About this property
Just a short stroll from the heart of historic Valbonne, Villa Peyniblou is a beautifully styled villa that captures the essence of refined Riviera living. It’s wonderful to be within walking distance of café terraces, restaurants and one of the region’s most loved Provençal markets on a Friday morning.
Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor flow, the atmosphere inside is one of understated elegance with high-end interiors and air-conditioning throughout. The beautiful kitchen with its central island is brilliantly equipped, perfect for preparing delicious meals to be enjoyed on the covered terrace outside.
Four double bedrooms are spread across two levels, two of which enjoy ensuite shower rooms, while the upstairs bedroom opens to a balcony terrace. A third bathroom features a gorgeous rolltop bath for a touch of indulgence at the end of a long day exploring.
Outdoors, days drift by beneath the shaded pergola or by the sparkling 10m-long swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers and Mediterranean planting. As evening nears, gather on the outdoor lounge to discuss your adventures, perhaps accompanied by a chilled glass of Côtes de Provence rosé.
The villa’s location is a true highlight. Valbonne, less than a 10-minute walk away, is a characterful market town with cobbled lanes, artisanal shops, a bustling weekly market and an exceptional range of restaurants. This is authentic southern France, yet with the glittering coastal icons of Nice, Cannes and Antibes all around half an hour away by car.
Beyond the coastline, a constellation of hilltop gems such as Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Vence and Mougins invites leisurely exploration, each brimming with galleries, boutiques and excellent restaurants.
Whether you’re gathering with family or exploring the cultural riches of the Riviera, Villa Peyniblou offers a chic and supremely comfortable base for your stay in the Côte d’Azur hinterland.
Villa Peyniblouis offers the perfect base for exploring the treasures of the Côte d’Azur and its hinterland. Within walking distance to the charming market town of Valbonne, you are just over half an hour from the glitz of Cannes and its Mediterranean beaches and only 22km from Nice International Airport.
The villa is located on the edge of Valbonne, set on a no-through lane less than a 10-minute walk from the enchanting centre 850m away. Valbonne itself is a delight to explore. Its beautifully preserved pedestrian centre features cobbled streets, pastel-shuttered buildings and an array of shops and cafés. The small town comes alive each Friday morning with its celebrated market, a Provençal showcase of artisan produce, local crafts and irresistible delicacies.
Beyond Valbonne, the surrounding area is a cultural and culinary treasure trove. Discover the artistic charm of Mougins (7km), famed for its gastronomy and Picasso connections, or wander through the olive groves and scenic trails of nearby Opio (6km). Just a short drive away lies the perfume capital of Grasse (10km), where you can tour historic parfumeries and immerse yourself in the town's rich heritage.
Set amidst the rolling hills of the Alpes-Maritimes, this region is dotted with other picturesque villages waiting to be explored. Stroll through the cobbled lanes of artistic Saint-Paul-de-Vence, soak in the panoramic views from Cabris or browse the artisan studios of Tourrettes and La-Colle-sur-Loup. Each village offers its own unique charm, from medieval ramparts to bustling local markets. Art lovers take note that La Fondation Maeght and La Chapelle Matisse are a must-visit.
For a taste of the coast, head down to the glamour of Cannes (12km) or the historic character of Antibes (15km), both within easy reach. Whether you're relaxing on palm-fringed beaches near Cannes, dining in a seafront bistro in Juan-les-Pins, following the coastal walking trail along Cap d’Antibes or discovering hidden hilltop hamlets in the hills, Villa Peyniblouis is perfectly placed to offer the very best of the French Riviera and its alluring inland jewels.
