Lush, green gardens surround this thoroughly contemporary villa in Côte d'Azur - when you stroll past the olive trees to the private tennis court, you simply won’t believe your luck! Two balconies look out over the long pool in the garden, where on the other side you can (and should!) dine al fresco on the shady terrace. You’ll especially adore the chandelier hanging within the arbor - très chic, pastoral.

Inside, sophisticated bastide style meets modern standards of space and comfort. Though it’s a newly built property, it retains the lightness and grace of the south of France (the cream and wicker furniture does the job). Each bedroom has the convenience of an en suite bathroom, where the vanities are large, the baths divine, and light spills across the tiled floors.

Mougins is the local town, you can reach it on foot in 10 minutes (along the road), and it hosts several museums and restaurants worth a trip. Surrounding the town are groves of pines, cypress, and olive trees. It’s a short and sweet 15 minute drive to Cannes, the famed seaside resort town you’ve been dreaming of! The shops and the sea at Boulevard de la Croisette are waiting for you.

The charming medieval hilltop town of Mougins, just a short walk away, has become famous for its art galleries and restaurants, hosting the Festival of Gastronomy every year. Whether you are looking for fine dining or authentic French cuisine, you will find a great choice of excellent restaurants in the area. The picturesque town has also appealed to artists and celebrities over the years, including Pablo Picasso who lived here for the last decade of his life until 1973.
The Mougins Museum of Classical Art is one of many art galleries and studios that are well visited by visitors in the area. The pines, olives and cypress trees in the town also add to the quality of the local environment, making the village popular with tourists in summer.

This area is a natures paradise with the wonderful Parc de la Valmasque (5km) nearby, offering hiking paths, natural trails, birdwatching stations and playgrounds across woodland hills, streams and lakes. There is horse-riding nearby and mountain bike trails for keen cyclists.

You are of course just a short drive from Cannes (9km), with all it’s delights, including restaurants, bars, shops, clubs and beaches within easy reach. A walk along the city promenade in Cannes, La Croisette, is a must as you soak up the glitz and glamour that surrounds you. The fashionable city has a brilliant nightlife, some superb restaurants and a great choice of lovely sandy beaches, both public and private.

Other delights of the French Riviera are easily reached such as historic Grasse (16km), in the hills north of Cannes, known for its perfume heritage and fields of lavender, plus the beautiful city of Nice (30km), especially the maze of narrow streets in the old town.

Keen golfers can head to Royal Mougins (7km) and play a round whilst families with children will not only enjoy the beautiful fine sandy beaches and watersports along parts of the Cote d’Azur but there are various waterparks too, including Aquasplash in nearby Antibes, just 15km away.
