CHARMING VILLA 💖Panoramic views of sea & mountain, private sunny terraces, pool

This beautiful, south facing sunny villa is set in an exclusive, gated, hilltop domaine and is perfectly positioned on the Côte D’Azur, close to the coast between Nice & Antibes. The domaine is full of traditional character and enjoys an elevated position over the valley below. We have a large, shared pool with stunning views of the medieval village of St Paul de Vence in one direction and the sea in the other. It is the ideal base for exploring the French Riviera and the villages-perchés close by. It is only 10 minutes drive from the airport and just 15 minutes walk to the famous village of St Paul. Yet, while the villa ensures easy access to all the Côte D’Azur has to offer, it’s location in such a pretty and tranquil domaine means that on return from a day exploring you can easily relax and soak up the wonderful provençal atmosphere....... perfect! Our villa within the domaine is one of a small number of private one and two bedroom residences and is called Mimosa Villa for the 2 mimosa trees growing there. We have wonderfully sunny south-facing private gardens with three separate terraces all with breathtaking views of the sea, Cap D'Antibes and the wooded valley below. We have dining areas and sun loungers placed throughout which are perfect for alfresco dining and sunbathing. Or if you’d like to relax in the shade, pick a spot under our lovely big old pine tree. For sunny breakfasts, the breakfast terrace has a unique stone table that was once an olive millstone and seats 8 comfortably. At night, the views of lights twinkling along the coast and of starry skys are spectacular too. It all makes it very difficult to ever leave!
Inside the villa, large French doors in both the living area and main bedroom open onto the balconies so the wonderful views can be enjoyed there too. We’ve just added a beautiful new kitchen with all modern equipment and remodelled and redecorated the living and dining areas so they are lovely places to relax and read or listen to some music or watch movies, whatever your heart desires. With 2 double bedrooms, both with great sized ensuites, Mimosa villa can comfortably accommodate up to 2 couples or families of 4/5 as we have a cot bed for very young children or the sofa bed provides useful additional sleeping space.

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden. Additional amenities at this villa include concierge services and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A great stay in Villa Mimosa
There is a reason there are so many five star reviews for Villa Mimosa—because they are well deserved. The owners and the local contact were very nice and accommodating. From restaurant recommendations to answering questions, they are very responsive. The location is great, a 20 minute walk or a few minute drive from St. Paul de Vence. Grocery store is very close. Villa is about 15 minutes from the airport. The villa is nicely furnished and very comfortable. It has a large outside patio with a great view. The photos are pretty accurate but it is nicer than they depict. It has a washer and dryer (although dryer is a condenser dryer so can be a little slow). It is very quiet. After a week stay, my wife and would not hesitate to return to Villa Mimosa, it is a lovely place.

Beautiful spot and so many home comforts
The Villa is really well appointed and has a lovely homely feel. Beds are so comfortable and we loved the fact that there are kitchen staples you can use and then add to. True hospitality. The pool was a great asset as it was very hot during our stay. We hired a car and so we’re able to drive to the village to go to one of the mss as my lovely restaurants. Defo recommend car hire - we had hoped to use public transport as we usually fo but this would have been difficult. So close to Nice airport too.

Beautiful apartment and location - make sure you read the fine print
This is a lovely and very well appointed apartment with access to a pool, a beautiful view and a great spot for enjoying all this stunning region has to offer. There is very long and detailed instructions for everything which I am sure appeals to some but I will admit that I lost interest after about 4 paragraphs of the many instructions. As a result I didn't remove the small bag of garbage under the sink so we were hit with further charges. We did otherwise leave the apartment perfectly clean and tidy so that was a pretty disappointing ending. I do find that there is always a decent cleaning fee added to bookings this practice pretty irritating but I guess that's why you check the fine print.

Wonderful home with great views!
My first impression was that if I were to buy a home in the Cote D'Azur, this would be it! Everything about it was lovely: the inside decor which was very comfy and stylish, too. The living room was very comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The views were incredible: distant view of the ocean and hills. There was a washer and dryer, dishwasher, heated bathroom floors, etc. The owner was very responsive and welcoming. I highly recommend this home.

Fabulous views and everything you could want in a vacation property!
The listing on Vrbo accurately described the villa. We loved the views and the reference book completed by Claire was so helpful. The outdoors seating was great and the place had everything that you need. The parking space is tight, as mentioned in the listing but we managed to fit a Peugeot station wagon in to the spot. Mini vans probably wouldn’t fit but other spots are available. Definitely would stay here again.

