Grasse Cote d'Azur villa with heated
pool and tennis court – originally a farm that produced flowers for the use of
local perfume makers, beautifully refurbished La Floraison is a true delight.
From its heated pool and full-size hard surface tennis court to the superb
grounds and comfortable, partly air-conditioned interior, this large French
Riviera villa is the ideal place for a week or more of pure relaxation, either
as a holiday or to celebrate a special occasion. The position of the house in a
residential area, in its own 7 acres of beautifully tended grounds, means you
can enjoy the setting - and your privacy - to the full. However, La Floraison
enjoys all the advantages of proximity to the centre of an important and lively
university town, with great restaurants and shops nearby. Having explored
Grasse, do go further afield: La Floraison gives you easy access to appealing
inland villages such as Cabris and Valbonne and to Riviera resorts such as
Cannes.
Cannes is only about 10 miles’ drive
and would make an excellent day out: head for the pretty, older districts of Le
Suquet or Le Cannet and enjoy the restaurants and the views; or you might like
to take a 20-minute ferry trip to the Iles des Lerins, or a stroll along the
famous La Croisette promenade. There are beaches here but if you prefer
somewhere quieter head west along the coast a little towards Theoule-sur-Mer.
For children, this part of France offers a plethora of fun and memorable
activities - you'll be spoilt for choice!
