Villa La Tour

OVERVIEW

Villa La Tour is a unique and special property, built to traditional Provencal Bastide tradition interspersed with a blend of modern Scandinavian, resulting in a wholly impressive and luxurious holiday villa. The property itself encompasses some 670m², sleeping up to twelve. There are fantastic views from its south facing position; some 50 km of coastline can be admired with the Italian Alps to the east, Cap d’Antibes, the bay of Cannes and L’Esterel mountains to the west. On a clear day one can even see as far as Corsica.

Within the property itself there is a modern kitchen, some 45m², with Italian Binova fittings, black granite work tops, a Scholtes four line stove and Wolf oven. There is a professional Unic coffee machine, perfect for breakfast time with fresh croissants, enjoyed with views from the terrace which directly accesses the kitchen. The 80m² living area includes a huge stone fireplace, Ralph Lauren armchairs, ‘smart’ TV, B & O sound system and a selection of modern pieces of art adorn the walls. There are five bedrooms on the first floor, all with views of the Mediterranean and modern individually designed en suite bathrooms. One room has a sofa bed, offering space for an extra two guests.

The grounds are very special: built into the hillside, there are six south facing terrace levels where the scent of olive trees, herbs, lavender and rosemary are ever present. There are lights placed in the garden creating a magical atmosphere at night time. Below the olive grove level is the pool; an impressive 18m x 5m salt-water pool with a shallow end and can be heated on request.
