About this property
Just outside the medieval village of Mougins, where Provençal charm meets Côte d’Azur sophistication, Villa Barthélemy offers a refined sanctuary in one of the Riviera’s most sought-after settings. With distant sea views shimmering from the rooftop terrace, this detached villa combines effortless indoor-outdoor living with comfort and contemporary style. The south-facing terrace invites long days in the sun, while the private heated pool glistens beneath the blue skies of southern France.
Designed over two spacious floors, the villa balances light-filled open-plan living with restful privacy. On the upper level, a striking circular sofa anchors the lounge, flowing naturally to an elegant dining area and traditional kitchen. Five air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom (most en suite), are spread thoughtfully across both floors, creating an ideal layout for up to 10 guests. The interior spaces are cool and calm, while French doors lead out to generous terraces designed for al fresco dining, poolside lounging or relaxed evenings beside the firepit.
Outside, terraced Mediterranean gardens surround the villa in colour and scent. A shaded outdoor dining terrace with a gas barbecue and pizza oven sets the scene for vibrant summer meals, while families can enjoy the trampoline and table football. The private pool, heated during certain months, is the heart of the villa’s outdoor lifestyle, bordered by loungers and perfectly placed for sun-filled afternoons.
Villa Barthélemy is superbly located for those who want to experience the best of the Riviera. Just a 20-minute walk brings you to hilltop Mougins’ cobbled streets, art galleries and acclaimed restaurants. Even closer, Val de Mougins offers fresh produce and everyday essentials just five minutes on foot.
World-class golf is within a very short drive and the glamour of Cannes and its golden beaches is only 20 minutes away by car. Day trips to Antibes, Grasse, Biot or even Nice are within easy reach, offering a mix of cultural exploration and coastal elegance.
Whether savouring long lunches on the terrace or discovering the region’s storied towns, Villa Barthélemy promises a fine Riviera escape where every detail is attuned to comfort, style and a sense of Côte d’Azur character.
In an attractive residential enclave on the edge of the medieval hilltop village of Mougins, Villa Barthélemy enjoys a prime location just 7km by car from the sparkling shores of Cannes and the French Riviera.
Daily essentials are close at hand, with supermarkets a 5-minute drive away and the nearby Val de Mougins just a 5-minute stroll via local country lanes (no pavements most of the way), home to a delightful bakery, brasserie, café-bar and fresh produce shops. Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled to find the prestigious Royal Mougins Golf Club just five minutes by car, offering beautifully manicured fairways and exclusive facilities in a stunning Mediterranean setting.
Mougins itself, just a 20-minute walk (1.3km) uphill from the villa, is a picturesque hilltop village known for its winding cobbled lanes, art galleries and exceptional dining – a favourite among artists and gourmands alike.
The historic town of Valbonne (8km) is renowned for its lively Friday morning market and welcoming café terraces lining the central square. A hub of culture and community spirit, it also hosts open-air concerts and summer events that capture the essence of French village life. Equally inviting is Grasse (11km), the perfume capital of the world. Discover historic perfumeries and the aromatic traditions that have shaped this charming Provençal town for centuries.
Art lovers and collectors will enjoy a visit to Biot (14km) famed for its striking hand-blown glass and ceramics. Meanwhile, Cannes (7km) dazzles with its palm-lined boulevards, high-end boutiques and golden beaches. Explore the old quarter of Le Suquet for sweeping views of the bay and a glimpse into Cannes’ medieval roots.
For another elegant coastal outing, head to nearby Antibes (15km), a haven of narrow streets, colourful markets and the celebrated Picasso Museum, close to the coastal walking trail of Cap d’Antibes. Lively Juan-les-Pins (15.5km) offers vibrant nightlife and beachside dining, rounding off a location that balances authentic French charm with Riviera sophistication.
