Close to the enchanting village of St Paul de Vence, this former bergerie has been sensitively converted into an attractive holiday home sleeping 12 guests across six bedrooms and bathrooms. The location is wonderful being so close to the beaches of the French Riviera and within half an hour of Nice, Antibes and Cannes.
Relax in the light-filled interiors of Bergerie Grege whether sitting back in the inviting salon, enjoying your morning coffee in the contemporary kitchen-diner or resting in one of the six double bedrooms including an impressive master bedroom downstairs and a pretty en suite double on the first-floor with its own private terrace.
Open the salon’s French windows to the al-fresco dining terrace for meals overlooking the swimming pool below, then retire to one of the outdoor lounges to enjoy a bottle of Côtes de Provence (wine-lovers note Château de Bellet is only half an hour away). The glorious swimming pool is perfect for long summer days whilst the pretty garden (with boules) is another delightful corner of Bergerie Grege’s outdoor grounds.
As the crow flies, artistic St Paul de Vence is only 2km away where you can spend hours pottering around the medieval lanes stopping off at cafes or art studios, following the footsteps of great writers and artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Chagall, many of whom used to gather at La Colombe d'Or hotel-restaurant. Take time to visit Fondation Maeght just outside the village, home to impressive art exhibitions and the Joan Miró sculpture garden.
Vence is another artistic gem just a short drive away or venture south to stroll along Cagnes-sur-Mer’s promenade and enjoy a wealth of summer watersports. The grand city of Nice is a lovely day out, as are the glorious beaches around Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cap d’Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Cannes.
Meanwhile, explore the glistening French Riviera by boat or admire the Côte d’Azur hinterland as you walk, cycle or horse-ride through the beautiful landscapes of olive groves, pines, cypresses, chestnut trees, vines and rivers, an absolute paradise for keen hikers and nature lovers.
