Turquoise Pastures in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Turquoise Pastures Self-Catering

Just a short drive from the charming village of Saint-Paul-De-Vence, this beautifully appointed villa is a calming place from which to explore the idyllic countryside and dazzling Côte d'Azur. The interiors are wonderfully bright and open – we loved the sleek sliding glass doors and polished wood flooring. Spend relaxing mornings clutching your fresh coffee on the bedroom balconies, as you take in far-reaching sea and mountain views.

When you're ready to start your day, step down for a refreshing dip in the private swimming pool, or head for the coast. Spend unhurried afternoons lazing on Plage de la Serre, before exploring gorgeous Nice. Locally, you'll also be able to view a stunning collection of modern art at the famous Maeght Foundation, a ten-minute drive from the villa.
