Description
Modern, south-facing villa on one level. Air con throughout, all bedrooms ensuite, enclosed garden with private pool. Vence 2km, Nice 23km.
Modern villa built on one level and comfortably accommodating up to six people. The property has three ensuite bedrooms, a gorgeous private pool with a spacious south-facing terrace, enclosed garden and lovely views over the rolling Cote d’Azur countryside. The property is also fully air conditioned. This is a perfect holiday home to relax in and a great base to visit the best of what the French Riviera has to offer.
Villa Castagniers is set in a peaceful and rural area on the edge of Vence and within walking distance of the village centre (approximately 20-25 minutes). With a good choice of cafés and restaurants and some breath-taking views of the surrounding mountains and St Paul de Vence, it is well worth the walk.
While several artists lived in nearby St Paul de Vence (Picasso, Dufy, Modigliani) other artists lived in the slightly lesser-known village of Vence just 5km away. Vence attracted artists such as Matisse to whom we owe the Chapelle du Rosaire, a truly unique work of art. Chagall also lived both in Vence then in Saint Paul de Vence. All these artists have museums dedicated to their arts in Nice or Antibes.
The Mediterranean Sea and beaches can be reached in less than 30 minutes’ drive and there is a whole range of exciting coastal resorts to visit such as Nice and Antibes, both about 30-40 minutes away. Not to forget numerous nearby villages like St Paul de Vence, Tourettes sur Loup or Gourdon all with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Monaco, Menton and the Italian border are all under an hours’ drive.
