Villas which evoke such a feeling of calm, aesthetic harmony, beauty and sheer perfection are rare – Villas Jolie & Zen are two of those villas.

They sit on a hillside amidst pretty landscaped gardens overlooking woodland, with views up to the ancient village of Châteauneuf de Grasse. Villa Jolie sits above the slope with Villa Zen just below, but each villa has been designed to feel quite private and independent from the other, yet they are perfect for larger parties which will benefit from sharing the whole estate.

The magic is everywhere you look, whether indoors or outdoors - high quality furnishings, meticulous attention to detail, soothing colour schemes, original artwork…everything has received complete care and attention. These luxurious family homes are spacious and light with plenty of creature comforts like air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, high quality equipment, a gym, a TV den, a wood-fired pizza oven and a large gas barbecue. The gardens are filled with lavender, rosemary, olive trees and have a lovely children’s play area.

The two beautiful pools and terraces complete the perfect picture.

If you can drag yourself away from all the comfort and beauty, everything here is at your doorstep. The village is a 10-minute walk away via country lanes. Markets are held in Valbonne and Mouans Sartoux only minutes away, Antibes (with its Aquapark) and Cannes are only 18-22km away, the pretty artists village of Saint Paul de Vence is an easy 30-minute drive and Nice is just 35km away.

Villas Jolie & Zen are the perfect blend of both natural and man-made beauty with all the best that the French Riviera has to offer.

Location:

The hilltop village of Châteauneuf de Grasse is a delightful setting surrounded by many quaint French towns and villages. Throughout the summer months there are many festivities and celebrations taking place including open air cinema screenings, the circus, antique fairs and vintage car rallys, which are all highly recommended and certainly worth exploring.

The neighbouring town of Valbonne boasts a charming market square with narrow streets and boutique shops, perfect for an evening stroll before enjoying the delicious Provençal gastronomy from one of the many restaurants on offer. Visit the local markets offering plenty of fresh and delicious produce, head to Valbonne early on a Friday morning for a coffee and croissant before purchasing lunch from the stallholders or visit Mouans Sartoux on Thursday, Friday or Saturday for more wonderful fruits, vegetables, meats and other delicacies. The famous perfume town of Grasse is also right on your doorstep, so a visit to the Fragonard perfume museum and factory is essential.

The Cote d’Azur possesses endless beaches with many water-sporting activities, water parks and attractions to be enjoyed. The chic town of Cannes with the port bustling with super yachts and the famous Promenade de la Croisette are certainly one of many towns to visit. Similarly, the old towns of Antibes and Nice both possess endless winding streets with market stalls, local delicacies and hand crafted artworks providing hours of exploration for all the family.
