In amongst the squares, shops, and cafes of Vence on the French Riviera is a jewel of modern art and architecture. It was here that the painter Matisse designed and constructed his celebrated chapel, the Chapelle du Rosaire, with its beautiful, simple lines and motif stain-glass windows. Within walking distance of this celebrated work is Villa Malvan. A smart and well-equipped six-bedroom property, with heated swimming pool and views to the sea, set in three hectares of terraced grounds and edged with woodland.
Interiors are light and airy and decorated with comfortable furnishings and neutral fabrics. A formal dining room opens out onto an outdoor covered terrace, from where views extend across the grounds and swimming pool to light woodland. Bedrooms are air-conditioned, have en suite bathrooms and queen-size double beds, all newly furnished with high-quality beds and linens. A master bedroom has its own private terrace and views to the sea on the horizon.
