This charming, three-storey, six-bedroom Belle Époque villa is situated only minutes from the centre of Vence, CÔte d’Azur, located high in the hills between Nice and Antibes. It boasts both a South facing pool and an unusually expansive garden, given its edge-of-town location.
The previous owners had already done major landscaping works to the gardens, softening a previous series of dry-stone wall ‘restanques’ into a gently sloping lawn and planting intelligently, including some stand-out mature palm trees.
‘The beautiful, elegant fascia of the property has remained unchanged,’ David Price, Founder of David Price Design, commented, with reference to the architectural works to the property, ‘with classic shuttered windows and a cast-iron balconied first floor. Changes were made, however, to the extension to the right of the main house as you face it, where
the kitchen and the dining room are located, subtly increasing the size of the kitchen and putting in new large glass folding doors at the front and a new side window to maximise natural light and create easy access to the garden.
