Commanding an enviable south-facing position above the Bay of Cannes, Bastide Splendide is a remarkable mix of traditional French architecture and clean, modern, Scandinavian-inspired design. The property is defined by its far-reaching vistas; from the sun-drenched terraces, the eye travels across 50km of glittering coastline, taking in the Italian Alps to the east and the dramatic L’Esterel mountains to the west.

The heart of the home is the open-plan living area where modern art and a grand stone fireplace create an atmosphere of effortless style. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the sleek kitchen, finished with black granite and professional-grade appliances, which opens directly onto a terrace, the perfect spot for morning coffee and fresh croissants while watching the sea. The house is designed with a natural flow that creates a warm, inviting energy, with the ground-floor dining and living spaces spilling out onto a broad terrace for starlit evening meals.

On the first floor, five bedrooms offer a quiet sanctuary for up to twelve guests. Each room enjoys its own modern en suite and a view of the Mediterranean, while the master suite boasts a private balcony for soaking in the scenery.

Outside, the manicured lawns and Mediterranean gardens provide a sense of seclusion. Active groups can enjoy the private tennis court, while the large swimming pool, complete with built-in steps, is served by a dedicated outdoor kitchen and bar area for long, social afternoons. Despite its peaceful setting, the bastide is superbly located; the boutiques and restaurants of Vence are just over 2km away, and the vibrant energy of Nice and Cannes is within an easy drive.
