Tesis KoduWNG92726

Close to Cannes and the hilltop village of Mougins, this fine family villa is perfect for relaxing holidays on the French Riviera with its fantastic features, gorgeous swimming pool and terraces.

Newly renovated Villa Lys sleeps up to 8 guests across its four air-conditioned bedrooms, including a master double upstairs with a balcony and en suite jacuzzi bathroom. There’s a vast amount of space across the interior-designed open-plan living and dining room with doors sliding open to the covered dining terrace and swimming pool. The elegant kitchen features Smeg appliances, a wine fridge and ice-maker. We also love the desk area at the other end of the villa which opens to an outdoor lounge and firepit (for winter stays).

Heading down to the basement, guests of all ages will appreciate the table tennis and the stylish cinema room whilst there is state-of-the-art gym equipment in the converted garage. That said, no doubt most of your time will surely be spent outside on one of the attractive terraces, lazing in the good-sized swimming pool or relaxing in the heated jacuzzi. Palm and olive trees are dotted across the south-facing garden and youngsters can play on the trampoline just beyond the shaded outdoor kitchen.

In a residential setting around 10km from Cannes, you can stroll to one of two bakeries in the nearby area whilst the restaurants and amenities of charming Mouans-Sartoux can be reached within a very short drive. Experience the art galleries and gastronomic restaurants of nearby Mougins, one of the French Riviera’s most loved hilltop villages, and head to the Provençal Friday morning market in historic Valbonne, close to the natural beauty of the Valmasque forest.

Spend time on the palm-fringed beaches in and around Cannes, visit its vibrant Marché Forville, soak up the glamour of Cannes’ restaurants, bars and boutiques and take a boat excursion along the Côte d'Azur. Discover the historic charm of Antibes, dine in a beachside restaurant in Juan-les-Pins or even venture as far as Nice or Monaco. In the other direction is the idyllic coastline of Théoule-sur-Mer backed by the Estérel massif, yet another highlight of this wonderful part of southern France.
