Nestled in the Provence countryside and close to the thriving centre of Cannes is Toscana, a five-bedroom villa that welcomes up to ten guests. Set in a 70-acre private estate as part of the exquisite Domaine de St Jean complex, Toscana represents the finest in French hospitality, with opulent interiors and every amenity guests could wish for.

Provence is a gastronome's delight. It has a distinctive cuisine (olives, seafood and fresh herbs play a central role in many dishes), with many restaurants offering a more formal experience at a slower pace- and with summer evenings like this, you'll want to savour every moment. The wines can be lighter and more fragrant than the richer, fuller wines of northern France, so expect delectable rosés with delicately floral bouquets that complement the region’s speciality fish dishes. Provence caters to all your senses and is the centre of the perfume industry. Drive through the area during the summer, and savour the scents of purple lavender fields, the sweet flowers and fragrant Mediterranean herbs.

Toscana embraces the natural beauty of this heavenly region and enhances it with a villa that's furnished in a traditional Gallic style. Comfortable living areas with classic French furniture merge seamlessly with an elegant formal dining room and a wonderfully authentic kitchen, complete with a signature marble-topped island and the latest high-end appliances. An outdoor living area is sumptuously designed for a more relaxed evening with large sofas lit by vintage lamps hanging from original wooden beams.

The villa's five bedrooms are richly decorated in warm, inviting tones that create restful retreats. On the upper floor you'll find the refined king-size master suite with its own private sitting room, office area, terrace access, and a spa-standard ensuite. The remaining four bedrooms are located on the ground floor, with two king-size bedrooms and two split-kings that can be converted into twin beds for greater flexibility.

The vast outdoor area has a spectacular manicured lawn and a heated swimming pool. As part of the estate, guests have access to a spa, helipad, pétanque court and 4km of fitness trails. The villa also boasts an al fresco dining area for evening meals under the stars. With breathtaking views across the rolling Provence countryside, Toscana is a sunny, secluded hideaway that captures the very essence of French living.
