Planted rooftops echo the surrounding nature, offering no hint of the villa’s grandeur beyond. There is sheltered parking for 3-4 vehicles in the carport. At the villa’s entrance, a monumental double-sized front door-hinged centrally and opening from both sides-welcomes you into an extraordinary home defined by intelligence, sophistication, and understated luxury.
Step into a sunlit open hallway that immediately draws the eye to the panoramic views beyond. The heart of the villa is a spectacular, double-sided living room filled with natural light, framed by expansive glass walls that slide open onto a wraparound terrace. Intelligent features are woven throughout the home for effortless modern living.
The modern functional furniture and airy layout invite relaxation and entertaining. A generous dining area for 8 flows seamlessly into a fully-equipped, high-spec open kitchen, discreetly set apart yet visually connected. Glass walls lead out to both the terrace and a shaded al fresco dining area, perfect for long, lazy Riviera lunches.
Outside, the villa’s large, heated infinity pool is positioned to capture panoramic views of the Côte d’Azur. The pool’s shallow beach area allows loungers to sit partially submerged - a serene spot to sip a drink while taking in the scenery. Adjacent to the pool, a chic outdoor lounge features plush seating and an elegant retractable awning that disappears into the wall when full sun is desired.
Also on this level is an inner hallway with access to the lift and cloakroom.
The villa includes four bedroom suites, all designed for privacy, calm, and comfort.
The master suite, just off the living room, is a spacious, open-plan sanctuary with 200cm bed, a TV lounge area and private terrace. It features a dressing room, an open bath area, and a discreet walk-in shower, 2 sinks and WC.
From the main hallway, a glass-lined stairwell leads down to three additional bedroom suites, each with 180cm beds, TVs, fitted wardrobes and sliding doors allow access to the olive tree planted garden. This level can also be accessed by a lift.
The first bedroom suite has an en-suite with a cascade shower, sink, and WC. This bedroom also leads directly into the villa’s private Spa, which can be accessed by all the guests without impacting on the privacy of the bedroom suite. The Spa is a tranquil, light-filled retreat that includes a jacuzzi with garden views, hammam, sauna, sophisticated table shower room, a meditation area and an indoor walking machine.

About the area
Vence, a picturesque town nestled in the hills of the Côte d'Azur in France, is a destination that offers a serene escape from the bustling Riviera coastline while still providing the quintessential charm of the French countryside. This medieval town, with its well-preserved architecture and historic allure, is a haven for those seeking cultural enrichment, artistic inspiration, and natural beauty.
The historic center of Vence, encircled by its ancient ramparts, is a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, inviting squares, and beautifully restored stone houses. Visitors can explore the Cathedral of Notre Dame de la Nativité, which dates back to the 4th century and houses remarkable works of art, including a mosaic by Marc Chagall.
Art enthusiasts will find Vence particularly enchanting, as the town has long been a magnet for artists. The Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Henri Matisse, is a testament to the town's artistic heritage. This small chapel, with its vividly colored stained-glass windows and simple yet striking interior, is one of the region's most precious cultural treasures.
The town's market, held in the grand Place du Grand Jardin, is a lively affair where locals and visitors alike can sample regional produce, artisanal cheeses, and other Provençal specialties. The market is not only a feast for the palate but also a colorful tableau of local life and traditions.
Surrounding Vence, the natural landscape offers a variety of outdoor activities. The nearby Baou de Saint-Jeannet and Baou de la Gaude are popular spots for hiking and rock climbing, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding hills. For a more leisurely experience, the town's public gardens, such as the Jardin de la Villa Le Rêve, provide a peaceful setting for a stroll or a picnic.
Vence also serves as an excellent base for exploring the wider region. The town is just a short drive from the glamorous cities of Nice and Cannes, as well as the perfume capital of Grasse and the artisanal pottery village of Vallauris.
In essence, Vence is a destination that captivates with its historical depth, artistic legacy, and Provençal charm. It's a place where the past and present merge seamlessly, offering visitors a rich tapestry of experiences that are both relaxing and stimulating. Whether you're wandering through ancient streets, admiring art, or enjoying the natural splendor of the French Riviera hinterland, Vence is a place that promises to leave a lasting impression.
