Spacious, Elegant Cote D' Azur Villa in the Hills Above Cannes

From the moment the iron gates opened to this beautiful property nestled atop a scenic valley, we felt welcome. The villa is charming and as you explore it, you realize how vast it truly is. Not only is the main home spacious with a large fireplace and access to a gorgeous pool, a separate guest home with a full kitchen and bath is also available. The grounds are extensive and offer secret gardens and a large field for a pick up game of soccer. The property has been updated with modern fixtures and appliances, which made our stay comfortable. The best part of it all is that the housekeeper is an amazing cook and we were spoiled with home cooked meals that were delicious and a welcomed treat after a long day of exploration and bike riding. Highly recommend this beauty...

We were 8 mostly retired adults living in luxury for a wonderful 8 days. The property is beautifully landscaped. Furnishings are absolutely lovely. Very private location yet accessible for day trips (once you figure out the way in and out of the area!). We took the train to/from Nice, but drove to Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, St. Paul de Vence, and of course, Grasse. We rented both the main house and the guest house which allowed everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom. The nearby food and wine shopping was great to allow gourmet cooking in a very well-appointed kitchen. A little too cool to use the pool but lounging around the pool in the sun was ideal. Owner was great to work with and very responsive to any needs. Housekeeper, Yvonne, was lovely (she only speaks French). Great art work. All in all, a fantastic experience to live the life of a Provence villa resident for at least a short period of time!

We recommend this house highly. It is beautiful and its setting is extraordinary. We are used to renting in France (twice a year for the last 7 years). This is the second time we've rented in the south, the first one being in Aix-en-Provence. We brought over a large contingent - it was my wife's 60th birthday and with four children and their spouses and children plus nannies we were a bit of a crowd. We felt totally comfortable - the house is large and extremely well distributed. Our oldest son, who has the largest family, used the second (smaller) house, which is great. The property is very well kept and the caretaker is responsive and caring. The housekeeper was punctual, professional and reliable. Decoration is high standard. Everything works, including air conditioning everywhere, which for us is a must. Fantastic swimming pool. The owners are helpful and were very correct in their dealings with us. This is a house that is used by them - an elegant couple with very good taste. It is not a house that was built or decorated for rental and therefore needs to be treated as one's own. What this means is that they take good care of the house and expected us to do the same. So, if your group will not take the same care, you should look for another property. Grasse turns out to be an almost perfect location for access to the Cote d'Azur. We used it as our base and parts of our group went from there (to the beach, for dinner or just on walks) to Mougins, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Saint Paul de Vence, even Aix, on a day trip. Bottom line: as the title says: Outstanding Property!
