This stunning villa (400 sq. m) is located in the pretty hillside village of Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. The Duke of Valance built this property for his mistress in 1910. During World War II, the villa was seized by the Germans and used as a lookout point due to the home’s location, which allowed them to see everything near and far in the surrounding areas. The current owners have thoroughly renovated this property to the highest of standards, offering new, contemporary appliances while still preserving the villa’s character and history.
Some of the villa’s authentic doors and the fireplace were restored and now add an elegant original charm. The property features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an office, a very large sitting area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious dining area. The grounds are generous and well-kept, with scented lemon trees, lavender, palm trees, and mature eucalyptus.
There is a big heated pool and a shaded pool house, and every room boasts magnificent 180° sea and hillside views (plot size 5.000 sqm). The large gravel entry offers room to park up to 4 cars. The home is within a short drive to the center of Grasse and nearby villages and offers easy access to the coast. This modern villa boasts a tranquil and sumptuous setting with wonderful views over the bay of Cannes and the surrounding hills and amazing pool and terraces.
The ground level features an open living plan with a spacious kitchen, living space, and dining area with high ceilings throughout. The fully fitted modern kitchen (fridge/freezer, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave, coffee machine, juicer, blender, food processor, wine fridge, hob, oven) is large and gives direct access to the main wraparound terrace and the pool area. The office can be made into a twin room for 2 kids. The villa benefits from many outdoor lounge and dining areas for guests to relax. The home is stylishly decorated and furnished, providing an eclectic yet cozy and refined setting, designed with families in mind.
All three bedrooms are located on the first level and feature double beds and access to a shared balcony. The master bedroom boasts a chic bathroom with a double vanity, bath, and shower, while the other two bedrooms have shower rooms.
The interior spaces are flooded with natural sunlight due to the wide windows throughout. With the bedrooms, kitchen, dining, and living areas opening onto the gardens and various terraces and balconies, this chic residence really gives guests the chance to equally enjoy both indoors and outdoors. The large outdoor dining area off the kitchen is a lovely space for al fresco dining both night and day. Besides, all of the bedrooms open onto a terrace or a balcony.
