Experience the opulence of the French Riviera at this prestigious residence set in over 2 hectares of beautiful landscaped grounds, located on the edge of the enchanting hilltop village of Mougins.
Maison Lauren enjoys sweeping views of the Côte d’Azur and Esterel mountains from its hillside setting. It is idyllic to sit out on the vast veranda beside the trickling fountain as you admire the splendid scenery around you. The vistas are just as spectacular inside from the elegant lounge with its arched windows framing the view and from the sliding glass windows of the conservatory-style dining room.
This luxurious villa in Mougins originally dates back to the 1920s yet has recently been wonderfully renovated to create an impressive holiday home for up to 22 guests. Great attention has been paid to every detail to ensure guests can appreciate the architectural beauty and charm of this unique abode. Expect antique fireplaces and other original features alongside 21st century modern additions including a sumptuous cinema lounge, sauna, hammam and fitness room.
The extensive landscaped grounds are incredible with such a Mediterranean ambience with cypresses, olive trees, pretty terraces and stone steps dotted across the many levels. The heated swimming pool is sensational and there is a pool house and summer kitchen for al-fresco feasts. The 2.6-hectare estate also features traditional pétanque and a private tennis court.
Flower-filled Mougins is just a short stroll away, a hilltop village famed for its artistic heritage and fine gastronomic reputation. Soak up its charm as you explore its narrow lanes coming across restaurant terraces and little art galleries. A little further afield are other gems of the Cote d’Azur hinterland including Valbonne, Opio, Grasse, Cabris and Gourdon.
The palm-fringed shores of Cannes are only a short drive away with boutiques, bars and fine dining establishments. You will also fall in love with the beachside restaurant of Juan-les-Pins, the historic character of Antibes or the pretty bays around Théoule-sur-Mer in this alluring part of the Côte d’Azur.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison LaurenSet in a prestigious estate of 2.6 hectares including a beautiful swimming pool, tennis court and terraced landscaped gardens, Maison Lauren enjoys a privileged location just a short walk from medieval Mougins, a hilltop village overlooking the Côte d’Azur below.
Strolling up the hill, you can reach the edge of the village in around 400m (no pavement) before walking up to the heart of the village passing pretty stone houses, olive trees, restaurant terraces and little art galleries. Indeed, the village is famed for its food (Les Étoiles de Mougins gastronomic festival takes place in September) and art - follow Picasso’s footsteps around the village he so loved towards the end of his life. Whether visiting museums and galleries or just pottering around the little shops, it’s an incredibly charming village to spend time in.
The allure of Cannes (7km) is just a short drive away with its boutiques, high-end restaurants, bars, palm-fringed shores and impressive marina, not to mention the town’s more authentic side with the bustling Marché Forville and historic fishermen’s quarter, Le Suquet.
Nearby Antibes (14km) is another gem of the French Riviera with its old citadel alongside Cap d’Antibes for incredible coastal hikes. Meanwhile, beach lovers will adore the chic resort of Juan-les-Pins (14km), especially loved by Parisians in the height of the summer.
Heading further east, spend the day visiting the markets, museums and city beach of cosmopolitan Nice (30km), soak up the charm of Villefranche-sur-Mer (36km) and gaze at the captivating vistas from the perched village of Èze (40km).
In the other direction are the pretty bays and coastal walking trails in and around Théoule-sur-Mer (20km), backed by the beauty of the Massif de l'Esterel. The winding coastal road continues on to pretty Plage d'Agay (34km) and the seaside towns of sophisticated Saint-Raphaël and historic Fréjus.
You are also well located for exploring the Côte d’Azur hinterland. Experience the Friday morning market in historic Valbonne (7km), admire the perfume studios and Rubens paintings in Grasse (15km) and enjoy a wealth of outdoor adventures around Lac de Saint-Cassien (37km), not far from the picturesque villages of the Pays de Fayence.
Not forgetting the enchanting villages of Vence (30km) and St Paul de Vence (25km), home to Matisse’s Chapelle du Rosaire and the highly regarded art exhibitions at Fondation Maeght.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesMaison Lauren’s vast estate is home to a tennis court, pétanque, 25m long swimming pool and huge garden on different levels. Inside, families will especially appreciate the cinema lounge. It is wonderful to be able to walk up the hill to Mougins, a charming medieval village with a wealth of charm alongside little shops, art galleries and gastronomic restaurants.
For family-friendly walks, the Valmasque Forest is easily reached within a short drive with shady trees, picnic tables, walking trails and space to play to your heart's desire. The Étang de Fontmerle is especially attractive for gentle walks around one of the largest lotus ponds in France with great bird-watching opportunities.
The sandy shores of the French Riviera are just over 7km away in and around the glamourous town of Cannes. Along this part of the coast you will find public and private beaches, a range of watersports and boat trips. Juan-les-Pins is another popular seaside resort or discover the smaller coves around Théoule-sur-Mer and Cap d’Antibes.
There are plenty of family attractions open in the summer months from Marineland, Adventure Gold, Antibes Land Park and Aquasplash just north of Antibes to Le Bois des Lutins and Le Village des Fous just outside Villeneuve-Loubet.
