Description
Step back in time to the French Riviera in the 1920s as you look out towards the Mediterranean from your beautiful sea-facing villa with a private swimming pool in a prime position on Cap d’Antibes.
The water’s edge is merely metres away where boats gently bob in the marina. The vistas are especially wonderful from Villa Elegance’s main living room – gaze as far as Île Sainte-Marguerite and the Bay of Cannes. It’s here that you can truly appreciate the early 20th century French charm of this recently refurbished abode that has remained in the same family for generations.
Admire family-owned paintings and original objets d’art alongside a stylish blend of vintage and modern furnishings whilst the decor exudes an abundance of character. We adore the coolness of the green marbled floor across much of the main floor – the house is also air-conditioned throughout. The chef’s kitchen is simply delightful with high-end Smeg appliances and gorgeous detailing – cook to your heart’s delight as fellow guests chill out with board games or TV in the second lounge.
Up to 12 guests can sleep restfully at Villa Elegance. Upstairs there are two master bedrooms with elegant en suite bathrooms and doors opening to a pretty balcony overlooking the coast. Another two garden-facing bedrooms share a spacious shower room whilst downstairs you will find the prettiest of double bedrooms with vintage furnishings alongside a cosy bedroom with a built-in bunk-bed.
Back to the light-filled living room, open the French windows and follow the steps down to the heated swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, parasols and the Mediterranean garden. Dine outside beside the loveliest of summer kitchens with a Big Green Egg barbecue, always with that uninterrupted view of the marina and sea beyond.
Perched slightly above the coastal road, you only need to stroll a few moments and you will find yourself by the sea. There’s a high-end hotel very close by with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a seasonal beach club for mezzes, cocktails or ice-cream. Locals and visitors alike gather on the small beach at sunset for yet more idyllic scenery.
Juan-les-Pins is within walking distance with summer waterside restaurants such as Belle Rives Plage around 10 minutes on foot. The chic seaside resort is famed for its great beaches, watersports, vibrant nightlife and annual jazz festival. You will no doubt fall in love with the historic citadel in Antibes, 2.5km away, home to a daily Provençal market, charming restaurants and Picasso museum.
Hike along Cap d’Antibes' spectacular coastal path or experience glorious landscapes as you venture into the hinterland with pretty hilltop villages such as Mougins and Biot. What’s more, you are also so close to the allure of Cannes and its palm-fringed beaches along this iconic stretch of the Côte d’Azur. /n Security deposit /n €2500 charged to client's credit card by Oliver’s Travels as a pre-authorisation at least 2 weeks prior to arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 11.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes. /n Pool heating charge? /n Included.
