Map & local information

The property is located on a small residential lane in the countryside between Valbonne and Opio, 20 min from Cannes.

All amenities in beautiful Valbonne (25 min walk or 2 min drive); wonderful selection of restaurants, café bars, artisan shops and summer cultural events. Shops and supermarket.

Grasse 10 min with its lovely perfumeries.
Biot - famous for its glass blowing and ceramics

Grande Bastide exclusive golf club lies at the end of the lane.

To the south, only 20 min away, is the city of Cannes with its yachts, fine-sand beaches and luxury shopping.

World renowned for its glitzy exterior, Cannes is also a place of great cultural heritage. On a small hill above the port of Cannes is "le Souquet", Cannes' oldest quarter. During the 11th Century this was inhabited by the monks from Îles de Lerins after their island was raided by Saracens. Watch towers now provide views over the Mediterranean.

Whether it is glitz and glamour, shopping or culture you are looking for, you will find it all in Cannes.

Nearby Antibes (Cap d'Antibes & Juan-les-Pins) is located on the Mediterranean coast, between Cannes and Nice. It is the third largest town on the Côte d'Azur. Its name comes from the Greek 'Antipolis' which means 'opposite' (here, facing the city of Nice).

This is where the very rich and the very successful gather. All amenities with many pretty squares and narrow streets. Traditional markets and pavement cafés and restaurants. Excellent nightlife.

Despite its glamorous location, Antibes is relatively un-touristy. It is primarily a yachting town. Port Vauban is truly the centre of Mediterranean yachting. Worth a visit just to look at the boats on 'millionaires row'.

Marineland is the biggest marine show in Europe with dolphins, whales and sea-lions etc. Large water-park, 'Aquasplash' with water-chutes, wave pool and further attractions.

Picasso Museum with more than 50 original works.

To the east, about a 30-minute drive away, is Nice, with its international airport, pebble beaches and the bustle of a busy city.

Client comments

"We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance and to let you know what a great experience we had renting a home abroad.
We had never done so before as we always stay in hotels. It was a great experience in large part due to Victoria's management of Villa Châteauneuf.
She was very helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable and made our stay very comfortable and carefree.
We were greeted with warmth and the provisions supplied were generous and thoughtful. The house was clean and nicely stocked. Her professionalism should be commended. Hope we can come back to France in the near future. Thank you again."
