About this property

LUXURY VILLA with AMAZING VIEWS and PRIVATE HEATED POOL in GORGEOUS GARDENS

VILLA OLEANDER is a luxury, air conditioned villa with 3 bedrooms (all with en suite bathrooms) in Mougins, sleeping 6-7. Two of the bedrooms are upstairs and one downstairs.
The open plan kitchen, living room and dining room make for a wonderfully convivial vacation space for a family or group of friends.

Set within a mature, south-facing, Mediterranean garden with breath-taking views over the Old Village (15-20 mins walk), the Bay of Cannes and the Esterel Mountains.

Just 20 minutes from Nice Airport and 6km from Cannes.

The terraced gardens are beautifully landscaped and secluded with high hedges and include a private, heated swimming pool, pool house, table tennis and full sized boules court.
We also have a well equipped games room.

The villa has private parking for 3 cars and is secured by remote controlled electric gates.

We pride ourselves on excellent communication and service, and exceeding expectations.

The wonderful view has defined the standard for which we have tried to follow in all that we have done at the villa.

Children are very welcome at Villa Oleander and we have plastic boules for the boules court and plenty of inflatables for the heated pool.
We accept well behaved pets with prior approval

More on our location

Villa Oleander has the perfect view of the medieval village of Mougins, famous in the French Riviera for its superb restaurants, art galleries and surrounding golf courses.
Thanks to excellent road links, Mougins is only 20 minutes from Nice Airport, yet retains its peaceful village charm.
Only 6km from Cannes and the Mediterranean Sea, Mougins is also home to the 427 hectare National Parc de La Valmasque and Lake Fontmerle, giving it a semi rural feel.
At a height of 260 metres, Mougins is beautifully maintained, its winding pedestrian streets filled with art galleries and over a dozen fabulous restaurants. Pablo Picasso chose Mougins as the place to spend his last 12 years, and his studio was in the Old Village. Other famous people who have chosen to live in Mougins include Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Yves Saint Laurent, Winston Churchill and Édith Piaf.
Alain Ducasse and Roger Vergé have managed restaurants in the village and now, famous chef Denis Fetisson, owns two of our many wonderful restaurants.
Mougins is fortunate to have the excellent Musée de la Photographie, Musée d`Art Classique, and each year hosts the International Gastronomy Festival of Mougins.

We had the most amazing couple of days at the Villa, we didn't really feel the need to leave because it had everything there ..the pool, games room, table tennis even yoga mats. We did explore a little bit during our short stay there , we had a lovely walk in a beautiful park and we did dine out at the georgous little town Mougins well worth a visit , we will definitely be staying again for longer next time !

Beautiful Villa very close to Mougins old town
Villa Oleander is a lovely villa close to Mougins in a nice neighbourhood. For us, it was not walking distance to the old town in the August heat with the hills, but it is an easy two minute drive by car (and there is a large, free car park as you enter the old town so never any parking issues) and if you don't wish to drive then Uber taxis are readily available. The villa, pool and garden are all immaculately maintained and fully equipped with everything you could need including the small touches you would find in a hotel, like robes and slippers. There is a welcome pack on arrival of all essentials like milk, butter, juice etc. The villa is also well stocked with items such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, kitchen roll and so on. There are several supermarkets in the area and a nice bakery a very short distance away. Emma, the property manager is lovely to deal with and will respond to any query or request extremely efficiently and quickly. She will happily give recommendations and advice on shopping, restaurants, etc. All in all, the villa is exactly the same as the photos and description and has an amazing view of the old town from the terrace, living area and two of the bedrooms. A great find which we would recommend and stay in again!

Beautiful Villa
The villa was gorgeous and certainly lived up to our expectations. The gardens and pool were beautiful, and we spent most afternoons lounging around it. The view over the old town of Mougins was spectacular whether eating breakfast or dinner. Numerous recommendations for restaurants and things to do nicely collated in the information pack. We can't recommend this property highly enough, and hope to return one day.

beautiful property
This house is in a great position, very close to the old town of Mougins - a 2 minute drive (We thought we might try walking, but the lack of pavements and driving style of the locals, put us off that idea after the first attempt!). The house is immaculate and so are the beautiful grounds, Emma is excellent support and very responsive, and we also want to call out the hard work of Christal (apologies, not sure of spelling) who came to clean twice a week. The view of Mougins old town is amazing, and you also have a view of the sea. There are many wonderful restaurants in Mougins, we particularly liked sitting on the terrace at L'Amandier. We have previously stayed in Cannes and Chateauneuf, and would describe this place as somewhere between the busy of Cannes and the peace and quiet of Chateauneuf. Thank you for the opportunity of staying in this beautiful house.

Absolutely stunning retreat!
Wonderfully appointed villa retreat. Emma, the property manager, greeted us and helped us settle into the property after a chaotic and delayed day of travel. The villa and grounds are beautiful and private. It was a wonderful escape! A group of 7 of us, we found that there was enough space for alone time but enough room for us to gather together. The pool was perfect. It was the perfect spot from which to explore Mougins and all the Côte d’Azur has to offer. Everything was clean and well appointed. The owners were wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this villa and look forward to a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Alastair Walmsley

Host profile image
Hi! I`m Alastair. My wife, Sue, and I bought Villa Oleander in Mougins with Paul and his wife, Leony, in 2007. I have known Paul since I was 4 years old, and he and I manage all the issues involved in renting our villa out to others. I am a chartered accountant and he is a general dental practitioner.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to find a location and villa that we would never tire of revisiting. That location had to be the South of France because of its year round appeal - there is so much more to do than just sunbathe. Mougins, I think, has the perfect location on the Riviera - centrally placed for Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez and everywhere in between. Our villa feels like it is in the heart of Provence, yet it is only 10 minutes from the Med and 20 minutes from Nice International Airport. Oh, and it just happens to have a picture perfect medieval village famed for its excellent restaurants! Not to mention the golf courses!

What makes this property unique

Equally, Villa Oleander has the perfect position in Mougins. It is within easy walking distance of the Old Village yet perched up to have the perfect view over the village with the Mediterranean Sea in the background and the Esterel mountains to the west. All the main rooms open to this south facing view, and there is nothing quite like watching the sun going down and the village light up at night whilst drinking a glass of wine on the balcony. I will gladly email a panoramic picture of our view - it really is exceptional! We are very proud of our villa and love to stay there with our families, but take pleasure from the fact that when we can`t be there, others are enjoying it too. I am more than happy to chat with anyone who thinks they may be interested in staying there.
