BACKGROUND
This is a home that has been furnished with olde world pieces sourced over time to intrinsically complement the charm and character of this magnificent 300 year old building. It is suited to those who want to bask in a bygone era and no attempt has been made to make it look like a modern hotel with that generic styling. This is a deliberately unique home which nevertheless offers all the comforts of contemporary living.
LOUNGE
The lounge has solid timber beams which have stood the test of time. The walls are lined by stones and the floor is paved in large tiles. Windows frame a picture-perfect view of the surrounding countryside and the sunsets are truly amazing to watch. Comfy lounge furniture painted with gold gilt-like finishing to the arm chairs, chaise lounge and the super indulgent day bed. The area is complemented by soft lighting and artistic pieces.

MOUGINS OLD VILLAGE
The house is cosy and brimming with history. It is comfortable and perfectly located on the outer perimeter of the central walkways so there is reduced noise from the restaurants and bars.
Mougins is a medieval village located between the sea and the mountains, between the perfumeries of Grasse and the city of Cannes. It is best known for the variety of restaurants - it is considered the capital of gastronomy in the Cote d’Azur.
The narrow cobblestoned winding pathways are lined by multiple galleries and studios which cement its history as an artistic haven. The most well known was Picasso who lived his final years in the area.
There is much to see and do and the best part is the easy access – there are over 275 free parking places in five car parks around the village. The closest car park is just a two minute walk from the house. Mougins is not as hilly as many other old medieval villages.
There is a bus which takes you directly to Cannes (approx. 1.70€) or by car it is just a 10-15 minutes drive.
It is a great place to explore the beauty of the French Riviera and visit Antibes, St Tropez, Nice, Monaco, Riviera – even pop over to Italy as it is just 1 hour away.
Old town Mougins village is special: it is not as touristy as Valbonne or St Paul de Vence, it is not as hilly as Cagnes sur Mer or Biot nor is it as busy as Cannes or Antibes. All of these places are well worth visiting but it is wonderful to come home to Vieux Village Mougins and really relax in an exquisitely beautiful part of the world. Try it :)
