Cosmic Villas is proud to bring this Scandi design meets Provençal beauty.

The terraces and gardens are in an elevated location with breathtaking views that extend as far as the French Riviera shoreline and the captivating Massif de l'Esterel.

Scandi design meets Provençal beauty in this glorious retreat with sweeping views of the Côte d'Azur and its hinterland, just a short drive from the artistic town of Vence.

In an elevated setting, the vistas from the terraces and gardens are spectacular, reaching as far as the French Riviera coastline as well as the mesmerising Massif de l'Esterel. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the lower terrace or evening aperitifs by the swimming pool, the landscapes will take your breath away. The sunsets over the mountains are especially wonderful on warm summer evenings.

Mediterranean gardens, century old trees, splendid lawns and beautiful terraces make the outdoor space a delight – the pièce de résistance being the glittering heated swimming pool with a separate area for children. There’s always a pretty spot to find for a serene glass of local rosé as well as high-end outdoor furnishings for sociable moments. Create special memories feasting with family and friends by candlelight on the covered patio with its summer kitchen and wood burning fire.

Inside is just as impressive – the wood-beamed living room features plush sofas, Apple TV and a projector screen whilst the Moroccan lounge adds yet more character and style to this newly renovated abode. The gorgeous kitchen and handsome dining room are also impressive, as are the seven individually styled bedrooms with high-quality Swedish beds, en suite bathrooms and terraces. A fitness room is another added luxury in this magnificent home.

With an exclusive setting on a mountainside, it’s a short drive down the hill to the historic market town of Vence, famed for its artistic associations with Matisse – the spiritual Chapelle du Rosaire is just 3km away. This charming town is a joy to explore with its cobbled lanes, pretty churches, idyllic squares and vaulted archways as well as cafes and restaurants with lovely terraces. The flower, fruit and vegetable market can be found every morning whilst larger markets are held twice a week.

The Wednesday morning market in nearby St Paul de Vence is another wonderful experience whilst art-lovers must visit the Fondation Maeght, just a 15-minute drive away. Other fantastic places to visit include the perfumeries of Grasse, the museums and shops of Nice and of course the fine beaches of the French Riviera around Cagnes-sur-Mer, Villeneuve-Loubet and beyond.

Both Antibes and Monaco can also be reached in under an hour or head further into the mountains to Gourdon and Saut du Loup for waterfalls, rock pools and more stunning scenery of this incredible part of southern France.
