Renovated Provençal Villa
Fully renovated five-bedroom villa set on a 3,000 sqm terraced garden between the mountains and the sea, 15 minutes' walk from Vence town centre and 25 minutes from Nice Airport.
The 250 sqm villa comprises five bedrooms and five bathrooms across two independent living areas, each with its own entrance and parking. The ground-floor accommodation — three bedrooms, three bathrooms, private garden and south-facing sea-view terrace — currently operates as a licensed holiday let with a fully booked season on the books, offering a ready-made income stream alongside private use.
Four terraces cover a range of orientations and uses: two south-facing terraces with sea views for outdoor dining, a shaded terrace and a smaller terrace facing the gardens, and a sunny terrace adjoining the studio with mountain and river views. The property has direct private access to a river with two natural plunge pools.

Villa Vence is set in the hills of the Alpes-Maritimes, in the medieval town of Vence — long known as the Riviera's "City of Art" for the artists and writers it has drawn over the centuries, among them Matisse, Chagall, and Dufy. Matisse's Chapelle du Rosaire and a Chagall mosaic in the town's cathedral remain among its landmarks today, alongside a walled historic centre, shaded squares, and a lively daily market at Place du Grand Jardin.
The property is just a 15-minute walk from this town centre, with its restaurants, cafés, markets, and shops. Vence sits at the meeting point of the coast and the Pre-Alps, giving it a mild microclimate and views that stretch to the Mediterranean, while remaining quieter and less crowded than nearby Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The coast and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport are both within a 25-minute drive, placing the villa within easy reach of the Riviera's beaches and international travel connections while retaining the privacy and tranquillity of its elevated, garden setting.
