JdV Holidays Villa Basilic, large pool, A/C and short walk to charming old town

This unique contemporary villa totalling 220 m², composes the main house with a very spacious living / dining / kitchen area, two bedrooms (both with en-suite), an office and guest WC. The adjoining annexe (ideal for older children) is composed of two bedrooms, two bathrooms and kitchen/living area which can be used as a large 5th bedroom.

The true magic of this home is its outdoor living spaces: over 100 m² of wooden deck with dining and lounge areas overlooking 2,000 m² of natural garden, planted with lavender, olive and fig trees (ready to pick in August!), a salt water pool, a pétanque pitch and table tennis.

The villa’s conveniently located at the foot of the old Mougins village (known for its art and gastronomy), a short walk from the boulangerie and bus to Cannes (15 min journey to centre). All other amenities (markets and grocery shops) are only a 5-minute drive away. The Valmasque forest and the lovely Fontmerle Etang can be accessed via a hiking trail along the Canal de la Siagne, directly from the house.

It has a maximum occupancy of 8-10 (plus babies, children over the age of 5 please) and would be perfect for a large family gathering or group of friends (but no organised parties please).
