Overview
Escape to the charming hills of the French Riviera, where you can kick back and relax at this lovely French three-bedroom property. Sat amidst the rural landscape, this beautiful house offers an idyll with a private pool, table tennis, and three stunning terraces.
Perched on the hills, this property boasts panoramic views that stretch from the valley up to the sea. Surrounded by forty four olive trees, guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region, with the picturesque Cabris village and lake providing a captivating backdrop.
The heart of the home lies on the main floor, where the spacious and open-planned design makes for a comfortable and sociable stay. The living room seamlessly flows into the dining space, complemented by an open-plan fully equipped kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, offering wonderful views of the surrounding landscape.

A shared shower room and French windows leading to terraces ensure a peaceful night's sleep and easy access to outdoor relaxation areas.
The property holds three terrace areas, each offering something different including a covered space, a shaded area at the rear of the house and a front terrace offering spectacular views. Dive into your own private pool and let your cares drift away over the hilltops in this peaceful, idyllic spot.
Just a leisurely stroll away lies the quaint village of Spéracédes, where guests can explore several restaurants, a bar and a small boulangerie to get morning croissants. For those seeking more excitement, the vibrant city of Grasse and the sun-kissed beaches of Cannes are only a short drive away, offering endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.

Kids
Best Suited For: TeensFamilies are welcome at Belle Amie – due to the steps and terraced grounds, it is best suited to older children. It’s lovely to be able to stroll to the local village with its café-restaurant and tabac.
If visiting nearby Grasse, look out for the carrousel in the French school holidays and there is a tourist road train that tours the historic town. Just outside Grasse, Riviera Nature is a great spot for tree-top adventures and zip lines with magnificent vistas of the French Riviera whilst there is also paint-balling within a short drive. Not to mention gorgeous walks and more challenging hikes through the Cote d’Azur hinterland.
Lac de Saint-Cassien is a popular place for families thanks to its summer water-based activities (pedaloes, canoeing, wind surfing, inflatable water courses and more) alongside walking/mountain biking trails and other outdoor adventures. There are of course many watersports in and around the French Riviera alongside boat excursions from Cannes, Juan-les-Pins and Antibes.
Just north of Antibes, a variety of family attractions include Marineland, Antibes Land Park, Adventure Golf, Aquasplash water park and Pirate’s Island. Close to Villeneuve-Loubet, Le Village des Fous and Le Bois des Lutins are two other much-loved family days out.
