History
The villa has been in the owner's family for more than 3 centuries. The owner is indeed the descendant of one of the 140 families who came from Liguria to Italy in the 15th century, at the request of the monks of the Lérins Islands, off the coast of Cannes, to cultivate their orange trees. The family tree on the village square, Place Bellevue, still bears witness to the adventure represented by the founding of the village. On this same square are inscribed the names of the 140 families, including that of the owner.
While maintaining its traditional appearance, the owner has just completely renovated the villa built on three levels: it retains its old wash house, its wine press, its marmalade cabinet, its adorable garden planted with orange trees, olive trees, fig trees and mandarins.

Charming Provencal Villa with hanging garden in le Cannet - above Cannes. 3 Bedrooms, 1 Double Italian sofa, Sleeps 6 to 8.
The villa is located in a quiet residential street of the old village of le Cannet. The original mansion, (on 176 sq m grounds) in a green wooded setting offers peace and a quiet atmosphere for a simple stopover or a longer stay. It is a delightful place, only four kilometres and a 10-mn drive from the Croisette and its beaches, the Cannes Congress Centre and the Massif de l’Esterel.
Built over 3 centuries ago, the cosy villa has recently been renovated and its original soul preserved. Perfectly integrated into its grounds, it is laid out over three levels where all the living spaces open onto the small garden.
It offers more than 120 sq.m. of living space: a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a second room with washbasin as well as a large Italian sofa bed in the drawing room. It can accommodate a maximum of 8 people.
The layout is as follows:
Entering the villa, you will find a small hallway, paved with typical Provencal red hexagonal terracotta tiles (tomettes), that gives access to the quaint garden. The whole house is paved with those same “tomettes”. On the first level (ground floor), there is an antique Napoleon III sofa under the prettily curved staircase. There is also a separate toilet with washbasin. (To the right of the entrance hall, is the hydrotherapy-column shower-room where the old winepress used to sit). The laundry corner is equipped with washing machine and dryer.
A double bedroom (kingsize bed or two twins) with en-suite bathroom and toilet on garden level allows you to enjoy the sunny quiet of the garden.
Walking up the stairs, to your right you will find the dining room with fully equipped en-suite kitchen. The dining room has a large modern rectangular table that sits 6 to 8 (2 leaves available), as well as six comfortable table armchairs. There is a French window opening onto the terrace and the garden.
The fully equipped kitchen has a Provencal "chicken-wire" cupboard, a small table, four gas burners, a hood, an electric oven, a refrigerator/freezer, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, an espresso machine, an electric knife, a kitchen robot and a toaster. The kitchen has all necessary cooking utensils and crockery.
To the left of the staircase, you will find a drawing room that is equipped with a large comfortable Italian sofa. The room has satellite TV (plasma screen) and a CD/DVD player.

You will enjoy the terrace and the garden that are planted with various Mediterranean trees (an orange tree, a fig tree but also a Muscat grape vine). Quality garden furniture is available as well as a BBQ.
The garden is a very special place with its former “lavoir” or wash place and wine-press that the owner's ancestors used to press the grapes from their own land.
Neighbourhood:
Free parking space is available although not guaranteed on the street. In addition, there are a lot of parking lots around that are free of charge.
Le Cannet (little Cannes) has much to offer in terms of artistic life. It has been the haunt of lots of famous painters. Pierre Bonnard, the famous painter who lived in Le Cannet is buried in the “Notre Dame des Anges” graveyard. A Bonnard museum will soon open in the village. All shops are within short distance (a cinema, a supermarket, cafés, restaurants…).
The historical town of Le Cannet is just at the top of Cannes’s famous Boulevard Carnot. Although not within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals, the villa is ideally suited for Festival de Cannes lovers and for other convention attendees.
