With panoramic views towards Cap d’Antibes and Nice from its rooftop terrace, this Côte d'Azur luxury villa is an incredible place to stay just a short drive from the glamour of Cannes.

Alongside six sumptuous double bedrooms with gorgeous bath or shower rooms, guests will also love the home cinema lounge, the spa with a hammam, sauna and jacuzzi alongside an office area with uninterrupted high-speed Wi-Fi.
The heated salt-water swimming pool is idyllic, as are the outdoor jacuzzi and picturesque terraces for poolside al-fresco dining and lounging. There is outdoor fitness equipment, a range of outdoor games or you may prefer to simply immerse yourself in the serene natural surroundings of the vast landscaped gardens with direct access to a 3-hectare public park, hiking circuit and Roman remains. End the day admiring the ever-changing colour of the sky with a glass of champagne on the rooftop terrace before dining al-fresco beneath the stars.

In the other direction be allured by upmarket Cannes whilst even closer is the bustling French Riviera town of Vallauris where Picasso once lived, home of the Musée National Pablo Picasso and also known for its ceramic studios.
Find yourself lazing on the sandy shores of the Côte d'Azur, touring the Mediterranean coast by private yacht charter or visiting the art galleries and gastronomic restaurants of the hinterland – Mougins, Vence, St Paul de Vence are all picture-perfect days out.
Experience the ambience of Valbonne’s delightful Provençal market on a Friday morning, head to the perfume studios of Grasse or even venture to Nice and Monaco before returning to the splendid surroundings of your French Riviera holiday abode.
Between Cannes and Antibes, less than 5km from the French Riviera coastline, Villa Albertine is in the heights of Vallauris with panoramic views towards the mountains and Mediterranean.
Part of a secured domaine, the natural beauty of this region is easily reached – the villa has direct access to a 3-hectare forested park with a hiking circuit and Roman remains. Within a 2.5km drive you will be in the heart of the French Riviera town of Vallauris, famed for its Picasso associations and ceramic studios alongside atmospheric restaurants and shops. The Musée National Pablo Picasso is just over 2km away whilst the seaside resort of Golfe-Juan and its marina are only ten minutes by car.
Heading west, Cannes (9km) and its iconic boulevard, La Croisette, is also a short drive away.
