Maison Verte France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Built in 1905, this century-old masterpiece located just 2km from Saint-Paul de Vence, offers guests spacious and comfortable living with some of the most beautiful views of Provence.
Recently renovated with care, the owners have enhanced its modern comforts whilst retaining its original character and charm. The spacious living space on the first-floor is a colourful and lively embodiment of the vibrant world outside!
There is a sense of energy throughout the home, inside and out, with large double interior doors allowing conversation and warmth to flow effortlessly throughout, and all manner of thriving plants across the grounds. The living area leads directly onto the first-floor balcony, from which you can enjoy unparalleled views of the surrounding countryside as far as the distant sea.
Meanwhile, on the ground floor, two of the characterful bedrooms have direct access to a terrace decked in plants and flowers of all kinds, providing a close connection with the natural world. All four bedrooms, including two on the first floor, have ensuite bath or shower rooms, each one a little unique but equally comfortable.
Finally, the gem in the crown of this delightful home is the grounds and swimming pool, beautifully landscaped and offering truly breath-taking, panoramic views, taking in both the Mediterranean sea in the distance and the nearby mountains. Whatever you’re into, be it sunbathing by the swimming pool or engaging in lively discussion around the al-fresco dinner table, you will find your perfect spot among the plants and flowers of Maison Verte.
What’s more, you’re within walking distance to some pretty shops and restaurants and under 2km from the famous village of Saint Paul de Vence, often considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Provence.
