This modern 3 bedroom Provencal-style villa with large heated pool and beautiful gardens is set in a perfectly tranquil location, for a sunny and relaxing holiday. Within a private domain of just 10 detached houses it’s located about 1.5km from the shops and restaurants at Saint Jacques and a short drive from the perfumery town of Grasse.
Built in 2003 on a single-storey, the villa comprises large living/dining room, kitchen, utility, three good bedrooms, three bathrooms, covered terraces, beautifully landscaped gardens, heated swimming pool and secure parking for up to 4 cars. Thick walls and window shutters help keep it cool in summer and underfloor heating toasty throughout in winter.
In an elevated position the gardens have views down towards Cannes, where you'll find lovely sandy beaches and many leisure activities like golf, water sports, cycling, jogging - and of course all that shopping and dining!
It has a maximum occupancy of six (children only if they can swim please) and would be perfect for those wanting a comfortable base for relaxing, but close to the coast and villages.
