With panoramic views of Baous mountains, Haut de Cagnes and Antibes, this is a special place to stay close to some of the French Riviera’s most idyllic villages, perfect for looking for more than just a holiday home. This architect-designed stone-built villa is a high-end yet authentic family residence with graceful furnishings, tasteful décor and the most wonderful gardens and heated swimming pool.

Step through the old wooden door and you will immediately be impressed by Villa du Riou welcoming interiors with antique tiled floors throughout the L-shaped lounge and dining room. Doors lead out to the al-fresco dining terrace with a hand-crafted stone table and wrought iron chairs, ideal for serving feasts prepared in the delightful Provençal-style kitchen.

The villa sleeps up to 6 guests across its three bedrooms including two rounded doubles with air-conditioning, one of which is in the tower with a private terrace and far-reaching views of the countryside and sea beyond. The third bedroom, a charming twin, is reached via a glass door designed by a famous mid-20th century artist and has access to the private side garden overlooking the fountain. All three bedrooms benefit from their own private bath or shower room.

Across the terraced grounds you will come across olive, pomegranate, cherry, fig, orange and lemon trees as well as the picture-perfect mosaic-tiled heated swimming pool and poolside summer kitchen. The vews from the landscaped gardens and terraces are simply magical.

On a clear day you can see as far as Corsica from the terrace as well as been perched just above the gorgeous town of Vence.
Vence, one of the Côte d'Azur and one of the most loved destinations, is a short drive away – the most energetic of guests could even walk there in half an hour (a little longer on the way back up), passing Matisse’s famous Chapelle du Rosaire en route. When you reach the small town you will be enamoured by its narrow lanes, flower-filled doorways, twice-weekly market, art galleries and excellent restaurants; a town which has inspired artists and writers over the many years.

Follow the footsteps of Joan Miró, Chagall and Braque at La Colombe D’or in nearby St Paul de Vence, another gem for art-lovers especially with the renowned Fondation Maeght, and drive to idyllic villages and market towns such as Tourrettes, Grasse and Gourdon. Keen walkers will be delighted to learn there are several hikes straight from the villa whilst golf-lovers have a great choice of courses close to Valbonne and Mougins.

Plenty to visit on the French Riviera whether you wish to enjoy the watersports of Cagnes-sur-Mer, soak up the charm of Nice, explore the beauty of Cap d’Antibes or spend time in Cannes. At the end of the day, return to the bougainvillea-clad patio of  Villa du Riou and appreciate the stunning Mediterranean views from this wonderful and enchanting home.

Due to the fine furnishings and décor in the villa, children under the age of 10 are not accepted at this villa. Babies in arms are accepted and a cot and baby bath can be requested.

Air-conditioning is only featured in two of the bedrooms; the third bedroom has a fan.

You can walk down to Vence in around 30 minutes via the road or a mule track between the villas – as it’s uphill on the way back it may take slightly longer.