Superb Villa with every possible convenience catered for.
Having stayed at Villa Mimosa for eleven nights recently, we are struggling to find adequate superlatives to describe our stay. Probably most impressive is the raised location of all the living quarters affording an ever changing vista of the valley down to the sea. The villa is exceptionally well equiped and appointed. We spent an extremely comfortable and relaxing break. Claire is most excerised in receiving comments to improve her beautiful home for the enjoyment of guests, but we find it impossible to help in this regard. We still talk about our vacation and hope to return again soon if we can manage to get booked. Eileen and David

A truly wonderful villa.
We were utterly charmed by this wonderful villa just outside St Paul de Vence. It is clear from the quality of everything about this property that you are really being invited into someone's home. Open the shutters and drink in the view and you too will feel almost immediately at home. We were there for a long weekend in October and the weather was beautiful, the breeze gentle. Having arrived late the view didn't reveal itself until early the next morning and made all the better with welcoming croissants and coffee. Without exaggeration you could sit on the terrace all day. Beckoning and just minutes away, is the historic and beautiful town of St Paul de Vence. We loved it and wandered its ancient ramparts and narrow cobbles, later lunching at Cafe de Place and then dining in the evening at a rampart restaurant where the service and the food was delightful. The villa itself is in a gated area, just fifteen minutes from Nice airport, with key coded access leading to its hilltop location. There is a communal pool and patio area and other villas around though it is still very private. There are two double bedrooms and everything you would want in terms of kitchen, dishwasher, showers, tv, music system etc. The living room and front bedroom both look out onto the balcony, which in turn looks down onto a lower terrace and to the side of the villa is a lovely seated area. I think you can tell we were impressed. We did Antibe, Canne and Nice all of which are within a short distance by car and also minutes away are shops, a huge new shopping centre and supermarket. We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property and even describing it doesn't do the actual experience justice.

Mimosa Villa - A slice of PARADISE on the Cote d'Azur!
We were very fortunate to stay one full month in September at the wonderful Mimosa Villa. From the moment we drove in the gates of Dumaine du Piol we felt at home. A lovely welcome of wine and cheese awaited us on the table so we could toast our vacation and relax after the flight. Since we arrived late at night, we had the pleasure of opening the shutters in the morning to reveal a most beautiful view of the hills, and the Mediterranean. The space around the villa was great as we had the terrace, a large back patio including a Boules court and a side patio with a table. Pride of ownership is evident in this Home Away. We were also able to enjoy the pool which was very close to the villa. The interior is decorated very tastefully, incorporating all the French touches that you would imagine. The kitchen was great to work in and the sitting area very comfortable. The bedrooms accommodated us very well. I cannot say enough about the responsiveness of Claire (owner) and Eva (local contact) before and during our stay. We frequented the local grocery store, Leclerc, which has a great selection if you are planning on preparing meals. We had a car which made trips for groceries and to all the towns and villages in the region easy. We did use Uber a few times as well, which was much more cost effective than local taxi cabs. The closest town, Saint Paul de Vence was just beautiful. We spent time there just sitting in the large cafe outside the Boules court enjoying our coffee, wine and the culture. One could never tire of that gorgeous view right through the French doors at Mimosa Villa.

Simply Perfect Getaway
Look no further than this perfect retreat! Located less than a 30 minute straightforward drive away from Nice airport, this property is everything you wished for and more. Beautifully and tastefully decorated, and equipped with absolutely everything you could ever need, it's elevated position and fabulous terraces provide you with the perfect oasis to relax and unwind with a glass of one of the local excellent rose wines whilst you soak up the sun and the beautiful landscapes. If you can manage to drag yourself away, the nearby town of St Paul de Vence has many exquisite shops and restaurants catering for all tastes. This beautiful medieval walled village is about 15 mins walk so leave your car at the Villa and enjoy a few glasses of wine while you watch the locals play boules in the square. St Paul de Vence has been the inspiration for many of France's most famous artists and a stay at villa Mimosa must involve a lunch at the famous Colombe d'or restaurant whose walls are adorned with Picasso and terrace an inspired Fernand Leger cermacic. Book this restaurant well in advance as it is sought out by many a celebtity. A google search will reveal that you are dinning where Sinatra, Monroe, Roger Moore and Bono have all been amongst other Hollywood icons. Vence is just a short car journey away and well worth a visit on market day. The Villa is perfectly situated to explore the best of the Cote de Sur and we found leaving the car at the station in Cagnes Sur Mer the most relaxing way to explore nearby Antibes and Cannes. Going in the other direction the beach at Villefranche Sur Mer is just a few steps from the station. Claire and Peter have left great recommendations for local supermarkets and sightseeing trips. Don't miss the Grimaldi Castle in nearby Cagnes Sur Mer. A truly beautiful Villa in the heart of the Riviera. You will be counting down the days to your next stay there. We can't wait to get back to this little oasis of luxury.

Claire, thank you for ensuring our stay was perfect. The wine and snacks on arrival were lovely and made us feel right at home from the start. The information you provided about the villa was very useful and also gave us lots of great ideas for touring the area. There is so much we need to come back. The only problem was getting our children to leave the pool and the boules in the garden. They loved it so much and tell us 'this is our favourite holiday ever!' What more can I say? Many thanks again, we will be back soon.....

A Magnificent Holiday in a Beautiful Villa
Mimosa villa was a perfect location for our holiday on the Côte d'Azur. The villa is clean and comfortable with great views to wake up to every day and was very well equipped with everything we could wish for so felt like a real home from home. In particular, the balcony was a favourite spot to relax with a glass of wine after a day touring! We drove along the coast to Monaco, Nice, Antibes and Cannes and also to the beautiful little villages perches of Eze, Haut de Cagnes, Mougins, all very easy to get to. We especially enjoyed the lovely St Paul de Vence, just a short walk away... a must for our morning coffee and croissant! Claire was always helpful and available to answer our questions. We would highly recommend and with so much more to see and do will definitely return!
