Clairefontaine ticks many boxes for a villa holiday in the Côte d'Azur, the top three being spacious comfort, delightful gardens and being only a short walk from village amenities. This substantial property is a warm and comfortably furnished family villa, decorated with traditional Provençal touches, a true home from home. Large windows and French doors throughout allow light to flood into the spacious rooms, which are well laid out for easy living in a warm climate.
The Provençal style kitchen, well equipped for 'foodies', is adjacent to the dining room and leads directly out to the covered outdoor dining area. With a built-in barbecue, most meals will undoubtedly be taken here next to the conveniently enclosed and gated front lawn section of the garden.
The villa sits in extensive tiered grounds, set into the hillside, with some lovely views towards Mandelieu to be admired from the upper levels, where the owners have installed a conveniently idyllic terrace, a favourite spot with guests for a coffee and croissant! Carefully tended, the established garden is peppered with flowers and classic Mediterranean plants such as lavender, jasmine, lemon and olive trees. Various different spots around the grounds provide opportunity for quiet relaxation whilst the table tennis and floodlit boules court will keep everyone entertained. In a sheltered spot down steps at the lowest level of the garden sits the pool, gated for peace of mind, with ample space for sunbathing. Not only are there convenient poolside shower and WC facilities, but also a well-equipped summer kitchen to prepare drinks and snacks during the day.
The property is in a residential area just 10 minutes’ walk from the village of Peymeinade, which has several excellent restaurants and a good selection of shops including a supermarket. Nearby, the picturesque hilltop village of Cabris (6km) offers further restaurants. Visits in the area include the perfume capital of Grasse (8km), Lake St Cassien (10km), and the caves in St Cézaire (10km). The Côte d’Azur's glamourous coastline is only about half an hour’s drive.
