About the villa

Set amid terraced lawned gardens, luxuriant with trees and shrubs, and including a little olive grove and a badminton lawn, the very peaceful Villa Nicole is perfectly leisurely. In two adjacent buildings, just metres apart, the villa offers extra privacy for guests with accommodation divided between the spacious main house and its smaller guest cottage. In the main house, where tradition and modernity are intertwined, a contemporary and well-equipped kitchen is semi-open to the bright, informal sitting /dining room, with beautiful beams, an open fireplace, a piano and doors to the garden; and the roomy master suite is one of three charming bedrooms.

Outside, the length of the house is hemmed by a broad terrace, shaded with a huge oak tree and vines, with many different furnished areas for dining and relaxing, and overlooking the heated swimming pool. With its own living room, country style kitchen/diner, and two compact bedrooms, the guest cottage opens out to a private and pretty courtyard, complete with loungers, dining area and a plunge pool. The accommodation is also all on one level which has been appreciated by those with limited mobility. Whilst enjoying great privacy, the villa is within walking distance of a handful of restaurants and a very short drive from a shopping centre. The villa is also just 2.5km from restaurants in Opio, within 7km of Grasse and Cannes, and 20km from the sands at Antibes.
