Within an exclusive complex of modern apartments, this home sits at the foothills of the Alps, close to the sparkling Cote d’Azur. It’s an eight-minute drive into the pretty valley town of Vence, where honey-hued buildings hide myriad restaurants, bars and cafés for a day’s perusal. A fifteen-minute drive takes you to Cagnes-sur-Mer where art lovers can browse the Renoir Museum and beach bunnies can hit the soft sand.

Back at the apartment, you’ve got access to a fabulous shared swimming pool, which sits at the heart of the complex. There are sports grounds, playgrounds and acres of Mediterranean gardens to explore too. Your base is a Scandi-chic apartment with a sleek white kitchen for quick meals, a dove-grey sofa to unwind and quiet bedrooms. There’s a little balcony out the front for a breath of fresh air too.
