Description Roses & Riviera: Mougins

Tucked within a gated estate in the hills of Mougins, this villa's saltwater pool, pétanque court, and sun-warmed terrace (with no overlooking neighbours) make entire days disappear without effort. Sleek design choices, including freestanding bathtubs and floor-to-ceiling terrace doors, invite you to spend as much time outside as in. A golf course is just minutes away, and Mougins' restaurants and galleries are close enough for easy evenings out – though with optional concierge services stretching to a private chef or boat rental on the Côte d'Azur, you may never feel the urge to leave.

Home truths:
* There are four outdoor parking spaces within the estate, so getting here by car is straightforward. You'll want a car for exploring the wider Côte d'Azur during your stay.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the ground-floor office, which can function as a private fifth bedroom.
