About this house rental

An authentic 18th Century stone Bastide, south facing and set in 3 acres of grounds amongst olive trees with private heated swimming pool and stunning views across the countryside towards the sea (the Bay of Cannes).

The property measures 450 sq m (4850 sq ft) and has 6 spacious and well appointed bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms and air-conditioning. The summer kitchen opens out on to an outdoor terrace overlooking the pool with sea views. The living room, dining room, guest toilet and laundry/utility room are located on the ground floor along with a fully fitted spacious Mark Wilkinson (winter) kitchen with oak spiral staircase leading up to the TV room (also can be used as a playroom). The living room and dining rooms open out on to a typically Provencal courtyard providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and including a petanque court.

2 minutes from local shops - bakers, butchers, fruit and vegetable market, small supermarket.

5 minutes from Valbonne and 10 minutes from Mougins and Grasse town centres

20 minutes from the coast - beaches in Cap d’Antibes, Juan les Pins and Cannes.

Activities: There are several golf courses and tennis clubs nearby; it is a popular area for cycling; and there is plenty of hiking a short drive away. There is also a selection of fitness centres/gyms nearby.

In the heart of the Cote d’Azur, it was the home of a venerable Italian racing car driver; then it was completely restored by a well-known British travel journalist and author; and now it is enjoyed by an international family.

The home was incredible and just what we needed for our group of adults and young kids. The home itself is beautiful and spacious and the pool and yard offered us all many hours of fun. I could have stayed on the property our entire stay but was cajoled into day trips the to the many sites and beaches on the cotes d'azur which are very easy to reach from Nick's place in Grasse (Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat etc.). Nick was extremely easy to communicate with and helpful with recommendations. It was a fantastic stay - I highly recommend it.

Dear Nick and Marc, we had a wonderful week in this great house. It was a perfect vacation for our large family, old and young. The beautiful pool, the wonderful place to eat and grill, the lovingly decorated house, everything was ideal and fit perfectly for us as a large group. Thank you that all our questions were always answered quickly and we got great tips for the surrounding area. We would love to come back next year. All the best! Bettina and Oliver with family

The property is just stunning and the house is in A+++ condition. The wi-fi is speedy (much to the happiness of the college aged kids with us). All bathrooms and the kitchens have been updated and are well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. Thanks Nick for your hospitality.

Fabulous family holiday
Fabulous family holiday
Thank you so much Nick for the most wonderful holiday. We had 3 generations of the family all staying for my Mum's 70th birthday celebrations and the villa was absolutely perfect in every way. Such an attractive building, with all the charm you'd expect from a French farmhouse on the outside and tastefully decorated inside. The spacious garden/pool area was perfect for our active family - including swimming, table tennis and petanque - with a delightful terrace for lunch or evening drinks in the sunshine. Excellent location for exploring the local traditional villages such as Valbonne but also easy access to many beautiful beaches on the coast. Nick answered all our questions promptly and Lucy was extremely helpful upon arrival and during our stay. We would all love to come back next year!

Your beautiful home was the highlight of our trip!
Your beautiful home was the highlight of our trip!
Dear Nick, Your beautiful home was the highlight of our trip to France! From the moment the gates opened and we drove up the curving driveway, we were captivated. The blend of the charming old with the comfort and convenience of the new was just perfect. The grounds were breathtaking and so spacious we felt like we were living in a park. The pool and outdoor space begged to be used and enjoyed, and we did. Our family of 14 all had luxurious bedrooms and beds, each with its own modern bathroom. The chefs you suggested added to the convenience and luxury of the entire experience. The only improvement that could have been made was if we had stayed much longer. We have enjoyed a number of well recommended and very comfortable homes in different parts of the world, but our stay at your villa was the most memorable of them all. We thank you again and certainly hope to return one day soon. Warmly, Pat Franks and family
