This top quality Provence villa has the most magnificent views of the
surrounding countryside, hills, lake and towards the sea in the
distance. It is in a superb position, tucked away in a very secluded
location along a quiet lane, 400m from the picturesque old village of
Speracedes. You can even buy AOC olive oil from the owner!
The house has the charm and
character of an older property with exposed stone walls, beams and
beautiful Provence floor tiles; it is very comfortably furnished with
good quality French country furniture and extremely well maintained. Air
conditioning throughout.
The villa is about 400m from the picturesque old village of Speracedes which
has a very nice restaurant, La Soleillade, friendly bar with fantastic
views from the terrace, boulangerie and a couple of little shops. The
supermarket is a couple of minutes drive away and there are more shops
in nearby Peymeinade, and some nice restaurants in Cabris, 2km. Grasse,
8km, is a larger town with a good choice of shops and supermarkets. The
coast is about 20km with the nearest sandy beaches at
Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Cannes and Antibes. There is now an excellent rail
link which runs from Grasse to Cannes and along the
coast with free parking at Grasse and trains running frequently until
late at night. In the other direction, the beaches at Fréjus,
Les Issambres and St Raphael are a 45 minute drive. The property is
very well situated for touring both inland and along the coast: the
dramatic scenery of the Verdon gorges and the Loup gorges are well worth
a trip; the Lac de Saint Cassien, which is excellent for water sports,
is about 8km and there are many attractive perched villages nearby such
as Cabris, Montauroux and Fayence. There really is something for
everyone in the immediate area: perfume museums 8km, tennis 2km, golf
7km, and miles of marked paths for walkers, local markets in the
neighbouring villages and world class art galleries in Nice and St Paul
de Vence. Nice airport is about 40km.
