South-Facing Villa with Stunning Sea and Mountain Views
Quiet Area, 8 Mins' Walk to Beach, Plenty of Restaurants
Sleeps 4/5 (2 Bedrooms)
|

Théoule is an unspoilt coastal village with beautiful beaches but Cannes, Nice and Monaco are just a short drive or train ride away. The house sits on top of a hill between Théoule and Miramar with commanding views of the ocean and the Esterel mountains. In excellent decorative order, it offers comfortable accommodation and excellent facilities. Even the kitchen and bathrooms have stunning views, and the house is in the sun from dawn until it sets behind the mountains just across the bay of La Figueirette. You can walk to the beach and marina in less than 10 mins, and there are several good restaurants if you linger for lunch. The grounds of the domaine are beautifully landscaped and there is an infinity’ pool just a couple of minutes from the door (far enough not to be heard!). There is also a sociable 'boules' pitch. For the energetic the Esterel Mountains are popular with hikers, and there are many historic towns and villages (not to mention the markets) within a short drive.

Notes on accommodation
The house is suitable for children and, as well as the nearby beach, there is a play area within the grounds. The major rooms have sliding glass patio doors that 'disappear' into the walls. In the summer there is always a breeze from the sea which can enter on the ground floor and cool the house as it leaves from upstairs. The patio doors have separate sliding mosquito doors so you can benefit from the breeze (and the sound of the sea) during the night.
Accessibility
The house is on top of a hill so is not suitable for people with mobility problems.
Outside
As well as the patios there is a small garden area that leads to the outside entrance to the cellar. There is a wooden patio table and chairs as well as sun loungers. There is also a gas BBQ. An ironing board with steam reservoir iron is provided.

The property is 'pieds dans l'eau', which means it is on the sea side of the coast road and does not suffer from constant road noise. The nearest beach is about 8 mins' walk, a protected bay called La Figueirette, which also has restaurants and a marina.
