Location
About the surrounding area of Maison IwanaIn the Côte d'Azur hinterland, just outside the gorgeous town of Grasse, Maison Iwana is around a 30-minute drive from Cannes and the glorious beaches of the French Riviera.
Set in a semi-residential area, perched slightly above a country road, you reach the heart of Grasse in around 2km by car. It’s such a beautiful town with a rich heritage, known as the perfume capital of France – take time to visit one of the town’s perfume studios or factories. The old quarter is a joy to explore with medieval lanes, pretty squares, the morning flower market and a wealth of characterful places to eat and shop.
Discover the surrounding region, passing hills of cypress, pine and olive trees, coming across picture-perfect villages such as Opio, Cabris and Spéracèdes. A little further, stunning Gourdon (12km) is a paradise for walkers or venture to the nearby Gorges du Loup and its waterfalls.
The market town of Valbonne (10km) is a must for foodies on a Friday morning whilst art-lovers will adore the idyllic perched villages of Vence and St Paul de Vence, both just over half-an-hour away. Heading down towards the coast, stop off for lunch in one of Mougins’ gastronomic restaurants, a flower-filled village famed for its associations with Picasso, before travelling down to Cannes (18km) with its glamourous vibe, vibrant markets and palm-fringed shores.
Yet more fantastic beaches can be found in the chic resort of Juan-les-Pins (23km) whilst keen walkers will appreciate the incredible scenery of Cap d’Antibes with its little bays and coastal paths. The old town of Antibes (23km) is full of historic charm and well-worth a visit and those feeling adventurous can enjoy a variety of boat trips and watersports.

Region
Fall in love with Grasse and its surrounding villages as you experience the Côte d’Azur hinterland staying in one of our handpicked villa rentals in and around Grasse. Pass lavender, jasmine, roses and flower farms as you drive into the hills of the Provence-Alpes-Maritime – no wonder Grasse is known as the ‘perfume capital of France’.
As well as the Museé International de la Parfumerie, visit the perfume houses of Galimard, Molinard and Fragonard for guided tours and even perfume-making workshops. Elsewhere, explore the historic winding lanes and come across artisan shops, café terraces and the impressive Rubens frescoes inside Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Puy de Grasse. There’s a lovely daily flower market at Place aux Aires whilst Place aux Herbes hosts the larger twice-weekly market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning.
A short drive from Grasse, encounter a wealth of picture-perfect villages and beautiful landscapes for walking, hiking, horse-riding and cycling. The perched village of Cabris is especially bucolic with incredible vistas over the Tanneron forest and Lac de Saint-Cassien. There are more glorious views from the small village of Spéracèdes with its pastel-coloured houses and olive trees.
Discover century-old hiking trails through the Siagne valley as well as pretty villages, ancient bridges and idyllic swimming spots. Visit the illuminated caves of stalagmites and stalactites just outside Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne before pottering around the authentic village admiring its fountains, café terraces and inviting food shops showcasing goats cheese, honey, olive oil and other products of the region.
South of Grasse, drive to the charming hilltop village of Opio, also famed for its olive oil, and don’t miss the Friday morning market in Valbonne, a very charming town dating back to the 16th century, home to a wonderful town square with pavement cafes and restaurants.
Golf lovers have a great choice of courses in the region including Golf du Claux Amic, once a 17th century hunting estate with stunning views and Golf Grande Bastide just south of Opio as well as prestigious courses close to Mougins and Cannes. As well as endless hiking trails across Grasse’s surroundings, other activities include a range of land and water-based activities in and around Lac de Saint-Cassien, only 15km from Grasse, as well as tree-top adventures and zip-lines with French Riviera views at Riviera Nature just north of the town.
Kids
Best Suited For: TeensNo children under the age of 12.
The Côte d'Azur hinterland offers a wealth of outdoor adventures for families with older children. Close to Grasse, enjoy some tree-top adventures at Riviera Nature around 10km away as well as paint-balling and go-karting nearby.
Teens can also take advantage of the various summer activities at Lac de Saint-Cassien including watersports and an inflatable waterpark alongside lakeside picnics as well as hiking and biking through the surrounding forests.
Then of course there’s the French Riviera within easy reach where you will find the palm-fringed shores of Cannes and the family-friendly beaches around Juan-les-Pins, both also home to watersports and summer boat trips.

A fantastic house in a quiet location
A fantastic house in a quiet location, which is in very good condition and is therefore an absolute recommendation for a few relaxing days. The garden with pool, loungers, barbecue and small outdoor kitchen offers everything you need. The whole house was very clean. The sauna and fitness room, which is now much better equipped than the pictures suggest, were also a highlight. Special mention should also be made of the very friendly on-site supervisor.

Fantastic house in hilly, cosy and beautiful area
Fantastic house located in hilly, cosy and beautiful area. The roads from the centre of Grasse are narrow and sometimes very steep. We were checked in by CC, who was very careful to explain about the house inventory and various functions and technicalities. He had a great sense of humour and was very friendly and accommodating and provided quick help when one of the AC units broke down. The house is located with a fantastic view and we would recommend this house at any time.

Come here to relax
The owner showed us around the house when we arrived and gave good travel tips along the way. It's neat, clean and organized. From the 1st floor you have a fantastic view of Cannes. The beds are comfortable and clean. There is plenty of closet space and air conditioning in all rooms. In the basement is a complete fitness centre with infrared sauna. The pool is large and the hot tub is great. You can walk to the centre in 20 minutes. The roads are classic French (small and steep). You come here to relax, which you also notice on the internet :-)
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
