Another luxury Cote d’Azur villa from Vintage Travel – L’Estive

L’Estive, another luxury Cote d’Azur villa – A stone house at its most stupendous and a stone’s throw away from the Caves of St Cezaire.

To conclude our recent spate of new Cote d’Azur villas is L’Estive, a quirkily magnificent house positioned on the edge of the medieval village of St Cezaire, home of the St Cezaire caves which are one of the main tourist attractions on the Cote d’Azur.

If you like stone properties than you’ll simply love this house, which has been pedantically built by its owner with meticulous care and attention.

This stunning stone luxury Cote d’Azur villa, which possesses the cosiness and character of a wood cutter’s cottage yet oozes with airiness, sophistication and charm, has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and can accommodate up to eight guests.

The traditionalism of the house’s exterior is present in its interior, with exposed wooden beams and traditional décor being a key feature throughout. L’Estive is surrounded by equally lovingly nurtured grounds with trees and flower pots providing life and colour, as well as creating a sense of seclusion and secrecy.

The village of St Cezaire is just 1.2km away, a stroll that is brief in its distance but bounteous in its beauty. The village itself is a lively and atmospheric place that is brimming with shops, restaurants, bars and character and for the days that you yearn a more cosmopolitan experience, the world-famous coastal resorts of St. Tropez, Cannes and Nice are just a short drive away.

Now let’s get back to these caves. Discovered accidentally by Leon Dozol in 1890 whilst he was digging his field to plant a vine, this underground network of caves are one of the most widely visited tourist attractions of the Cote d’Azur.

The Caves of St Cezaire never fail to spellbind both adults and children alike and make a fabulously historical and cultural day out, although remember to bring your coat because the temperature can get pretty chilly in these caves.
