Mezzanine Suite
Tucked away up a few stairs leading from the main first floor hall is bedroom 6, another double bedroom with high ceilings and windows on three sides overlooking the lovely front garden with its lofty pine.
Although the bedroom area is slightly smaller, this one has its very own relaxation room as well! Overlooking the terracotta pantiles, this observatory has magnificent 270° views of the mountains, sea, forest and countryside. With books and couch, it’s ideal for painting, reading, music, and the suite is ideal as private nanny’s quarters.
Outside
In our spacious garden, there are many different terraces and patios for our guests to be together or find a bit of quiet space. We have some amazing dawns and sunsets, and at night, the view down to Cannes becomes a twinkling panorama of light providing an enchanting backdrop to warm summer dining.
The BBQ area and outside dining table are nearest the kitchen, and next to this is our boules pitch for those guests wanting to get familiar with this quintissential French game.
A store opening onto this patio has a selection of pool toys, balls, boules, additional chairs and a handy fridge, plus bikes for exploring the surrounding countryside.
At the other end of the garden is our beautiful pool, complete with sun loungers and sun shades. The pool has a shallow end ideal for little ones who just want to splash about and have fun, with one step down into the main pool. We provide a complete set of towels including pool/lounger towel for every guest.
From the middle of the garden there are steps down into the wild terraced area below, so if a wayward ball goes over the balustrade, it’s easy to retrieve. These old terraces, covered in fragrant mimosa trees, cacti and fig trees is left untended, and directly abuts the common conservation land of the forest of Peygros which you can access at the bottom.
All terraces have breathtaking views over magnificent countryside with medieval villages, wooded hills and valleys down to the yachts in the Bay of Cannes. Just relax…….
