Close to Cannes and the hilltop village of Mougins, this fine family villa is perfect for relaxing holidays on the French Riviera with its fantastic features, gorgeous swimming pool and terraces.
Newly renovated Villa Lys sleeps up to 10 guests across its four air-conditioned bedrooms, including a master double upstairs with a balcony and en suite jacuzzi bathroom. There’s a vast amount of space across the interior-designed open-plan living and dining room with doors sliding open to the covered dining terrace and swimming pool. The elegant kitchen features Smeg appliances, a wine fridge and ice-maker. We also love the desk area at the other end of the villa which opens to an outdoor lounge and firepit (for winter stays).
Heading down to the basement, guests of all ages will appreciate the table tennis and the stylish cinema room whilst there is state-of-the-art gym equipment in the converted garage. That said, no doubt most of your time will surely be spent outside on one of the attractive terraces, lazing in the good-sized swimming pool or relaxing in the heated jacuzzi. Palm and olive trees are dotted across the south-facing garden and youngsters can play on the trampoline just beyond the shaded outdoor kitchen.
In a residential setting around 10km from Cannes, you can stroll to one of two bakeries in the nearby area whilst the restaurants and amenities of charming Mouans-Sartoux can be reached within a very short drive. Experience the art galleries and gastronomic restaurants of nearby Mougins, one of the French Riviera’s most loved hilltop villages, and head to the Provençal Friday morning market in historic Valbonne, close to the natural beauty of the Valmasque forest.
Spend time on the palm-fringed beaches in and around Cannes, visit its vibrant Marché Forville, soak up the glamour of Cannes’ restaurants, bars and boutiques and take a boat excursion along the Côte d'Azur. Discover the historic charm of Antibes, dine in a beachside restaurant in Juan-les-Pins or even venture as far as Nice or Monaco. In the other direction is the idyllic coastline of Théoule-sur-Mer backed by the Estérel massif, yet another highlight of this wonderful part of southern France.
Villa Lys is in a residential area 10km from Cannes, just west of the charming hilltop village of Mougins. This is a great location for visiting the French Riviera and its hinterland.
There are two bakeries within a short distance (300m and 700m) and you can also walk to a pharmacy, fromagerie, wine shop, butchers and fishmongers. A little local restaurant attached to one of the bakeries is also within walking distance. There is a choice of supermarkets within a 5-minute drive. Further amenities and restaurants can be found in and around Mouans-Sartoux (3km), a pleasant village with a historic centre and a train station.
Hilltop Mougins (5km) is a beautiful village with flower-filled lanes, gastronomic restaurants and little art galleries – the village has inspired many artists and writers over the years including Picasso. It’s one of the region’s most loved villages and it is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Valmasque forest, perfect for family walks and longer hikes.
Head towards the coast and spend time in Cannes (10km) whether pottering around boutiques, exploring the traditional old quarter, soaking up the ambience of the bustling market or admiring mega-yachts by the marina. There is a good choice of seasonal watersports in and around the palm-fringed beaches of Cannes alongside boat trips along the Côte d'Azur and across to the tranquil Lérins Islands.
Juan-les-Pins (17km) is a chic seaside town loved by Parisians in the summer. Enjoy lunch out in one of the beachside restaurants then partake in more water-based activities and boat excursions. Take time to appreciate the historic charm of Antibes (20km) with its warren of medieval lanes.
Continue onwards towards the wonderful city of Nice (35km), gorgeous Villefranche-sur-Mer (44km), the beautiful beaches of Beaulieu-sur-Mer (45km) or even as far as Monaco, around an hour away by car. In the other direction, the idyllic coastline around Théoule-sur-Mer (24km) is worth discovering with pretty bays and incredible hiking opportunities, backed by the Estérel massif.
Heading inland, experience the Friday morning market in the historic town of Valbonne (10km), visit the perfume studios of Grasse (12km) and experience the stunning surroundings of Lac de Saint-Cassien (40km), perhaps combined with a trip to one of the picture-perfect villages in the Pays de Fayence (including Seillans, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages').

Having been fortunate enough to stay in your fabulous villa for a week in August, 2023 I cannot recommend it highly enough. It goes above and beyond all expectations in size, spaciousness, décor, luxury, practicality and amenities. The layout is superb and you have thought of absolutely everything, including the heated pool, jacuzzi, outdoor heated shower and magnificent patios with sunbathing, lounging and dining areas as well as the outdoor kitchen, not to mention the luxurious cinema room, gym, spa and recreational area and I loved the bright, modern kitchen with loads of seating and view of the pool with its atmospheric lighting. My family and I just wish we could have stayed there all summer and would love to return and explore the surrounding area with everything it has to offer.

Fantastic villa! We have now stayed twice at this beautifully and thoughtfully designed home. It is well located and convenient but also very private. The facilities are complete with a pool, hot tub, jaccuzzi, sauna, gym cinema room. Great for children and adults. Airy spacious rooms with clean decor. Lovely place to be based for exploring the region or going into Cannes and other local beaches. Highly recommended.

Beautiful paradise for anyone who wishes a pleasant stay with everything for everyone. From a perfect temperature regulated hot-tub, a good sized pool, a trampoline and nice garden areas to a grill, fire-pit, a calming coloured movie room and a very well equipped gym, your stay here is going to make you want to get your camera out and snap shots of the coloured lights that illuminate this magnificent house during the evening and the clear stared skies that you cam enjoy during summer from the pool beds. Your stay is guaranteed to be a peaceful one since the area is very quiet and has easy access to shops, beach, restaurants that will suit everyone’s taste. Would go back anytime I get a chance.
