk away.
The beautifully terraced grounds offer complete privacy with high hedges and include a heated private pool, a pool house, table tennis and a full-size boules court. We also have a well-equipped games room for entertainment at any hour.
For your convenience and peace of mind, the villa provides private parking for three cars behind remote-controlled electric gates.
Located just 20 minutes from Nice Airport and a short 6 km from Cannes, Villa Oleander combines seclusion with enviable accessibility to all the highlights that the Côte d’Azur has to offer.
We pride ourselves on exceptional communication, attentive service, and continually striving to exceed guest expectations.
The wonderful view has inspired the design and standard throughout the villa.
Families are especially welcome and well catered for, and well-behaved pets are accepted with prior approval.
If you’re looking for comfort, views and a relaxing home away from home in the South of France, Villa Oleander is ready to welcome you.

More on our location
Our villa is located in the picture-postcard village of Mougins, an enchanting 11th-century hilltop settlement celebrated across the French Riviera for its outstanding restaurants, art galleries and renowned golf courses.
Despite its tranquil village atmosphere, Mougins enjoys excellent road links and is just 20 minutes from Nice Airport. Cannes and the Mediterranean coastline are only 6 km away, yet the setting feels distinctly Provençal — a peaceful retreat adjacent to the 427-hectare Parc de la Valmasque and Lake Fontemerle, offering woodland walks, cycling routes and shaded picnic spots.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of the Côte d’Azur, Mougins offers effortless access to iconic destinations including Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco and St-Tropez, as well as some of the region’s most charming villages such as Valbonne, Grasse, Biot and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The location also lends itself beautifully to memorable day trips to Menton and the Italian border, Aix-en-Provence, the dramatic Gorges du Verdon, and the lesser-known, unspoilt villages of the Northern Var and the Gorges du Loup.
Perched at an elevation of 260 metres, Mougins is immaculately maintained, with winding pedestrian streets lined with art galleries and boutiques. The village has long attracted artists, writers and creatives - Pablo Picasso spent the final 12 years of his life here, and his former studio now houses the tourist office. Other notable residents and visitors have included Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Yves Saint Laurent, Winston Churchill and Édith Piaf.
Mougins’ culinary reputation is equally impressive. Legendary chefs Roger Vergé and Alain Ducasse have led kitchens here, and today the village continues its gastronomic tradition with acclaimed restaurants, including those owned by celebrated chef Denis Fetisson. Each year, Mougins also hosts the highly regarded International Gastronomy Festival.
Cultural highlights include the Femme Artistes du Musée de Mougins and the Centre de La Photographie, further enhancing the village’s rich artistic heritage.
For inspiration during your stay, our in-house information is filled with carefully curated suggestions for days out, dining and local experiences, and our Pinterest boards offer additional ideas to help you make the most of this exceptional location.

About the host
Hosted by Alastair Walmsley
Hi! I`m Alastair. My wife, Sue, and I bought Villa Oleander in Mougins with Paul and his wife, Leony, in 2007. I have known Paul since I was 4 years old, and he and I manage all the issues involved in renting our villa out to others. I am a chartered accountant and he is a general dental practitioner.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to find a location and villa that we would never tire of revisiting. That location had to be the South of France because of its year round appeal - there is so much more to do than just sunbathe. Mougins, I think, has the perfect location on the Riviera - centrally placed for Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez and everywhere in between. Our villa feels like it is in the heart of Provence, yet it is only 10 minutes from the Med and 20 minutes from Nice International Airport. Oh, and it just happens to have a picture perfect medieval village famed for its excellent restaurants! Not to mention the golf courses!
What makes this property unique
Equally, Villa Oleander has the perfect position in Mougins. It is within easy walking distance of the Old Village yet perched up to have the perfect view over the village with the Mediterranean Sea in the background and the Esterel mountains to the west. All the main rooms open to this south facing view, and there is nothing quite like watching the sun going down and the village light up at night whilst drinking a glass of wine on the balcony. I will gladly email a panoramic picture of our view - it really is exceptional! We are very proud of our villa and love to stay there with our families, but take pleasure from the fact that when we can`t be there, others are enjoying it too. I am more than happy to chat with anyone who thinks they may be interested in staying there.
