About this property
La Coulinette is a beautifully renovated Provençal villa where contemporary style meets the timeless charm of the French Riviera hinterland. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and bathed in southern light, this two-storey abode offers the perfect balance of elegance, comfort and space, with every room fully air-conditioned for year-round enjoyment.
Inside, the heart of the home is a brand-new kitchen with an island breakfast bar and American-style fridge freezer, alongside a light-filled living and dining space with Samsung Smart TV and fibre-optic Wi-Fi. Pretty French windows lead to a shaded dining terrace, ideal for long lunches that spill into the afternoon. A ground-floor four-poster bedroom with ensuite opens directly onto the garden, while upstairs, three further bedrooms include two with balcony access, one with its own ensuite, alongside a family bathroom.
Outside, the large garden, dotted with mature trees, frames the heated, 10-metre pool, where a sun-soaked terrace gives way to a shaded pool house complete with outdoor lounge, bar and fridge. The south-west aspect ensures warm days and unforgettable sunsets. Evenings are perfect for cooking on the barbecue or pizza oven and dining al-fresco as the sky deepens to indigo.
La Coulinette enjoys an idyllic setting between Bar-sur-Loup and Tourrettes-sur-Loup, with Grasse only 20 minutes away. Pont-sur-Loup is a two-minute drive, offering a small grocery store, a family-run courtyard restaurant and a micro-brewery with food and live music. The region is rich in attractions, from the historic lanes of Saint-Paul-de-Vence to the perfumeries of Grasse, with kayaking, hiking and cycling along the River Loup for the more adventurous.
Whether you are seeking a holiday filled with outdoor adventures or lazy days beside the pool, this villa offers a setting where every detail encourages you to slow down and enjoy the very best of the Côte d’Azur hinterland.
Set along a small no-through lane above the Loup River, La Coulinette enjoys an enviable position between the charming medieval villages of Bar-sur-Loup and Tourrettes-sur-Loup – each just ten minutes away by car. The house offers the best of both worlds- an idyllic setting with access to the glamour of the Côte d’Azur for superb days out.
Closer to home, the tiny riverside hamlet of Pont-sur-Loup (1.6km) is a mere two-minute drive from your door (some guests alternatively choose to walk along the country road, no pavement). Here you’ll find a small grocery store, a family-run courtyard restaurant and a micro-brewery with regular live music and serving food. For larger shops, weekly markets and a greater choice of restaurants, head to Tourrettes-sur-Loup (8km), Le Bar-sur-Loup (3km) or Châteauneuf-Grasse (5.5km), all within 10 to 15 minutes by car.
The surrounding landscape is a feast for the senses. The River Loup cuts a sparkling path through the valley, offering kayaking and canyoning adventures, refreshing swims and peaceful picnic spots. Scenic walking trails wind through terraced hillsides scented with wild herbs, while winding mountain roads make for thrilling cycling and mountain-biking routes. This is a destination that invites you to slow down, breathe in the fragrant air and savour the natural beauty of the French Riviera hinterland.
Culture and history are never far away. Spend time in the perfume capital of Grasse (12km), where you can tour world-famous perfumeries and shop for exquisite fragrances. Discover the iconic hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence (16km), with its cobbled lanes, charming art galleries and sweeping views over the Mediterranean. Vence (15km) offers more timeless beauty, while further afield the coastline beckons with sandy beaches and vibrant seaside towns.
La Coulinette is your gateway to the rich tapestry of the Riviera, from tranquil riverbanks and mountain vistas to the chic boulevards of the coast for wonderful days out.
