Le Mas des Cigales — Character bastide, sea view

Description

Set in the hills above Vence, just a short distance from the historic heart of the town, this stone bastide embodies the timeless elegance of the Côte d’Azur. Roman roof tiles, a weathered stone façade, and bougainvillea cascading over the wrought-iron balconies: Provençal architecture is here elevated to its finest expression.

The property opens onto an exceptional panorama. Facing it, the Mediterranean stretches out as far as the eye can see. On the other side, Vence reveals itself in all its splendour — its ramparts, the Matisse Chapel, the hills of the hinterland — offering a rare double perspective, from the bedrooms as much as from the terraces.

The infinity pool, bordered by a stone terrace and a pergola, sits naturally within this setting. The garden, planted with palm trees, magnolias, cypresses and centuries-old olive trees, lends the property a carefully preserved intimacy, in the purest Mediterranean spirit.

The interior carries this same attention to detail: stone archways, lime-washed walls, travertine floors and herringbone parquet. Tastefully chosen furnishings — solid wood, kilim rugs, rattan, linen — create an atmosphere that is both warm and refined. The kitchen, fully renovated in a clean, contemporary style, sits in elegant dialogue with the authentic character of the rest of the house.

The main villa comprises 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including 2 suites, a living/dining room and a pantry. Two independent outbuildings (14 sqm and 26 sqm) allow for entertaining in the best conditions, or for a potential rental use.

The property is sold fully furnished and decorated — an exceptional home, ready to be lived in without delay.
