About the home

This delightful, Provencal-style one bedroom gîte near Grasse benefits from a lovely large swimming pool and is set within beautiful gardens with views down to the sea. It’s attached to the side of the owner’s home, who are a charming couple, discreetly on hand to help you with any aspect of your holiday.

Approximately 60 sq metres in size, the accommodation comprises a bright, sunny living room, a well-equipped kitchen area, one double bedroom, one shower room, large terrace, large swimming pool, beautifully landscaped gardens and parking for two cars.

It’s in a quiet location near to the old village of Plascassier, and not far from the larger village of Mouans-Sartoux or the town of Grasse.

The owners are very hospitable and have paid very good attention to detail. A welcome pack of essentials like milk, orange juice, coffee, wine and water await you on arrival.

Prices quoted are based on an occupancy of 2 adults; a supplement applies for additional people, up to a maximum of 4 – please ask for details.

This property would be ideal for 2-4 people looking for well-appointed accommodation with a private pool and easy access to explore the local area.

Sunny terrace & gardens

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region

Sightseeing is endless; the nearest places of interest are the perfumeries of Grasse, Marineland at Antibes, the Festival of Cannes, the glass-makers at Biot, the potteries of Vallauris, the picturesque villages of Valbonne and Mougins and of course the beautiful countryside all around.

Other entertainment includes the beach, the casinos & night-life of Cannes, boat trips, cinemas, wine tasting, or just good old relaxing by the pool!

The Valbonne / Plascassier area

Local shops, a boulangerie, restaurants and a supermarket can be found just 500 metres away in the lovely old village of Plascassier. A wider range of facilities and restaurants can also be found nearby in the larger village of Mouans-Sartoux.

Local markets are held in Mouans-Sartoux every Tuesday and Thursday mornings and in Valbonne on a Friday morning.

Sporting activities in the area are abundant– there is golf, tennis and horse riding and as you are in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes, walking and cycling are also very popular.

Beaches can be found not too far away in Cannes and Antibes, approximately 15 km.

The ski stations of Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are approximately 1 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!

Getting around; there is a bus stop approximately 400 metres away from the gite and the train station of Mouans-Sartoux is approx 5km. The owner however insists that a car is essential from here.
