Overview
Take in the panoramic views towards Cap d’Antibes whether you are drinking chilled rosé on the elegant terrace or sipping coffee beneath the veranda’s bougainvillea. In the heights of Vallauris, a short drive from the beaches of Cannes and Juan-les-Pins, Villa Bleu De Ciel is a gorgeous French Riviera villa that guests will instantly fall in love with.
Wander down the steps to the beautiful swimming pool and its terrace with sumptuous loungers and summer flowers, then follow the path to the pool house and its sauna. At the end of the garden below, find a tranquil spot to relax on the lawns with cacti, cypresses, pines and palm trees dotted across the grounds. Making the most of the Weber barbecue and the brilliantly equipped kitchen, serve feasts on the main terrace with those magnificent vistas before heading to the flood-lit pétanque court framed by pink oleander.
Inside, the air-conditioned villa is just as attractive with graceful interiors and hues of blue to blend in with the distant Mediterranean scenery. The six bedrooms are simply styled with pretty touches adding warmth and we love some of the bold tiles in the five bath or shower rooms. The main villa sleeps eight across four doubles whilst a separate 2-bedroom apartment offers extra space, allowing up to twelve guests to comfortably stay at Villa Bleu De Ciel.
You can reach the heart of Vallauris within 1.5km, home to cafes, shops, restaurants, ceramic studios and the Musée National Pablo Picasso. A little further away is the seaside resort of Golfe-Juan, 3.5km by car, or you may prefer to head straight to the fantastic beaches around Juan-les-Pins or Cannes. Partake in a range of watersports, hop on boat trips, and enjoy lunch in beachside restaurants in this chic and picturesque part of the Côte d'Azur.
Explore the atmospheric old town of Antibes, discover the beauty of Cap d’Antibes and venture further into the hills to visit picture-perfect hilltop villages including Mougins and Biot. Pick up all sorts of wonderful local food at vibrant Provençal markets such as Valbonne, hike by woodland, rivers and olive groves, then play golf in prestigious surroundings to truly appreciate the natural diversity of this glorious region.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Bleu De CielIn the residential heights of Vallauris, around 1.5km from the heart of this handsome town, Villa Bleu De Ciel enjoys a prime position with stunning French Riviera views, a short drive to Cannes, Antibes and the glorious beaches of Juan-les-Pins.
Vallauris is an atmospheric town with bustling restaurants and cafes, shops and ceramic studios. Once the home of Pablo Picasso, look out for street-art across the town which has been inspired by the famous painter and visit the highly regarded Musée National Pablo Picasso. It’s just a short drive down to the coast at Golfe-Juan, a seaside resort with restaurants, a marina, sandy beaches and boat hire opportunities.
Soak up the glamour of Cannes as you stroll along La Croisette boulevard, only 7km away. As well as the city’s boutiques, high-end restaurants and bars, you can also experience the charm of its old quarter, Le Suquet, enjoy the vibrant Marché Forville and take a boat tour from its marina. Not to mention Cannes’ palm-fringed beaches and watersports.
The chic resort of Juan-les-Pins (6km) is another great spot for its French Riviera beaches as well as a range of water-based activities, boat trips and beachside restaurants. Continue on to explore the old town in Antibes (7km) with its maze of narrow lanes, historic ramparts and pretty restaurants whilst Cap d’Antibes offers magnificent coastal walking trails and picturesque bays.
Other attractions on the French Riviera include the grand city of Nice (26km) and the impressive municipality of Monaco (48km). Then there’s the outstanding natural beauty of Cap-Ferrat, the charm of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the views from the medieval village of Èze.
Heading inland towards the Côte d'Azur hinterland, follow Picasso’s footsteps in Mougins (9km), a flower-filled village with a reputation for its art and gastronomy, and visit the historic town of Valbonne (13km) on a Friday morning for its wonderful market. The perfume capital of France, Grasse (20km), can also be visited in a day, passing olive groves, rolling hills and woodland, or stay closer to home and enjoy lunch out in hilltop Biot (11km) with its sensational views of the French Riviera coastline.

