Vacation Rental Description
Olivada is a family home (400m2) in the foothills behind Cannes, where you can relax and be comfortable with family and friends. A spacious 4 bedroom villa on a south-facing plot of 7300m2 with landscaped garden and large heated pool. The house was built 5 years ago on the site of an old vineyard, and unusually for this region is on a completely flat land, surrounded by Olive Groves. The villages of Valbonne, Mougins and Opio are nearby; and within a 20-minute drive you will find a selection of sporting facilities; golf, tennis, horse riding and water sports. Nice International Airport is 20 minutes away, and you are only 11km from the Croissette in Cannes. A wonderful summer retreat - in the country but close to the buzz of the Riviera when you want it. Within walking distance you have a choice of restaurants, a boulangerie, fruit shop, butchers, cave, and a small supermarket. All around you are wonderful views over the Southern Alps and the Gorge du Loup. Perfect for outdoor living.

Unusually for this region, the garden is completely flat. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, making this suitable for those who prefer not to climb stairs.
The outside areas at Olivada are simply stunning. In the Courtyard we have a large table which is perfect for dining in the evening under the stars. The pool House is 60sq.m, with a large glass table that seats 8-10 people. A large gas-fired BBQ is available, along with a summer kitchen with dishwasher, sink and gas hob. Everything you need for out-door dining - and with fabulous views over the Gorge du Loup. There is a large cupboard for storing the lounger covers, and bikes (for your use, but you need to like cycling up and down hills!) as well as a changing room with shower, basin and wc. A table tennis table is on the large terrace next to the pool - great fun for young and old alike...
The heated, tiled, pool is 14m by 6m, with in-pool seating area. Pool alarm.

The Croissette at Cannes is 11km away - and you can easily reach the beaches along the Cote d'Azur by car within 15 - 20 minutes.
In addition to the many public beaches, you have a selection of private beaches to choose from, beach side restaurants and bars, and of course numerous water sports.
Within 15 minutes drive of the villa, you have 7 superb golf courses. The owner is a keen golfer, please contact us for details or to book tee-times for you. Two sets of golf clubs (ladies and gents) are available for your use during your stay. All that we ask is the you leave them as you find them.
Nice Cote d'Azur airport is 20 minutes by car.
Public transport in the area is limited, so a car is essential. You can, however, drive to the nearby station at Mouans Sartoux and take the train along the coast to Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco and off into the Italian Riviera - or head inland to Grasse.
