About This Villa

With a blend of French charm and Nordic design, La Lunette is a beautiful villa with incredible vistas towards the Mediterranean, set in a desirable neighbourhood in the French Riviera hills only 3km from artistic Vence.

The panoramic views of the surrounding hills and distant coastline are magnificent from the covered outdoor lounge, infinity swimming pool and pool house with its bar, al-fresco dining area and barbecue. Soak up the sights and aromas of the Côte d’Azur hinterland with lavender, rosemary, olive trees and delicate roses across the pretty garden. As evening nears, it’s idyllic playing pétanque on the atmospherically lit court as the stars appear in the night sky.

There’s a sense of refined elegance across the spacious air-conditioned interiors which have been styled so thoughtfully and furnished to a high standard. As well as the open-plan living and dining spaces with arched windows leading out to the main terrace, we love the cosy TV lounge with home cinema and the gym/sauna.  

The six good-sized bedrooms are scattered across the three floors, all featuring en suite bath/shower rooms and flexible sleeping arrangements with large double beds (mostly king-size), three of which can be split as twins. We especially love the master bedroom on the top floor with unobstructed sea views from its private terrace and even a sea and mountain vista from the bathroom.

Exclusive services can be arranged from a private chef service and gastronomic experiences to wine tours, massage treatments and yacht charter. Indeed, French Riviera coast is a perfect day out whether trying out watersports in Cagnes-sur-Mer, dining in a beachside restaurant in Juan-les-Pins, visiting the Picasso museum in Antibes or wandering along Nice’s famous promenade.

Closer to home, discover the glorious surroundings by hiking, cycling or horse-riding across the rural landscapes nearby. Vence itself is a joy to explore with its warren of cobbled lanes, art galleries, daily market, restaurants and Matisse’s Chapelle du Rosaire whilst neighbouring St-Paul-de-Vence is home of the highly regarded Fondation Maeght, the country’s first independent art foundation with contemporary exhibitions, the Joan Miró labyrinth and a sculpture garden set amongst the towering pines.