Region
Despite being renowned for its annual international film festival in May at the iconic Palais des Festivals, Cannes is not just a glamourous destination for the rich and famous. The attractive Côte d’Azur town is loved all year round for its palm-fringed beaches, upmarket shopping opportunities and wonderful restaurants as well as a certain French Riviera charm.
Stroll along Cannes’ iconic La Croisette boulevard following the footsteps of stars from years gone by as you admire prestigious hotels, luxurious boutiques and private beach clubs. Stop off for a cocktail as the sun sets and admire the twinkling lights across the bay. Even at night, La Croisette remains the vibrant heart of this bustling town.
Shop to your heart’s delight along the streets of the Carré d’Or district – come across hundreds of well-known stores along Rue d’Antibes. At the end of a busy day there’s a vast choice of restaurants to suit every taste and budget from authentic bistros spilling out on to the street to Michelin starred establishments.
Soak up the historic side of Cannes as you explore Le Suquet quarter’s medieval lanes passing little shops, atmospheric restaurants, flower-filled balconies and old fishermen’s houses. Climb to the top of the hill by Église Notre-Dame d'Espérance for stunning views of the harbour, followed by a visit to Château de la Castre and its popular museum. This part of Cannes is also home to the colourful Marché Forville showcasing the very best gourmet delights of Cannes and beyond.
Escape the crowds as you venture to Croix Des Gardes natural park with forest walking routes, botanical plants and glorious views across to the Lérins Islands. Look out for some fantastic boat trips from Cannes’ marina from whale and dolphin-watching excursions to family adventures on board a chartered yacht, sight-seeing ferries and romantic sun-set cruises.
Beyond the city centre, visit the ceramic studios and National Picasso Museum in Vallauris, follow Picasso’s footsteps in the enchanting hilltop village of Mougins (loved for its galleries and gastronomy) and appreciate the artistic vibe of Biot with beautiful views of the French Riviera. Chic Juan-les-Pins, so loved by Parisians in the summer, is home to beachside restaurants and more watersports whilst keen walkers will adore the incredible coastal trail around Cap d’Antibes.
In the other direction is the charming seaside village of Théoule-sur-Mer, backed by the dramatic Esterel massif, another paradise for hikers. By staying in one of our collection of handpicked rentals in Cannes you can experience all of this and more during your time on the glistening Côte d’Azur.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFrom Cannes to Antibes and beyond, there is so much to offer families in this part of the French Riviera.

The nearest seaside resort is Golfe-Juan, just under a 10-minute drive away, whilst the sandy beaches of Juan-Les-Pins and Cannes are also nearby. As well as a great range of boat trips and tours, look out for summer watersports such as sea-kayaking, sailing, diving, stand-up paddle boarding and more.

Great place. Amazing view. Very good facilities. Very nice garden and swimming pool.

Felt like our home!
We loved our family stay here. The photos almost don’t do justice to the amazing view, home and location. House was super well furnished, and felt like our home. Thank you for the memories, we’ll definitely be back.
-
I strongly recommend!
Splendid house. Calm, relaxation and family moments are in all our memories! The staff is very welcoming and responsive in case of questions. A very small point on communication concerning the method of payment of the cleaning lady and the check out time but honestly it's minimal.
I strongly recommend! -
Such a beautiful house and location
Such a beautiful house and location. It was easy to explore the close by towns and beaches with a short 15 min car ride to Antibes and Cannes. The heated swimming pool was a huge hit with the kids! We really enjoyed our time. Thank you!

Great time, beautiful house
We had a really great time. What a beautiful house, great place and insanely nice pool. We enjoyed it so much and hope that we can rent it again. The house is really great, very nicely decorated, nice rooms, we have used the washing machines which are also really great. The BBQ is super good and also easy to clean. And I especially liked that there was no chlorine in the pool. The gardener was also very nice. And the view is of course something you can't get enough of. Soooo beautiful. In short, we really enjoyed it, many thanks for it.

Tastefully thought out with fantastic views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very well equipped with plenty of seating areas in sun and shade. The gardens were beautiful and the large pool was cleaned regularly with plenty of sun loungers. There were plenty of good restaurants nearby and there was good and quick access to the beaches at Juan Les pins, Antibes and Cannes. In our opinion, a great place to stay for a multigenerational group.
