• Property in seasonal rental Vence - Ara, French Riviera, France

Magnificent, master "demeure" set on the outskirts of the town

A warm welcome to this beautifully restored period villa set in the Ara quarter of the medieval town of Vence.

Set on the outskirts of the town, the villa sits some 300m above the dazzling coastal fringe of the French Riviera.

The property offers an exceptional location between the heat of the coastal plain and the comparative coolness of the foothills to the southern Alps.

Elevated above the mediterranean forest of the Malvan Valley with distant views of the sea, the exploration of dramatic landscapes and the vibrant cultural immersion offered by the cities, towns and villages around are all within reach of the guests.

The villa is intentionally retro with a lived-in, peaceful atmosphere for relaxed living and restorative contemplation. It is a creative place framed within the lushness of the tropical gardens and the interface of olive grove with pine forest beyond.

It can accomodate up to 12 people split between an independent annex (4 people self contained with kitchen/breakfast room, 2 bedrooms + lounge) and the main villa (8 people, 4 bedrooms, lounge, dining room, library, study and kitchen )
