About this villa rental

Situated on a hilltop, on the quiet edge of Villeneuve-Loubet, offering a panoramic view on the Saint Veran forest, the distant Alps mountains and the sea, the property is a 18th century Italian-influence villa full of character, completely renovated in 2016/2017.
The villa is surrounded by the verdant Mediterranean nature with a splendid park of about 2ha, and a landscaped garden offering several terraces with century olive trees groves, cypresses, eucalyptus, cork oak, palm trees and oleanders leading up to a woodland. Ideally located in a private and quiet area, within the prestigious medieval castle of Villeneuve-Loubet, just 15min away from Nice airport, 10 min from the sea and within close driving distance to Cannes.

The 13x6.5m swimming pool is situated in the middle of a century olive grove. Secured swimming pool and pool-house, dinning table for up to 15 people, sun loungers and fantastic view.

This patrician villa was once an olive farm and has been converted into a residential villa in the 18th century. Completely renovated over the last two years in high standard (fully renovated bathrooms and kitchen, insulation, double glazing…) with all amenities (reversible air conditioning system integrated in the ceilings and very quiet and internet access broadband WIFI), this authentic villa has nevertheless kept its original appearance and character with its high ceilings, French doors, fireplaces, cement tiles and terracotta floors. Can accommodate up to 14 people.

Refurbishment was completed in spring 2017.

Set over 3 levels and benefiting from a bright South-East facing, the villa consists of a double living-dining room, 7 bedrooms (3 of them can be configured as needed with 2 single beds our one double bed) and 6 bathrooms and toilets in each bathroom.

On the ground floor:
The newly refurbished and fully equipped and functional kitchen (2 dishwashers, large American fridge, 5 gas hob, dining area, Nespresso machine, toaster…) opens on a large double living-dining room. Comfortable and bright, the living room has high ceilings, fireplace, 5 large windows and French doors opening onto a lovely balcony offering a view on the park, the woods and the sea in the distance. With its 3.5m dining table, the dining room can sit up to 14 people.

4 bedrooms are located along a long corridor leading to a small south facing balcony with view on the vegetable garden terraces.
Bedroom 1 is South-East facing, with 2 single beds or one 1.6m king-size bed and has its own old-fashioned bathroom with WC and a cast iron bath tub.
Bedroom 2, also South-East facing, is a very bright and spacious bedroom with French doors opening onto a small private terrace with view on the park, and a 1.6m king-size four-poster bed, an en-suite bathroom with WC, Italian shower and a stunning view on the garden from the bath tub.
Bedroom 3 has a double South-West exposure, 2 single beds or one 1.8m super king-size bed, en-suite bathroom with WC and Italian shower.

On the garden level is a double bedroom, 2 single beds or one 1.8m super king-size bed with direct access to the vegetable garden. En-suite bathroom with WC and Italian shower.

The first floor is ideal for a family who wants to escape from the rest of the group and is seeking privacy. A small corridor leads to two bedrooms. One smaller bedroom with a bunk bed for kids and a second larger bedroom with a 1.6m 4 poster-bed, a South-East double exposure, French doors leading out to a fantastic private rooftop terrace with a view on the sea and the distant Alps mountains.

The house and hospitality were spectacular. We were a group of 10 and absolutely enjoyed our peaceful and spectacular get a way with more than enough space for everyone’s needs. We definitely found our home away from home when we visit the south of France again, which we absolutely will as it is truly special. Thank you to the hosts for the amazing work you do while keeping this gorgeous home looking so pristine. We highly recommend this house for sure. Best wishes to all.

Our family of 13 had a fantastic stay at this stunning villa situated on approximately 5 acres of land. The villa has been meticulously and beautifully renovated and restored by the current owners whose family has owned the villa for about 100 years. The grounds are beautiful and a highlight is the beautiful pool and pool house which we all thoroughly enjoyed, especially our grandchildren. The caretakers, Catherine and Fabrice, were very attentive to our requests. The villa is conveniently located near the Nice airport and there is a great grocery store and several patisseries nearby. The owners created a wonderful book with many suggestions for activities and lots of useful information. We had a memorable vacation in this idyllic villa. Thank you!

Since our originally requested property nearer to the beach was a fraudulent listing (be cautious when selecting property with no references) this was a last minute replacement booking. Could not have been a better choice. Beautiful grounds, large pool and pool house, well equipped kitchen for those who enjoy cooking, and all major bedrooms (except small children’s room with bunks) have updated baths with tub or shower. Property a little hard to find but a real hidden treasure within a short drive of everything the area has to offer. Charming village with good dining options a brisk walk down the hill. The property managers couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. We’ll return! .
