Villa Brillante - Six Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 12

Villa Brillante is a delightful villa with a fantastic swimming pool and gardens, located just a short drive from the medieval hilltop town of Mougins and the glitz and glamour of Cannes.

You will feel immediately at home in the comfort of the bright, airy living room with large sofas, an open fire-place and wonderful French windows opening straight out to the swimming pool and gardens. The indoor dining area also opens onto a spacious terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining on warm summer evenings or poolside lunches on lazy days at the villa. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you may need and there is an outdoor kitchen and gas barbecue for keen cooks to prepare a feast for their guests.

There are six bedrooms on the ground and first floors, styled with simplicity and pretty fabrics, all of them en-suite with colourful bath or shower rooms. The three downstairs rooms have French doors opening onto the pool terraces or gardens, and two of the bedrooms on the first floor have their own terrace, ideal for a glass of good wine brought back from one of the area's many vineyards.

The curved salt-water swimming pool is going to be popular with all ages with its magnificent features such as a Jacuzzi, waterfall and a wave and jet machine. Lazy days can be spent having fun in the swimming pool whilst sun worshippers soak up the rays from the poolside loungers or relax on the outdoor chairs. There is table tennis and badminton in the garden and a lovely spacious lawn area, wonderful for family games or shady picnics under the palm tree.

A short stroll (via country roads) will take you to Val de Mougins where you will find a good choice of local shops and restaurants, ideal for your everyday groceries or a quick meal out. Just a few minutes further by car is the charming medieval hilltop town of Mougins, which has become famous for its art galleries and restaurants and hosts the Festival of Gastronomy every year. Whether you are looking for fine dining or authentic French cuisine, you will find a great choice of excellent eateries in and around Mougins. 

Glamourous Cannes is just 6km away, and where you can enjoy its famous promenade, La Croisette, or find one of the many public and private sandy beaches for a day by the sea and maybe some energetic watersports. Take a ferry from Cannes to the nearby Iles de Lerins where you can picnic by a rocky cove or take a walk with wonderful views.

Families will also love the nearby Aquasplash in Antibes, just a short drive away, or the wild woods and playgrounds of the Parc de la Valmasque near Mougins.
