Everyone's ideal of a magical life in Provençe.
An imposing stone villa in the heart of an area famous for the jasmine, roses, orange trees and violets it grows for the perfumeries of Grasse, but less than an hour from the glitter of the Cote d'Azur.
Picturesque Provençal villages all around, from the winding streets of ancient Biot to Mougins, with its dazzling hill-top view of the whole Bay of Cannes.
A beautifully restored interior, with a stunning glazed dining room, a big French stone fireplace, terracotta floors and a galleried landing.
Terraced and wilderness gardens with cherry and olive trees, a huge pool, and a traditional Provençal outdoor kitchen with its own wood-burning oven.
The thrills and temptations of St Tropez, Cannes and Monaco on the coast; the colours and scents of the Provençal landscape inland.
