Just a short distance from the pretty Provence town of Mougins is this elegant five-bedroom villa. With exceptional views and a delightfully subtle décor surrounded by mature, manicured gardens, Villa Pascale welcomes up to ten guests with a thoughtful blend of contemporary design and Provençale touches.

Tucked between the famous towns of Cannes and Grasse is one of the Riviera's real jewels. Mougins is a seductively pretty hilltop town that dates back to the 1st century BCE. Stroll around its picturesque cobbled streets that wind their way upwards, browsing for unique works of art in the galleries or stopping off for a coffee and sweet pastry. Your dedicated concierge can arrange for restaurant reservations that allow you to sample the finest cuisine made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and cooked in a traditional Provençal way.

If you’re looking for villas in Cannes but want something a little different and a touch more secluded, Villa Pascale ticks all the right boxes. The design concepts are on-trend, giving the interior of this large villa a bright, open feel that transitions effortlessly from cosy indoor areas to sunny outdoor patios and terraces. The gourmet-standard kitchen is a chef’s dream, accompanied by a separate wine cellar with a tasting room so you can choose the perfect accompaniment to serve with your meal. Dining is either formal indoors or informal on the terrace - the choice is yours.

The villa’s five enchanting bedrooms are peaceful spaces, mindfully decorated to encourage a restful night's sleep. On the upper main floor is the primary suite with an opulent king-size bed and charming ensuite with soak tub, stand-alone shower and dual vanity unit. The private terrace has exceptional views of the garden, mountains and the sea. The remaining four bedrooms are located on the garden floor, and all have direct access to the garden and swimming pool. All four have indulgent super-king-size beds and attractive ensuites.

Outside, guests can enjoy the sunshine, with terraces on each level and a lounge area with a fire pit for evening soirees. A heated swimming pool shimmers in the sunlight, inviting you to dive in and get in a few laps before breakfast. As the sun sets over the bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands, it’s time to plan the next day’s adventures in this magical destination.
