Villa Fontaine

In a blissfully countryside setting, surrounded by olive groves, this peacefully positioned villa has been lovingly restored to create a house of character, designed with elegant understatement, and fitted, unobtrusively, with contemporary facilities. With WiFi throughout, the villa has four tastefully furnished bedrooms, three with doors to the garden or a private upper terrace, and all with air conditioning and a stylish en suite bath or shower room. The kitchen, well equipped with modern appliances, opens out to an al fresco dining and barbecue patio, and adjoins an open-plan living / dining room with cool décor, comfy sofas and a big open fireplace.

A separate snug is equipped with large-screen satellite TV, and, for outdoor idling, a covered terrace is comfortably furnished in cushioned rattan. The villa nestles in gently sloping gardens of just over 1.2 acres of lawns and lavender, mulberry and olive trees, climbing roses and flowering shrubs, with table football on the lawn, and a saline treated swimming pool set in a south facing terrace. Shops and restaurants in medieval Valbonne are just 1.7km away, and the beaches of Antibes and Cannes are a 25km/15 minute drive.
