Additional info;
Villa Duvernoise is in Cap d’Antibes just a few steps from the sea, 2.5km from the heart of historic Antibes. It is around half an hour by car from Nice Airport or if arriving by train then the direct TGV service from Paris Gare de Lyon to Antibes takes just over five hours.
Set in a residential area with close neighbours, walk out of your gated grounds, down the small road and within a few seconds you will be by the rocky coast. Walking in the direction towards Antibes, you will reach a pretty sandy bay within 700m whilst the iconic Plage de la Garoupe (2km) is about half an hour on foot in the other direction. Discover nearby restaurants (seasonal opening) within walking distance or a short drive.
Historic Antibes (2.5km) is a short drive away or you could walk along the coastal road in just over half an hour. The charming citadel is home to a warren of medieval lanes with restaurants, bars, cafes, little shops, a Provençal market and the Picasso museum. As you explore the alleyways and come across the city ramparts, the sea views will take your breath away.
Juan-les-Pins (2.5km) is also within easy reach, a chic seaside resort loved by Parisians in the height of the summer with its glorious beaches and beachside restaurants as well as seasonal water sports and boat trips.
Keen walkers will adore the Cap d’Antibes’ coastal hiking trail, Le Sentier de Tire-Poil, where you are rewarded with the most stunning views passing hidden coves and rugged shores at the southernmost end of the peninsula, starting near Plage de la Garoupe
Another jewel of the French Riviera is Cannes (13km), easily reached by car or train (from Antibes of Juan-les-Pins), home to palm-fringed beaches, high-end boutiques, bars and restaurants, a vast marina and of course Le Palais des Festivals at the end of La Croisette, one of France’s most famous boulevards.
If you are hoping to be able to explore the Côte d'Azur’s hinterland, perhaps start off in Picasso’s beloved Mougins (19km), famed for its art galleries and gastronomic restaurants, or admire the views from artistic Biot (10km). Historic Valbonne (20km) hosts one of the region’s best Provençal markets on a Friday morning whilst Grasse (28km), the perfume capital of France, is just over half an hour away by car.
A little further afield, the idyllic hilltop towns of St Paul de Vence and Vence are both incredible, as of course is the grand French Riviera city of Nice (25km). The most adventurous could even continue east towards Monaco (46km), passing gems such as Villefranche-sur-Mer (33km) and the perched village of Èze (50km), or even as far as the Italian border. Ventimiglia (70km) is just over an hour by car with its huge Friday morning market, the largest in Italy!
