DETAILS & AMENITIES

Domaine des Parfums is the result of the passion of its well-travelled owners who, captivated by this enchanting area many years ago, decided to build their own beautiful home after a decade of memorable holidays. The outcome is truly extraordinary, offering everything one could dream of for a stay in the South of France – exquisite interiors, panoramic countryside views, and a breathtaking infinity pool – all within four hectares of lush terraced gardens, just a 30-minute drive from Cannes and Grasse.

Featuring seven en-suite bedrooms across three floors, stylish living spaces, a wine cellar, and cinema room, this haven caters to everyone, whether you’re with family or friends. Children can delight in the tree-house, play boules, or explore the varied gardens adorned with fig, olive, and cherry trees, as well as the sweet scent of lavender.

Descend the grand stone steps to the enchanting swimming pool with expansive views, rest in the shade of the covered poolside lounge area, or bask in the glorious French sunshine. Evenings can be spent under the star-filled sky on the large al-fresco terrace with a barbecue, seamlessly connected to the elegant kitchen and overlooking the magnificent pool.

Despite the tranquility of the surrounding countryside, you’re only a five-minute drive from the nearby hilltop village of Montauroux, a hidden gem with charming restaurants, a bakery, market, and small grocery shops. Loved by Christian Dior, who built a château nearby, the village is now the private estate for Christian Dior Parfum, where A-list celebrities are often seen mingling in style.

Activities abound within a short drive, from horse-riding, biking, and hiking to boating and swimming in Lac de Saint Cassien. Golf enthusiasts will find paradise with nearby courses, including the prestigious Terre Blanche, and for a unique experience, one of the world’s best gliding schools is just minutes away in Fayence. Moreover, you’re just a thirty-minute drive from the Mediterranean coast, with charming Saint-Raphaël and the glamour of Cannes within easy reach.

This is indeed a Provençal paradise, a special home in an idyllic location so close to charming hilltop villages and stunning scenery. It’s the perfect base to explore this wonderful part of southern France, if you can bear to leave your splendid and relaxing surroundings.

Location:

The nearby medieval village of Montauroux is perched in the hills, nestled by trees, and incredibly picturesque. In the old town, explore narrow streets, discover pretty stone fountains, and sometimes listen to an evening concert in the village church at the top of the village. The village offers a bakery, restaurants, cafes, and a street market on Tuesdays.

The village has an interesting history with the Dior family, who built a nearby Chateau as their holiday home, now used as an exclusive estate for A-list celebrity events and stays. Mr. Christian Dior has also donated a private chapel to the village named after him. The village is a hidden gem in this part of Provence, where aristocratic families used to build secluded estates in the hills and valleys.

You’re also minutes away from the idyllic hilltop village of Callian with its pretty winding streets, flower-filled staircases, and stunning outlook of lush forests. Fayence is another dreamy village with charming streets and beautiful cafes, plus a weekly Farmers Market selling Provençal delights. The stunning town of Grasse, known for its perfume heritage and fields of lavender, is half an hour’s drive away.

Within a few minutes’ drive, you have a great range of activities, including horse-riding, marked cycling paths and off-road routes, wonderful hiking opportunities, plus the world-renowned Terre Blanche golf course just the other side of the valley. For a truly special experience, there is a Gliding school in Fayence, voted by Conde Nast Traveller to be the best gliding in the world!

Lac de Saint Cassien is perfect for hiring pedaloes with the kids or take a romantic rowing boat out and enjoy the scenery. There is also windsurfing, and it’s a popular lake for swimming off the waters edge. Despite the beautiful countryside and a huge range of activities, you are only 30 minutes from the coast with charming Saint-Raphaël (30km) and the historical town of Fréjus (30km) so near.

The fashionable city of Cannes (35km) is also a fantastic place to visit during your stay. Take a walk along the city promenade in Cannes, La Croisette, as you soak up the glitz and glamour that surrounds you. The city has a brilliant nightlife, some superb restaurants, and a great choice of lovely sandy beaches, both public and private.
