Note: The villa is built on a sloping site, so all pedestrian access to different levels between the villa and guest house, car park, swimming pool, gardens and all terraces is stepped. The outdoor terrace is shaded with pine trees and edged with jasmine, while lawns are equipped with sun loungers and dotted with palm trees, providing shade. A gated swimming pool can be heated upon request; close to it, there is a pétanque court and terraces of olive orchard. The property offers secure on-site private parking for 3 cars.

Among the squares, shops, and cafes of Vence, you will find a jewel of contemporary art and architecture. It was here that the painter Matisse designed and constructed his famous chapel, the Chapelle du Rosaire, with its wonderful, simple lines and motif-stained-glass windows. The villa is a 10-minute walk from the centre of Vence and 30 minutes from Nice airport and the beaches. It is situated on a lightly residential road on the outskirts of the town, with the occasional passing car audible from the upper terrace.
