Set in a private family estate featuring the guests' villa and a 13th century fortress next to it, Bastide des Remparts is a unique and historical home in a privileged position on the French Riviera with wonderful views over the ancient trees stretching down towards the sea and just half an hour from Nice.
A unique paradise, the family 8.5 hectare estate is one of the Côte d’Azur’s oldest and most beautiful properties, surrounded by captivating landscapes and glorious gardens were you can get lost for hours discovering it's hundreds of palm trees, ancient olive trees and colourful flowers.
The bastide dates back to 1836 and enjoys a spectacular hilltop location where you can look out towards the Mediterranean as far as Cap d’Antibes and Cap Ferrat. Inside you will find an elegant home which has been beautifully refurbished to provide seven delightful bedrooms, decorated and furnished with refined taste and character throughout. Downstairs the living and dining rooms have French doors opening up to Provençal gardens and there are wonderful spaces to relax outside including a truly remarkable al-fresco dining area where you can feast with family and friends in the shade of a 250-year old oak tree.
Follow the path through the gardens down to the inviting, large swimming pool where you can cool off from the warm summer sun or laze on the poolside terrace and pool house with mesmerising views of the surrounding gardens and sea.
Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary case of Crus Classés wine. You may also arrange a private tour of the estate's 13th century fortress and gardens whilst special drink receptions or dinners can be set up on the ramparts for a memorable event. You have full access to the château’s gardens and the ramparts, which is just a 1-minute walk from the villa.
The estate is part of a charming hilltop village, Villeneuve Loubet, where you will find flower filled lanes, restaurants, a bakery and a butcher as well as a Provençal market twice a week. From the estate’s gate you can follow a 3km path down the hill through the woods to reach the beaches of Villeneuve Loubet and a seaside resort with family-friendly activities, restaurants, watersports and a marina.
Perfectly placed between Cannes and Nice, the Côte d’Azur’s highlights are all within easy reach, from the seaside charm of Cagnes-sur-Mer and Antibes to the picturesque hilltop villages of St Paul de Vence and perfume-filled Grasse. Venture inland towards the dramatic Gorges du Loup for wild swimming spots and scenic hiking, or visit the beautiful village of Gourdon for breathtaking views across the French Riviera.
- The English-speaking gardener (and his well-behaved dogs) lives on the estate and he will welcome you on arrival. The dogs can be kept in a fenced field if required by guests (on request).
- A weekly tour of the château, ramparts and garden is offered by the Tourist Office to visitors to the region but they use a separate entrance and will not be shown the area near the villa or the swimming pool.
- Wi-Fi is only available in the ground floor living room.
- Air-conditioning is featured in the seven bedrooms only.
