Villa Bazille - Six Chambres Villa, Couchages 14

Appreciate the most wonderful views of the Côte d'Azur hinterland from this beautiful residence just a short walk from a charming perched village north-east of Grasse, around half an hour from the glistening beaches of the French Riviera. This immaculate stone villa welcomes up to 14 guests across its spacious living areas and six bedrooms. Just imagine opening the doors from the wood-beamed lounge and dining room each morning and being greeted with such magnificent panoramic vistas. Inside this fully air-conditioned family home guests can make the most of the elegant kitchen with its Lacanche range and breakfast bar, the Provençal style lounge with its Louis XVI fireplace and other relaxing spots including two TV lounges, an office (which can also act as a bedroom with a sofa-bed) and a conservatory-style reading room on the top floor with idyllic views. The six bedrooms can be found across all three floors, some with en suite bathrooms, others with doors opening out to the lower terrace and garden. The heated swimming pool features massage jets and stands within the terraced garden alongside a poolside summer kitchen and barbecue and a raised platform for bathing in the sun. Just above this, set amongst the Mediterranean plants and close to the sleepy hammock, a terrace for al-fresco dining awaits with a glorious view through the trees. Guests can enjoy the table tennis, yoga and gym lawn, boules court and swing alongside the various levels of olive, orange and fig trees across the terraced grounds. The outlook is simply idyllic whether you are sipping a morning coffee on the upper terrace or a glass of Côtes De Provence by the swimming pool. This is a very special place for anyone who has the privilege to stay here. Indeed, you may even be following the footsteps of Princess Diana's father who is said to have stayed here when he owned this house in the late 20th century. A small yet authentic perched village can be reached in around a 10-minute walk, following the country lane up the hill, where you will discover a beautifully restored medieval centre with pretty houses, shops and restaurants. Grasse, the perfume capital of France, is only 9km away whilst historic Valbonne and its famous Friday morning market is just 15 minutes by car. Other idyllic villages include Tourrettes-sur-Loup and Gourdon whilst one of the main attractions of this area is the Gorges du Loup and its waterfalls – it goes without saying that this region is a paradise for walkers and keen hikers. Art lovers should venture to Vence, St Paul de Vence and Mougins, there are many golf courses for sporting enthusiasts whilst shopaholics can enjoy the Polygone Riviera near Cagnes-sur-Mer, not to mention the fine city of Nice. Finally, the alluring coastline of the French Riviera awaits from the palm-fringed shores of Cannes to the beachside restaurants of Juan-les-Pins, Antibes and beyond, all reached in around half an hour by car.
