Bayview, Villefranche sur Mer

Description

The clue is in the name. Staying here, you will enjoy what is arguably the finest ocean view in the south of France. Wherever you are at Bayview – lounging on the sun terrace, enjoying an afternoon snooze in your room, or watching TV in the vast living area – the Villefranche Sur Mer coastline and azure ocean seem to leap through every window.

Built high up above the coastline, Bayview is a stunning contemporary luxury villa. Rough stone meets smooth wood-decked sun terraces and polished floors. Pale creams and greys contrast with black structural pillars and rich colours in the bedrooms. The huge glass windows ensure the place is bathed in daylight, turning to electric blue after sundown.

Out is as good as in, with several sun terraces to play on, a sumptuous swimming pool (complete with pool house), lush roof-garden and expansive landscaped grounds. St Jean Cap Ferrat is spread below the villa, so the view at night is just as appealing, lights twinkling against green hills, and yachts clinking in the bay.

There are two beautifully equipped kitchens, where you can watch as your own private chef rustles up breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dining is part of the pleasure here, whether you choose to eat al fresco, or around the black dining table indoors. There are as many sofas outside as in, so cocktails can be served anywhere: by the pool, on the terrace, or sitting with your toes in the grass.

Bayview has been designed to feel spacious despite its cliff-side location – with a car turntable outside, even the parking is clever. This is a little private paradise to stretch out in and relax. And however long you stay, you’ll never tire of the view
