Valbonne, Côte d'Azur, France — 3-Bed Villa With Heated Pool

About This Property

There are two very different Riviera experiences available within a short drive of each other along this stretch of the Côte d'Azur. The first is Cannes — the seafront, the Croisette, the energy of a city that presents itself permanently to the world. The second is the Provençal hinterland — villages of pale stone and shuttered façades, lavender in the summer air, and a rhythm of life that makes the coast feel distant even when it is close. This villa, positioned quietly at the edge of Valbonne, belongs entirely to the second experience.

The house is built in the Provençal manner — a style that has endured for centuries in this corner of France for good reason, combining thick walls, shaded terraces and south-east-facing orientation into something that stays cool in August and warm in October. The heated pool sits in generous, well-planted grounds; the partially shaded south-east terrace, fragrant with Mediterranean planting, is the natural place to spend a morning. A fireplace inside handles the cooler months with ease, and the garden — mature and private — adds a further dimension of quiet to what is already a notably tranquil address.
