About this property
Just a short walk from the heart of historic Valbonne, Villa des Orangers is an attractive villa where style, comfort and charm come together in perfect balance. Admire orange and lemon trees in garden, cool off in the gorgeous swimming pool, then wander to Valbonne to dine on restaurant terraces on warm summer evenings.
Inside, this architect-designed villa offers light-filled, elegantly curated spaces with air-conditioning across the living area and bedrooms. The open-plan layout flows between multiple areas, all thoughtfully furnished for relaxation, while the sleek kitchen opens directly onto the rear garden for easy al fresco dining near the citrus and palm trees. Five double bedrooms, three with stylish ensuites, provide flexibility for families or groups, and a Jack and Jill bathroom serves the remaining two rooms with equal finesse.
Outside, the L-shaped pool glimmers in the sun, with loungers on the wide terrace inviting lazy afternoons and shaded dining areas promising leisurely meals beneath the pergola.
Just ten minutes on foot, the historic town of Valbonne brims with cafés, restaurants and artisan shops tucked within cobbled lanes. The Friday morning market add a lively rhythm to local life, whilst nearby you’ll find charming hilltop villages such as Mougins, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Opio, each offering their own Provençal allure. The glamorous Côte d’Azur beaches and seaside towns of Cannes, Antibes and Juan-les-Pins are all within easy reach.
Whether browsing the Provençal market, wandering to town for a lazy lunch or dining beneath the garden pergola, Villa des Orangers invites you to slow down and savour the rhythm of life in southern France.
A short walk from the heart of Valbonne (650m), this charming villa offers the best of the French Riviera right on your doorstep.
Located in a residential setting on the main road, it’s wonderful to be able to stroll to one of France’s prettiest market towns for evenings out (there is a narrow pavement on one side of the road most of the way). You have neighbours but you are not overlooked – do note you can hear the road from the swimming pool area. It’s the cobbled lanes, bustling cafés and famous Friday morning Provençal market that make historic Valbonne so enchanting.
Furthermore, Valbonne is perfectly positioned for exploring a rich tapestry of culture, coast and countryside. A short drive leads to Grasse (10km), the world’s perfume capital, where visitors can tour historic parfumeries or wander through fragrant gardens. Nearby Mougins (7.5km), a haven for art lovers and gastronomes, enchants with its galleries and gourmet dining. Other villages such as Opio, Biot and Tourrettes-sur-Loup promise an authentic taste of the French Riviera hinterland, each one steeped in charm and history.
Around 30 to 40 minutes away, the medieval hilltop towns of Vence and Saint-Paul-de-Vence are not to be missed. Admire Matisse’s stained glass masterpiece at La Chapelle du Rosaire near Vence, or immerse yourself in modern art at the renowned Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul. These timeless villages, perched in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean, are steeped in creativity and Provençal spirit.
For those seeking a taste of the Riviera’s glamour, Cannes (13km) is a wonderful day out with its golden beaches, luxury boutiques and glittering promenade. The chic coastal trio of Antibes (16km), Juan-les-Pins and Cap d’Antibes invites seaside adventures, whether it’s strolling the ramparts of Antibes, soaking up the sun on Juan-les-Pins’ sandy shores or exploring the exclusive Cap’s hidden coves and hiking trail.
With Nice Airport just 21km away, this villa combines the ease of modern living with access to one of France’s most captivating regions where culture, coastline and French Riviera charm are never far from reach.
