Amidst verdant hillside gardens and olive groves, a short distance from the quaint old town of Peymeinade lies the idyllic Manoir Clement - an atmospheric family holiday home with a heated private swimming pool offering unique views of the surrounding valleys.
Set in 3000sqm of beautiful well-maintained grounds, the house enjoys panoramic views of the surrounding hills towards Mandelieu. Nineteen steps lead down to the well-secured swimming pool area with its pool house equipped with a summer kitchen and WC. There is an ample poolside terrace and various other terraces on different levels which allow for privacy for a large group. To the front of the house is a covered terrace just outside the kitchen, ideal for all meals, overlooking a lovely lawned space with views. There is also a gate by the front lawn as an precaution for small children. To the right of the house is a full-size floodlit boules pitch and another terrace; from here you can climb up to further levels with terraces both equipped with tables and parasols.
This is a much loved property offering traditionally stylish and cosy spaces inside and many tranquil terraces outside, dotted with picturesque blossoms, shrubs and lawns. The natural beauty that surrounds the property means guests will want to spend plenty of time out on the terraces using the BBQ or playing table tennis.
Manoir Clement is perfectly located just a half hour from the coast, and there are many pretty villages to be discovered in the surrounding mountains. The glamour of the beach towns of Cannes and Antibes are a must see, and Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, is within ten minutes’ drive.

Outstanding Landscapes
Outdoor Pursuit & Activities
Close to picturesque hill towns as well as many of the Cote d'Azur's fashionable coastal towns such as Cannes, Antibes, Nice, and La Napoule. The Italian border is about 45 minutes to an hour away by scenic route by train or car; also there are several unspoilt islands to visit by ferry from Cannes as well as crossing the bay to St Tropez. Lac St Casien is a 20 minute drive with small boats for hire and several picnic areas and cafes.
It is an idyllic spot with so many things to do [sailing, hiking, golf, galleries,etc], yet you can also stay happily at the villa with its many restful attractions without wanting to go anywhere else.
Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Saint-Tropez each have a magnetic atmosphere of their own, a frenetic glamour and a parade of beautiful people partying until dawn. Of course, the exultation of hobnobbing with the wealthy on immaculate private hotel beaches, backed by classy cafes under canvas, may be tempered by the subsequent arrival of an account that looks as if it has at least two noughts too many.
The Riviera in fact has plenty of public beaches which are just as, if not more, suitable for families, while a street or two behind the film set façade it is easy to find restaurants that are better value than almost anything back home. On any excursion to the coast by car however, arrive and depart early, to avoid the traffic jams that sometimes build up in high season later in the day. Behind this exotic shop window lies the ‘arrière pays’, or back-country, within easy reach of the Côte-d’Azur but far less frenetic. Some of the most popular places – Eze, Grasse, Mougins and St Paul-de-Vence – attract large numbers of summer visitors; but only a kilometer or two away are other equally delightful towns and villages, untouched by the mass tourist market. Their ancient streets have breathtaking, distant views of the sea, from houses hugging deep gorges or sheltered by rugged mountain outcrops. Provençal life continues here undisturbed and unthreatened, at its own singular pace.
The Region
Fall in love with Grasse and its surrounding villages as you experience the Côte d’Azur hinterland staying in one of our handpicked villa rentals in and around Grasse. Pass lavender, jasmine, roses and flower farms as you drive into the hills of the Provence-Alpes-Maritime – no wonder Grasse is known as the ‘perfume capital of France’.
As well as the Museé International de la Parfumerie, visit the perfume houses of Galimard, Molinard and Fragonard for guided tours and even perfume-making workshops. Elsewhere, explore the historic winding lanes and come across artisan shops, café terraces and the impressive Rubens frescoes inside Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Puy de Grasse. There’s a lovely daily flower market at Place aux Aires whilst Place aux Herbes hosts the larger twice-weekly market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning.
A short drive from Grasse, encounter a wealth of picture-perfect villages and beautiful landscapes for walking, hiking, horse-riding and cycling. The perched village of Cabris is especially bucolic with incredible vistas over the Tanneron forest and Lac de Saint-Cassien. There are more glorious views from the small village of Spéracèdes with its pastel-coloured houses and olive trees.
Discover century-old hiking trails through the Siagne valley as well as pretty villages, ancient bridges and idyllic swimming spots. Visit the illuminated caves of stalagmites and stalactites just outside Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne before pottering around the authentic village admiring its fountains, café terraces and inviting food shops showcasing goats cheese, honey, olive oil and other products of the region.
South of Grasse, drive to the charming hilltop village of Opio, also famed for its olive oil, and don’t miss the Friday morning market in Valbonne, a very charming town dating back to the 16th century, home to a wonderful town square with pavement cafes and restaurants.
Golf lovers have a great choice of courses in the region including Golf du Claux Amic, once a 17th century hunting estate with stunning views and Golf Grande Bastide just south of Opio as well as prestigious courses close to Mougins and Cannes. As well as endless hiking trails across Grasse’s surroundings, other activities include a range of land and water-based activities in and around Lac de Saint-Cassien, only 15km from Grasse, as well as tree-top adventures and zip-lines with French Riviera views at Riviera Nature just north of the town.
