The well-equipped kitchen has everything you may need and there is an outdoor kitchen and gas barbecue for keen cooks to prepare a feast for their guests.
There are six bedrooms on the ground and first floors, styled with simplicity and pretty fabrics, all of them en-suite with colourful bath or shower rooms. The three downstairs rooms have French doors opening onto the pool terraces or gardens, and two of the bedrooms on the first floor have their own terrace, ideal for a glass of good wine brought back from one of the area's many vineyards.
The curved salt-water swimming pool is going to be popular with all ages with its magnificent features such as a Jacuzzi, waterfall and a wave and jet machine. Lazy days can be spent having fun in the swimming pool whilst sun worshippers soak up the rays from the poolside loungers or relax on the outdoor chairs. There is table tennis and badminton in the garden and a lovely spacious lawn area, wonderful for family games or shady picnics under the palm tree.
A short stroll (via country roads) will take you to Val de Mougins where you will find a good choice of local shops and restaurants, ideal for your everyday groceries or a quick meal out.

Region
Despite being renowned for its annual international film festival in May at the iconic Palais des Festivals, Cannes is not just a glamourous destination for the rich and famous. The attractive Côte d’Azur town is loved all year round for its palm-fringed beaches, upmarket shopping opportunities and wonderful restaurants as well as a certain French Riviera charm.
Stroll along Cannes’ iconic La Croisette boulevard following the footsteps of stars from years gone by as you admire prestigious hotels, luxurious boutiques and private beach clubs. Stop off for a cocktail as the sun sets and admire the twinkling lights across the bay. Even at night, La Croisette remains the vibrant heart of this bustling town.
Shop to your heart’s delight along the streets of the Carré d’Or district – come across hundreds of well-known stores along Rue d’Antibes. At the end of a busy day there’s a vast choice of restaurants to suit every taste and budget from authentic bistros spilling out on to the street to Michelin starred establishments.
Soak up the historic side of Cannes as you explore Le Suquet quarter’s medieval lanes passing little shops, atmospheric restaurants, flower-filled balconies and old fishermen’s houses. Climb to the top of the hill by Église Notre-Dame d'Espérance for stunning views of the harbour, followed by a visit to Château de la Castre and its popular museum. This part of Cannes is also home to the colourful Marché Forville showcasing the very best gourmet delights of Cannes and beyond.
Escape the crowds as you venture to Croix Des Gardes natural park with forest walking routes, botanical plants and glorious views across to the Lérins Islands. Look out for some fantastic boat trips from Cannes’ marina from whale and dolphin-watching excursions to family adventures on board a chartered yacht, sight-seeing ferries and romantic sun-set cruises.
Beyond the city centre, visit the ceramic studios and National Picasso Museum in Vallauris, follow Picasso’s footsteps in the enchanting hilltop village of Mougins (loved for its galleries and gastronomy) and appreciate the artistic vibe of Biot with beautiful views of the French Riviera. Chic Juan-les-Pins, so loved by Parisians in the summer, is home to beachside restaurants and more watersports whilst keen walkers will adore the incredible coastal trail around Cap d’Antibes.
In the other direction is the charming seaside village of Théoule-sur-Mer, backed by the dramatic Esterel massif, another paradise for hikers. By staying in one of our collection of handpicked rentals in Cannes you can experience all of this and more during your time on the glistening Côte d’Azur.
