It sits on a hillside amidst pretty landscaped gardens overlooking woodland, with views up to the ancient village of Châteauneuf de Grasse, and just below its sister villa, Villa Jolie. Each villa has been designed to feel private and independent from the other, and larger parties benefit from the possibility of booking both villas together and sharing the whole estate (Villas Jolie and Zen).
The magic is everywhere you look, whether indoors or outdoors - high quality furnishings, meticulous attention to detail, soothing colour schemes, original artwork…everything has received care and attention. The spaces are vast and light and offer plenty of comforts like air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, high quality equipment, a TV den, a wood-fired pizza oven and a built-in barbecue. The gardens are filled with lavender, rosemary, olive trees and fruit trees and even a vegetable garden, providing a stunning frame for the sleek swimming pool with jet stream for serious swimmers.
If you can drag yourself away from all the comfort and beauty, everything here is at your doorstep. The village is a 20 minute away via country lanes. Markets are held in Valbonne and Mouans Sartoux only around 15 minutes drive away, Antibes (with its Aquapark) and Cannes are less than 25km away, the pretty artists village of Saint Paul de Vence is an easy 30-minute drive and Nice is less than 35km away.
Villa Zen is the perfect blend of both natural and man-made beauty with all the best that the French Riviera has to offer.
- The entrance driveway is shared with Villa Jolie
- The village of Chateauneuf-Grasse is only a 15-20 minute walk away along country lanes - please note the route does not have pavements the whole way
