Description Real Groove: Antibes

The French Riviera is synonymous with glitz and glamour, where film stars flock, supercars roar, and the fashionable insist on being seen. Nestled between Cannes and Nice, the town of Antibes is this stretch of water’s best kept secret. And this stylish home in the Old Town is the secret within that secret. Seventeenth-century masonry meets millennial chic, the flashes of red under vaulted wooden ceilings keeping things coherently stylish. But the pièce de résistance is surely the terrace, where you’ll want to dine alfresco and soak in the hot tub as the sun goes down – the sea views are truly stunning. Antibes is every bit as glamorous as its more famous neighbours, and for now, it’s our little secret.
