Hacienda

Just 4km from the wide sands and water sports of Cagnes-sur-Mer, this peacefully placed family villa sits almost equidistant between Nice and Antibes. On the rocky hillside just above the house, the medieval village of St-Paul-de-Vence boasts marvellous views to the mountains and the Med, and is a magnet for artists who come for its clarity of light and for the countless galleries among its boutiques and bistros. The villa itself is a haven of relaxation, built in typical hacienda-style, with gated loggia terraces, large airy rooms, and lots of wrought iron in its décor. With all mod cons from a well-equipped kitchen to WiFi and plasma screen TV, the villa is also carefully planned for comfort in the cooler months, with a cosy seating area beside an open fire. A very contemporary living room forms the hub of the house, furnished in black and burnt orange, and looking out to flat lawned gardens, beautifully planted for colour and tree shade, and focused on a fabulous swimming pool. A floodlit boules pitch complements a games room with table tennis and table football. Hacienda is a twenty minute stroll from local shops in La Colle-sur-Loup.
