Minoustan - Self-catering house in Alpes-Maritimes
06510 Gattières, Alpes-Maritimes
Provence - Alps - Riviera,
Francia
Think wisteria, wild cherry, gorse and prickly pear, fig trees, olive trees, palms and pines. And you, lying by the pool, surrounded by terraced gardens running up the hill, the scents of the south tickling the senses and the breezes in the trees to unwind to. As for the villa, there at the top of a 20m drive, it’s a marvel: open, airy, and generous in every way, stylish yet original, immaculate yet laid-back. All generations could happily mingle, just as long as they were sprightly (many outdoor levels). Apart from swimming in that 5m x 15m pool, there’s so much on tap: table tennis, boules, TV, WiFi. The wraparound veranda is long and wide, the terrace is drenched in sun all day, and the kitchen is a hedonist’s delight - cocktail shakers and coffee makers a-go-go! If you tire of cooking, hilltop Saint-Jeannet is a four-minute drive, little Gattières is equally close, and there’s a takeaway pizza place to walk to. Then there are the bedrooms, two at garden level, two below (so your party can be four or nine), bright, modern and delightful - deluxe mattresses, ethnic touches, and bathrooms awash with light.

Local points of interest from Maryam:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Maryam:
- Wake up to the sound of birds chirping in 3500 meters of Mediterranean garden. Have an apéritif serenaded by crickets. Go to sleep with lights twinkling in the valley.
- Go East, cross three countries in 45 minutes: the heart of Nice, bling in Monaco, la dolce vita in Sanremo. Go West, to charming perched villages: Tourette-sur-Loup, Gourdon and breathtaking wild expanses in Préalpes d’Azur.
- Go South, in 30 minutes you are in Cannes. Meander down through delightful Saint Jeannet, medieval mellow Vence, iconic Saint Paul, to the sandy beaches of Antibes. Go North, and ski in rustic Auron or high-tech Isola.
- So many great artists have lived on the French Riviera: there is a quality to the light and the life that is truly magical. All of it, an easy day trip from the villa.
- You choose: gastronomy; international festival; world-class museum; preserved hill-top village; ornate palazzo in exotic gardens; breath-taking scenery; chic private beach or skinny dipping in a waterfall; organic jasmine soap or a diamond bracelet.
