Two stunning luxury villas in Grasse

Grasse and St. Cerzaire warrant a stay at ‘Mediterranee’ and ‘Passiflore’ – Two additional treasures on the Cote d’Azur!

The town of Grasse, like much of the Cote d’Azur, is known throughout the world, not only for the affluent, elitist and glamorous crowd of visitors who flock there each, but predominantly for being the perfume capital of the world.

With a fragrant aroma of flowers and air so clean you feel that your lungs have been revitalised, and with narrow streets spiralling past interesting architecture built in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is easy to understand why Grasse has been a popular tourist town for several centuries.

Within a short distance of Grasse lies the ancient fortified village of St. Cezaire. This intriguing medieval town sits high on a mountain ledge overlooking the River Siagne and a deep-forested valley below.

Apart from its stunning situation, St. Cezaire’s centrepiece is its huge church that was built in 1720. Surrounded by terraces lined with cafes, interesting and quirky boutiques and an impressive fountain, this is the perfect place to have a drink, sit back and relax and take in the marvels of this mesmerising village.

This area of the South of France is just crying out to be explored and if you are looking for accommodation to match the exclusiveness of the region then Vintage Travel recommends both luxury villas in Grasse, Mediterranee and Passiflore.

Mediterranee

Our latest addition to luxury villas in Grasse is Mediterranee (pictured). Close to the magnificent perfume capital town of Grasse is the exquisite four bedroom and three bathroom villa known as ‘Mediterranee’. Boasting panoramic views of the extraordinarily beautiful countryside surrounding Grasse and beyond to the bay of Cannes, up to eight guests can live in comfort and luxury during their stay at this spacious villa.

Grand electric gates meet guests upon arrival where one enters extensive grounds consisting of immaculate lawns, surrounded by a colourful profusion of flowers, shrubs and palm trees. Guests can relax around Mediterranee’s private pool before wining and dining on the huge terrace.

This contemporary style and elegance is continued inside where a stylish mix of period furniture, terracotta tiles, ornate lamps and colourful paintings exudes the classy essence of the house and the region it habitats.

Passiflore

The villa of Passiflore enjoys an equally as privileged location being situated in a quiet residential suburb of St. Cezaire.

This tasteful property boasts a unique exterior consisting of ground floor bedrooms each with private access to the outdoor terrace, whilst a mezzanine with its own TV and pool table invites one to come and relax in.

As Mediterranee, Passiflore is geared up for some outdoor dining, relaxing and having fun, with a well-equipped summer kitchen, a large terrace, a private pool and a boules pitch, all within Passiflore’s extensive and highly-groomed grounds.
