Combining old-world charm with ultra-chic modernism, Villa Collins is a perfect juxtaposition of old and new. This fabulous traditional French mas has been enlarged with a striking contemporary extension that complements the existing villa. Surrounded by mature gardens and nestled in a sunny, secluded location, this five-bedroom villa is the ideal choice for up to 11 guests to enjoy French living to the full.
The Châteauneuf de Grasse experience is all about slowing down, relaxing, and taking in the tranquillity. Leave the glitzy, glamourous Cannes and St Tropez to the glitterati and enjoy your own little slice of heaven surrounded by rolling countryside and pretty little towns. The local stores ensure you have fresh croissants with your coffee for breakfast, as well as bottles of local wine, made just a few miles from your front door. If you want to explore you can do it on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. And if you do crave some nightlife and a day at the beach, Cannes is just a 20-minute drive away.
The French mas style of Villa Collins is instantly recognisable and has been sympathetically restored and reinvented both inside and out. The ground floor is open and welcoming, with a lounge area complete with a log fireplace and a large living room filled with knick-knacks, quirky little details, and deliciously comfortable furniture. An open-plan gourmet kitchen opens out onto the outside patio area, where you’ll find pots filled with fresh herbs to add flavour to your French cuisine. An elegant dining room offers you the option of indoor dining, and a TV room is bound to be a hit with younger guests. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, including the master bedroom. All have king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms. The upper floor has two more bedrooms, both with king-size beds and ensuite facilities.
Outside, a stunning garden on various levels creates a sense of wonder as you stroll through beds filled with flowers and sweet-smelling herbs. A large, salt-water swimming pool is just the spot for an early morning dip and can be heated on request. The pool house provides an outside living area, including a kitchen and al fresco dining area. These little touches come together to produce a villa with bags of personality and surprises around every corner in one of the most beautiful parts of France. It's a place you'll yearn to return to again and again.
