About this property
Featured on Oliver's Travels 2020 TV Advert!
Set in a private and lush family estate featuring the guests' villa and a 13th
century fortress next to it, Bastide des Remparts is a unique and historical
home in a privileged position on the French Riviera with wonderful views over
the ancient trees stretching down towards the sea and just half an hour from
Nice (and only 15min from Nice airport).
A lush and peaceful paradise, the family 8.5 hectare estate is one of the Côte
d’Azur’s oldest and most beautiful properties, surrounded by captivating
landscapes and glorious gardens were you can get lost for hours discovering
it's hundreds of palm trees, ancient olive trees and colourful flowers.
The bastide dates back to 1836 and enjoys a spectacular hilltop location
where you can look out towards the Mediterranean as far as Cap d’Antibes
and Cap Ferrat. Inside you will find an elegant home which has been
beautifully refurbished to provide seven delightful bedrooms, decorated and
furnished with refined taste and character throughout. Downstairs the living
and dining rooms have French doors opening up to Provençal gardens and
there are wonderful spaces to relax outside including a truly remarkable al
fresco dining area where you can feast with family and friends in the shade of
a 250-year old oak tree.
Follow the path through the gardens down to the inviting, large swimming pool
where you can cool off from the warm summer sun or laze on the poolside
terrace and pool house with mesmerising views of the surrounding gardens
and sea.
Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary case of Crus Classés wine.
You may also arrange a private tour of the estate's 13th century fortress and
gardens whilst special drink receptions or dinners can be set up on the
ramparts for a memorable event. You have full access to the château’s
gardens and the ramparts, which is just a 1-minute walk from the villa.
The estate is part of a charming hilltop village, Villeneuve Loubet, where you
will find flower filled lanes, restaurants, a bakery and a butcher as well as a
Provençal market twice a week. From the estate’s gate you can follow a 3km
path down the hill through the woods to reach the beaches of Villeneuve Loubet and a seaside resort with family-friendly activities, restaurants, watersports and a marina.
Set between Cannes and Nice, the entire Côte d’Azur can be reached such as
the seaside towns of nearby Cagnes-sur-Mer and Antibes as well as hillside
villages including artistic St Paul de Vence and Grasse, known for its perfume
heritage and fields of lavender amongst olive groves and vineyards. Heading
further towards the rugged interiors will bring you the Gorges du Loup where
you can swim from the rocks or head to Gourdon for spectacular views of the
French Riviera.
Bastide des Remparts is set in 8.5 hectares of enclosed parkland and grounds
featuring a 13th century medieval fortress/château, private tours are available

lanes filled with flowers and a beautiful 19th century church. Enjoy dining in an
authentic restaurant, pick up delicacies in the bakery, butchers or grocery
store and there is a lovely market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning, as
well as a Brocante (antiques and flea market) closer to the coast on some
Sundays.

and down the hill to take you to the beaches and family-friendly activities of

(aged 8+). The village contains a wide range of other sport activities such as
tennis courts, bike-hire (with marked circuits between the village, beach and
beyond), urban soccer, golf practice and horse-riding.

Guests who love golf will appreciate the courses across the Cote d’Azur from
nearby Golf de Biot (10km) to Royal Mougins Golf Resort (25km) within half an
hour, amongst many others.

Riviera, both along the coast and inland. The seaside resorts of Cagnes-sur
Mer (4km) and Antibes (12km) offer wonderful beaches, more watersports,
water parks (Marineland) and other family-friendly activities as well as historic
and interesting old towns. When in Antibes, don’t miss some of the chic bars
and fashionable nightclubs in Juan-les-Pins just to the south whilst keen
walkers should follow the path to the beautiful Cap d'Antibes with tremendous
views.

wander down La Croisette, the glamour-drenched promenade and beautiful
Nice (15km) is also a short drive where you can explore the maze of narrow
streets in the old town and discover the amazing market. A little further in
Villefranche-sur-Mer (22km) you can walk up to the stunning Saint Jean Cap
Ferrat peninsula, an unmissable day out.
If you wish to head inland to the rugged interior of the Alpes-Maritimes head to
