There are not many villas that can claim to be surrounded by their own private park. Villa Danna bucks that trend, offering up to 16 guests the experience of a lifetime on the French Riviera. This eight-bedroom villa combines every modern convenience you can imagine with a traditional exterior that perfectly complements the ultra-chic décor. Surrounded by lush, perfectly manicured parkland and gardens, it’s comprised of a large main villa and independent annexes for groups or families who want to discover the quintessential essence of French living.
Valbonne is one of those ‘hidden gems’ that once you discover you’ll want to come back to time and time again. Located near Nice, its name translates to ‘The Good Valley’. And it certainly lives up to that name, with charming medieval villages, acres of vineyards and a verdant lushness that belies its location in the sunny Riviera region. Imagine wandering down cobbled streets, stopping off at authentic French cafés and bistros for a lazy lunch and then antique shopping in the boutiques of this delightful town, and you have everything you need to embrace the lifestyle of Provence.
Back at the villa, you have a magnificent gourmet kitchen to try out your culinary skills with those fresh ingredients you bought in the market this morning. Open up a bottle of local wine and relax on the large sun terrace, or take a stroll around that huge garden. Back inside, you’ll find a tranquil interior where a neutral colour palette allows the little personal touches to take centre stage. From the quirky cow-skin indoor loungers to the subtle stonework and the truly magnificent dining table made of a single slice of timber, this is a special villa filled with real character. The first of the eight bedrooms is on the ground floor, and offers a king-size bed and access to the garden. On the first floor of the main villa are three more bedrooms including the master suite with a super-king-size bed, and two other bedrooms with king-size beds.
The independent wing is home to two more bedrooms, both with king-size beds and their own living areas. The independent apartment houses the two remaining bedrooms which both have super-king-size beds. All bedrooms have ensuite facilities. Outside, the tour continues with a 10mx6m pool which can be heated on request. The pool house also has a games room, fitness room and Hammam. You’ll also find a tennis court outside. With everything on offer, surrounded by some of the best gardens in the region, Villa Danna delivers sheer indulgence, a unique character and an exceptional experience no matter what time of the year you visit.
