Villa De La Magie | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Cabris

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa De La Magie in Cabris, and the first thing that happens is conversation stops. The Côte d’Azur unfolds across terraced olive groves on the hillside; a 19th-century stone villa with blue-shuttered windows sits anchored to its landscape like it grew there. This is a luxury villa rental Cabris that trades the coast’s clamour for something quieter: the sound of cicadas, the scent of rosemary, the kind of space where a large group actually relaxes instead of competing for bathrooms.

Inside Villa De La Magie

Villa De La Magie sleeps 14 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct buildings designed so families and friends groups never feel cramped.

The main house anchors the property. Ground level holds a living room with a working fireplace and sound system—the sort of room where evening aperitifs linger into conversation. French doors open onto a stone terrace and a pergola draped for al-fresco breakfast. The kitchen is open-plan to the dining area, properly equipped for groups: the kind of kitchen that makes even reluctant cooks volunteer for dinner duty. An office with a laser printer sits ready for those who cannot completely disconnect. A WC completes the ground floor.

The upper floor is accessed via a separate entrance, with a hallway lounge that becomes an informal gathering space. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and its own en-suite bathroom opening to a private terrace—the sort of retreat a primary guest actually uses. A second upper-floor bedroom has a king-size bed and private en-suite bathroom. The top floor houses two additional bedrooms with double beds that share a fully appointed bathroom, ideal for younger guests or mixed groups.

A two-storey stone cottage positioned just behind the main house adds character and separation. It contains a ground-level living area and kitchenette with doors to its own rustic terrace, plus a bedroom upstairs with a grand king-size bed and en-suite bathroom. This building easily functions as independent quarters for guests seeking privacy.

A third annexe—a pretty stone structure—offers one more double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and its own small terrace. Between the main house’s careful blend of period features and modern amenities (cable TV with English channels, central sound system, remote-controlled air-conditioning units in bedrooms), and the cottage’s rustic authenticity, guests experience both historic Provençal character and 21st-century comfort.

At the terraced gardens’ lower level sits the pool house, which many guests consider the property’s best-kept secret. It contains an open-plan living-dining room with a sofa-bed, television, and sound system, plus a fully equipped kitchen and shower room. This structure becomes a second social hub: lounging after swimming, serving dinner during weather shifts, providing late-night space for guests who want to continue conversations after others retire.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden transforms Villa De La Magie from rental to sanctuary. Terraced olive trees climb the hillside in neat geometric rows—the property’s most striking visual feature. Fragrant herb beds release scent underfoot. A tall pine provides afternoon shade. Stone steps wind through plantings toward the property’s heart: a 5 by 11-metre heated swimming pool (available May through September, warming available on request) with an integrated safety alarm.

The pool’s al-fresco dining terrace contains a full barbecue station—the sort of setup where casual lunches become evening events. The pergola near the main house provides shade-dappled breakfast settings with views across the countryside. Garden design throughout balances manicured landscaping with wild Provençal planting, creating both formality and ease.

Parking accommodates group arrivals without clutter: a garage with electric car charging and space for 3-4 vehicles, plus 5 additional spaces distributed across the property (3 on lower level, 2 on upper), accessed via an electric gate at pool level.

Location: Cabris and the Surrounding Area

Cabris sits 7 kilometres from Grasse, the Côte d’Azur’s perfume capital, where the Musée International de la Parfumerie and heritage factories including Galimard and Fragonard reveal centuries of olfactory tradition. The town itself—built around a cathedral and ringed with morning markets selling local produce and flowers year-round—offers proper restaurants and cafés alongside its fragrant heritage.

The perched village 2.5 kilometres uphill from Villa De La Magie (accessible by car in 5 minutes or on foot in 30 minutes for keen walkers) contains the narrow lanes, terrace cafés, and artist studios typical of inland Provence. The panoramic views across the hinterland explain why painters and writers have been drawn here for generations.

Within 15 kilometres, Valbonne offers a historic market town atmosphere with Friday morning markets that local residents recommend highly. Mougins—Picasso’s adopted village—lies 14 kilometres away, famous for gastronomy and contemporary art galleries. Seillans, 30 kilometres distant, is classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, with winding stone streets and a hilltop setting that rewards exploration. Fayence, Spéracèdes, and Callian form a triangle of similar villages dotting the landscape.

Water recreation centers on Lac de Saint-Cassien, 12 kilometres away, where marked hiking trails wind through Tanneron forests, summer watersports operate from June through September, and lakeside beaches provide freshwater swimming. The Valmasque forest offers additional walking routes for various fitness levels.

Antibes, slightly further east, preserves a walled historic centre, operates a Picasso Museum, and hosts a superyacht marina. Juan-les-Pins provides excellent family beaches and a full range of watersports. Cap d’Antibes features more dramatic coves and quieter swimming. Boat departures from along this coast offer whale and dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and trips to the Lérins Islands.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find Villa De La Magie works exceptionally well: grandparents claim the master bedroom with its terrace, adult children occupy the upper-floor doubles, younger guests take the top-floor rooms (shared bathroom works fine for age-similar guests), and the cottage provides either privacy for parents with small children or additional adult quarters. The multiple kitchen facilities mean meal preparation doesn’t bottleneck around a single cook.

Groups of six to eight friends rent the main house profitably while maintaining independence. The cottage and annexe easily convert to guest accommodation or remain closed, reducing utility costs.

Multi-family holidays work smoothly: one family occupies the cottage (its own terrace, kitchenette, and bathroom mean minimal shared-space friction), another claims the main house’s upper floor, a third uses the top-floor bedrooms. The pool house becomes communal gathering space rather than anyone’s private territory.

Couples seeking a larger property for milestone celebrations (anniversaries, retirements) benefit from the master bedroom’s privacy, extensive entertaining space, and capacity to invite nearby friends or family for day visits without accommodation pressure.

Remote workers and couples mixing leisure with productivity appreciate the ground-floor office with its laser printer, reliable Wi-Fi throughout, and cafés in nearby villages for alternative working environments.
