LES DEUX FRÈRES

There are surprisingly few villas in the Mediterranean that can truly be described as being on the beach — nowhere more so than in the South of France, making it especially pleasing to recommend Les Deux Frères, a contemporary villa accommodating up to 12 guests. Just a few steps lead from the property down to a sandy cove, where clear waters offer the perfect opportunity for a swim before breakfast.

For those who prefer to avoid sandy feet, the villa also features a large, heated pool overlooking the Bay of Cannes, complete with shaded sun loungers and shallow access.

Inside, the open-plan living areas are largely found on the ground floor, including a smart, well-equipped kitchen that opens onto the upper outdoor terrace, perfect for dining with sea views.

The entire upper floor is dedicated to the master bedroom suite, featuring a king-size bed, separate dressing room and bathroom, along with fabulous views through retractable windows stretching as far as the Îles de Lérins on the horizon.

The lower ground level houses three further bedrooms, with easy access to the pool area, along with a bar area, gym, home cinema, and wellness space complete with sauna and shower.

Within the grounds, a separate, independent studio apartment offers ideal accommodation for teenagers or staff.
