Villa Lou Miradou:

Located in the South of France

Our villa provides stunning all-round views to the French Riviera coastline, the Esterel, the distant Maures and the pre-Alpes. Only 25 minutes drive from Nice airport this modern French villa is situated on olive terraces in a very quiet neighbourhood and offers gracious secure living in the provencale style. Shops and restaurants are close by and it is a 10 minute walk through woods to fetch your morning croissants. There is excellent tennis nearby and a selection of 10 golf courses in the vicinity. The coastal resorts of Cannes and Antibes are 18km away and it is only a short drive to Grasse, perfume capital of the world, and to the gourmet shops at Valbonne and Roman Vence.

Lou Miradou Villa is ideal for all year round holiday rentals and vacations. Warmed by under floor heating and a large traditional fireplace, off-peak holiday makers benefit from the sunny location and amazing vibrant winter colouring whilst Summer users can enjoy the large terra-cotta surrounded pool as well as many shaded niches around the villa and in the garden. Even in November tenants have used the pool heater to enjoy the late Autumn warmth and enjoy the Riviera sunshine as Queen Victoria used to do at nearby Grasse when she took a vacation in the South of France.

Entrance to the Villa

You enter the villa grounds through automatic wrought iron gates into a spacious outer parking courtyard with a double garage (and a very popular ping-pong table), then into a covered terra-cotta courtyard and into the villa through a large monastery-style front door into a large salon/tourette with a traditional provencale fireplace. Deep windows open onto a shaded terrace looking out to the bay of Cannes across olive orchards (once belonging to Dirk Bogarde and amusingly described in his books). Up a few steps and you enter a spacious dining room and superbly equipped kitchen beyond, both leading out through sliding windows onto a wide covered terrace ideal for dining or just sitting around. There is also an elegant wc cloakroom, a cellar and well equipped laundry room.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms (three can be arranged as twins) each with its own individual colouring and ensuite bathrooms with Mediterranean tiling (warmed in winter by the underfloor heating). All are on the same level with breathtaking views to the Mediterranean coast. Two rooms share a deep open sun terrace.

The Private, heated Swimming Pool

The swimming pool 12m x 5m with roman steps is surrounded by terra-cotta "plage" and safety fence. The adjacent pool house has a large extending sun awning. Inside there is a well equipped open kitchen, a spacious dining area and a separate wc and shower, a changing room and storage for pool furniture.
