About this property
In the Côte d’Azur hinterland with beautiful views of the surrounding scenery, Villa L'Howea captures the charm of traditional French living with a backdrop that will take your breath away.
Here, days begin with vistas towards the lake and coastline, best admired from the shaded terrace where meals stretch lazily from morning espresso to sunset apéritifs. Palms sway gently beside the private swimming pool, the garden fragrant with Mediterranean flora and the only soundtrack is birdsong.
The villa itself is modest in style yet thoughtfully arranged for relaxed family living. Spread across three levels, it features four air-conditioned double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a bright, open-plan living space with doors leading directly to the terrace. Inside, expect comfort and convenience with a fully equipped kitchen, fibre-optic Wi-Fi and space to gather.
Outside across the terraced grounds, younger guests will delight in the trampoline and table-tennis, while adults find peace beneath the palm trees with views that stretch all the way to the sparkling coast.
Though you may never wish to leave the terrace, Villa L'Howea’s location makes exploring a joy. Just a five to ten-minute drive brings you to Le Tignet for everyday essentials whilst the shimmering waters of Lac Saint-Cassien offer lakeside walks, watersports and forested picnic spots.
For a taste of culture, Grasse, renowned as the perfume capital of the world, is just 20 minutes away, while the glamorous boutiques and beaches of Cannes are within easy reach, around 25km by car.
Simple in style yet rich in atmosphere, Villa L’Howea is a place to slow down, soak up the light and savour every view. Whether gathering with family or escaping the everyday, this is the Côte d’Azur at its most relaxed and quietly beautiful.
Located off a small country lane on the edge of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Regional Park, Villa L’Howea is set in an elevated position with far-reaching views towards the surrounding countryside, Lac Saint-Cassien and the coast.
Within a 5 to 10-minute drive, you will find all essential amenities including good-sized supermarkets in the area around Tignet. Neighbouring villages such as Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne (7km), Cabris (5km) and Spéracedès (3km) invite exploration with their traditional Provençal markets, pretty squares and panoramic viewpoints. Look out for the wonderful markets taking place in Fayence (17km) and keen-golfers should pre-book the exclusive Terre Blanche (16km), one of France’s most highly regarded golf courses.
A short drive away lies the shimmering Lac Saint-Cassien (7km), a local gem known for its clear waters, lakeside beaches and forested backdrop. Families can enjoy boat hire, picnics and even a floating aqua-park in the height of the summer. It’s a popular spot for both relaxation and adventure, whether you're swimming, paddleboarding or simply soaking in the Mediterranean sun.
A twenty-minute drive brings you to the historic town of Grasse (10km), the world’s perfume capital. Here, you can tour renowned perfumeries, try your hand at perfume-making or browse local boutiques. Also nearby is the historic town of Valbonne (18km), known for its Friday morning market, and artistic Mougins (19km), famed for its gastronomy and Picasso connections.
For a taste of Riviera glamour, Cannes (25km) and its golden beaches are just 40 minutes away. Spend a day shopping in designer boutiques, strolling along La Croisette or enjoying fresh seafood by the sea. With Nice Airport under 45 minutes away, this location strikes the perfect balance between idyllic rural charm and coastal sophistication.
