Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This deluxe villa overlooks the Cote d’Azure’s shimmering coastline. There are sea views from every corner of the vast terrace – perfect for sundowners and meals outside. The private pool is a tonic for hot days in southern France and its water alarm and fence assure this place is kid-friendly. Inside, you’ll find the open-plan living area upstairs, where one of the bedrooms is separated by a curtain, feeling like something of an afterthought. But the main bedrooms downstairs are classy, all with French doors leading outside. Plage de la Gaillarde is a short walk and your locale of Issambres has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.
