Villa of the week: this week Villa du Parc in Cannes
This week our favourite villa is the Villa du Parc in Cannes. (Next week it will be a different villa. We are fickle like that.) Only four minutes’ walk to the beach, close to the Croisette and a short drive from the Palais des Festivals, it is a very beautiful building in the classic style of over a century ago. The villa is in a private park with electronic security gates. It has large entertaining areas (including a large terrace that can seat up to 100) and so is an ideal base for those visiting for festivals and makes a perfect wedding venue. Accommodation includes cloakroom, modern and perfectly equipped kitchen, large dining room (seats 12), well-equipped study/office, and drawing room leading to a terrace with seating for 18 and piano. At lower garden level is a separate apartment with access to house or separate access suitable for teenagers/staff with kitchen, twin bedroom and shower bathroom. On the first floor are two double (king) bedrooms with their own bathrooms and on the upper floor two twins share a bathroom. All have fine views from their balconies.
