Villa Elegance | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Antibes

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Elegance on Cap d’Antibes and immediately understand why this Mediterranean-facing property has remained in the same family for generations. You’re standing on a coastal peninsula where the 1920s refuse to fade entirely, where the marina sits mere metres away and the view extends across the Bay of Cannes toward Île Sainte-Marguerite. A luxury villa rental in Antibes demands more than location—it demands character—and this recently restored residence delivers both in abundant measure.

Inside Villa Elegance

Villa Elegance sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct living levels. The main floor opens via exterior steps into a layout designed for both intimacy and congregation. The primary living room commands the sea views; a 65-inch television sits ready for those rare moments when the marina vista loses appeal. French windows open directly onto garden steps, creating a threshold between interior refinement and Mediterranean air. The second lounge provides breathing room for larger groups, furnished with a 55-inch screen and dining capacity, allowing simultaneous activities without compromise.

The kitchen occupies the heart of the main floor—an open-plan space where Smeg appliances sit alongside wrap-around terrace access. This is the kind of culinary space where home cooks discover previously untapped ambition and professional chefs accept dinner duty with visible enthusiasm. Green marble flooring runs across much of this level, cool beneath bare feet, complemented by air-conditioning that hums silently through all spaces.

Two bedrooms anchor the main floor. The first features a 140cm double bed with garden views and television access; the second contains bunk beds (90x200cm each), positioned for children or flexible sleeping arrangements. Both access the wrap-around terrace. A guest WC and family bathroom with walk-in shower and double sink complete the ground level.

Upstairs splits into four bedrooms across two distinct configurations. The first master suite features a 160cm queen bed, television, and a bathroom containing both a soaking bath and walk-in shower with double sink—this space opens to a shared balcony overlooking the Bay of Cannes. An identical second master bedroom mirrors this arrangement. Two additional queen bedrooms (160cm beds each) feature individual balconies and a shared bathroom with walk-in shower and double sink. The upstairs hallway functions as a buffer zone, creating privacy between sleeping quarters while maintaining the villa’s open flow.

Throughout the interior, original artwork and family-owned pieces occupy walls and surfaces alongside contemporary furnishings. Vintage charm coexists without conflict alongside modern comfort. Television appears in five rooms but never intrudes; gaming consoles, board games, and Wi-Fi connectivity offer alternatives for groups seeking engagement rather than screen time.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden descends from the main floor toward a heated swimming pool (6×4 metres, depth graduated from 0.4 to 1.8 metres) surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. This isn’t a small plunge pool—it’s a proper swimming rectangle with safety alarm, where multiple guests can genuinely swim rather than wade. The terrace wraps the pool in shade and seating; the Mediterranean air carries the salt-tang of the nearby marina mixed with whatever herbs thrive in the coastal garden.

An outdoor kitchen and dining area anchors the poolside—both a gas barbecue and a Big Green Egg charcoal unit sit ready for dinner service. Summer dining here happens with uninterrupted marina views, the kind of setting that explains why coastal real estate commands premium prices. Parking accommodates four or more vehicles, discreetly positioned away from the main entertaining spaces.

Location: Antibes and the Surrounding Area

Cap d’Antibes positions Villa Elegance at the heart of French Riviera prestige. The villa sits slightly elevated above the coastal road, yet a five-minute stroll reaches the marina where boats bob gently at their moorings. Within metres sits a high-end hotel featuring a Michelin-starred restaurant alongside a seasonal beach club serving mezzes and cocktails; beyond this lies a small beach where locals gather at sunset for the light show across the water.

Juan-les-Pins, the chic seaside resort celebrated for summer waterfront dining, lies a 15-minute walk away. Belle Rives Plage—open June through August—serves sophisticated fare with feet in the sand, approximately a 10-minute stroll from Villa Elegance. The town pulses with watersports, seasonal nightlife, and hosts the internationally renowned jazz festival each July, historically attracting world-class musicians.

The iconic Cap d’Antibes coastal path originates at Plage de la Garoupe (2.3km away), where Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Picasso once gathered. This rugged stone trail winds along the peninsula with dramatic Mediterranean vistas, passing the private beach clubs of Plage Keller and overlooking the Baie des Milliardaires d’Antibes before circling back to the villa—an afternoon’s natural exploration without leaving the immediate vicinity.

Antibes town centre (2.5km) preserves its historic citadel with narrow lanes, a daily Provençal market, the Musée Picasso, and countless restaurants ranging from casual bistros to fine dining. The National Picasso Museum in nearby Vallauris (7km) attracts art-focused visitors; the Fondation Maeght outside Saint-Paul-de-Vence (20km) extends this cultural reach into the hinterland’s artistic villages.

Cannes (10km) offers palm-fringed beaches and the glamour associated with its film festival; Nice (24km) provides cosmopolitan dining and cultural attractions; Monaco (45km) remains within day-trip distance. Inland villages including Mougins, Biot, and Valbonne showcase hilltop architecture, galleries, and gastronomic restaurants within 30 minutes’ drive.
