Overview
Step back in time to the French Riviera in the 1920s as you look out towards the Mediterranean from your beautiful sea-facing villa with a private swimming pool in a prime position on Cap d’Antibes.
The water’s edge is merely metres away where boats gently bob in the marina. The vistas are especially wonderful from Villa Elegance’s main living room – gaze as far as Île Sainte-Marguerite and the Bay of Cannes. It’s here that you can truly appreciate the early 20th century French charm of this recently refurbished abode that has remained in the same family for generations.
Admire family-owned paintings and original objets d’art alongside a stylish blend of vintage and modern furnishings whilst the decor exudes an abundance of character. We adore the coolness of the green marbled floor across much of the main floor – the house is also air-conditioned throughout. The chef’s kitchen is simply delightful with high-end Smeg appliances and gorgeous detailing – cook to your heart’s delight as fellow guests chill out with board games or TV in the second lounge.
Up to 12 guests can sleep restfully at Villa Elegance. Upstairs there are two master bedrooms with elegant en suite bathrooms and doors opening to a pretty balcony overlooking the coast. Another two garden-facing bedrooms share a spacious shower room whilst downstairs you will find the prettiest of double bedrooms with vintage furnishings alongside a cosy bedroom with a built-in bunk-bed.
Back to the light-filled living room, open the French windows and follow the steps down to the heated swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, parasols and the Mediterranean garden. Dine outside beside the loveliest of summer kitchens with a Big Green Egg barbecue, always with that uninterrupted view of the marina and sea beyond.
Perched slightly above the coastal road, you only need to stroll a few moments and you will find yourself by the sea. There’s a high-end hotel very close by with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a seasonal beach club for mezzes, cocktails or ice-cream. Locals and visitors alike gather on the small beach at sunset for yet more idyllic scenery.
Juan-les-Pins is within walking distance with summer waterside restaurants such as Belle Rives Plage around 10 minutes on foot. The chic seaside resort is famed for its great beaches, watersports, vibrant nightlife and annual jazz festival. You will no doubt fall in love with the historic citadel in Antibes, 2.5km away, home to a daily Provençal market, charming restaurants and Picasso museum.
Hike along Cap d’Antibes' spectacular coastal path or experience glorious landscapes as you venture into the hinterland with pretty hilltop villages such as Mougins and Biot. What’s more, you are also so close to the allure of Cannes and its palm-fringed beaches along this iconic stretch of the Côte d’Azur.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa EleganceVilla Elegance enjoys a prestigious French Riviera setting on Cap d’Antibes overlooking the glistening sea. The chic seaside resort of Juan-les-Pins is just a 15-minute walk away.
The villa is slightly perched above the coastal road, only a few steps from a marina. Just around the corner is a hotel with a Michelin starred restaurant and upmarket beach club next to a little beach with beautiful sunsets. There is a diving centre near here and canoeing/kayaking opportunities in the summer.
There are several other bays within walking distance including Plage des Ondes and the sandy shores and beachside restaurants of Juan-les-Pins. Indeed, within a 10-minute stroll you could be dining by the water’s edge at Belle Rives Plage, open from June to end-August.
On the other side of the peninsula, Plage de la Garoupe (2.3km) is where Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Picasso once gathered, now home to private beach clubs and restaurants including Plage Keller. The iconic coastal walking path starts here, a rugged and winding stone trail with the most stunning vistas of the Mediterranean. Pass Baie des Milliardaires d'Antibes before reaching the end of the trail, then it is around another half hour walk back up to Villa Elegance.
Enjoy summer boat trips from Juan-les-Pins including ferries across to the Lérins Islands as well as a range of seasonal watersports. If staying in July, check the dates of the annual jazz festival which has historically attracted some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world. Throughout the summer there are plenty of bars and clubs for guests wishing to experience the nightlife of the Côte d’Azur.
For a change of scene, explore the warren of narrow lanes in the charming citadel of Antibes (2.5km) and pick up local delights at the Provençal market (open most mornings). The Musée Picasso is also in the historic citadel and don’t miss the National Picasso Museum in nearby Vallauris (7km). Art lovers should also find the time to visit the Fondation Maeght just outside the artistic village of St Paul de Vence (20km).
Other highlights along the coast include Cannes (10km), Nice (24km), Villefranche-sur-Mer (35km) and even Monaco (45km) or venture into the French Riviera hinterland for pretty hilltop villages, more gastronomic restaurants and historic market towns – Valbonne, Mougins and Biot can all be reached within half an hour.

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 AgesFamilies will appreciate the spacious living areas whether relaxing in the sea-facing living room, watching a film on the 65-inch TV or playing board games in the second lounge towards the rear of the house (also featuring a TV). Follow the steps down to the garden for leisurely summer days relaxing by the swimming pool and convivial al-fresco meals by the outdoor kitchen with glorious views of the Mediterranean.
You can stroll to several beaches, the nearest being a small bay next to a hotel with a summer beach club. It’s especially idyllic at sunset. Juan-les-Pins is around a15-minute walk away, following the coastal road, a chic seaside resort loved for its seasonal beachside restaurants, watersports and boat trips.
There are plenty more family attractions in an area just north of Antibes, home to Marineland, Aquasplash waterpark, Antibes Land Park and Adventure Golf.

Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!
Our family really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning one day, the Antibes and Juan Les Pins areas were beautiful! The kids loved the pool area and their proximity to the beaches, their days were packed with adventure. The accommodation is generous, the bedrooms are very large and the two living areas plus outdoor dining gave us plenty of room to spread out of an evening and relax. Would highly recommend!

The villa is packed with classique charm
We had a wonderful time at Villa Elegance, the villa is packed with classique charm but features modern amenities, beautiful bathrooms and well appointed rooms that made our stay very comfortable. The pool and front garden have incredible views of the Mediterranean and the location is great, close to beaches, restaurants and town (most things are a short 5 to 10 minute walk)
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
