La Bastide Bellevie is a remarkable 17th-century estate that combines rich heritage with contemporary elegance. From the moment you arrive, admire sweeping views across the landscape from its hillside setting within extensive grounds - you can see both Montauroux and Callian villages. Crafted in 1624 and carefully restored with exquisite attention to detail, this historic bastide is now a refined yet relaxed retreat designed for unforgettable gatherings.

Inside, beautifully appointed living and sleeping spaces unfold across three levels. Seven air-conditioned bedrooms accommodate up to 14 guests (a maximum of 12 adults), including five gorgeous bedrooms with king-size doubles and stunning bathrooms alongside two dedicated children's bedrooms. Original stonework, beamed ceilings and carefully selected furnishings sit alongside state-of-the-art entertainment (including Sonos music system and a full Sky package with movie library) and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Outside, the setting is equally generous. Discover manicured lawns, an olive grove and idyllic terraces as well as a 15-metre heated pool (and a smaller children's pool) enjoying uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery. A fully equipped poolside summer kitchen with bar ensure relaxed, sociable days from morning espresso to pre-dinner apéritif. Whether enjoying a long lunch on the oak-shaded dining terrace or an evening game of boules under the lights, every corner invites leisure and connection. As night nears, head to the sunset viewing platform and firepit.

Set on the edge of Montauroux in the French Riviera hinterland, La Bastide Bellevie enjoys an enviable setting. The charming hilltop village of Montauroux is within walking distance with its pretty lanes, old houses and inviting restaurants, or venture a little further to picture-perfect Callian just 2km away.

The shimmering shores of Cannes, Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël are perfect for a wonderful day out, while Lac de Saint-Cassien offers seasonal water sports and lakeside beauty nearby. With the elegant Terre Blanche golf course also just minutes away and Nice airport under an hour’s drive, the location is as practical as it is picturesque.

For families, friends or multi-generational groups seeking a southern French escape with space, style and soul, La Bastide Bellevie offers a setting where memories unfold effortlessly.
