Villa Apolline · 1892 Estate · 5 BR, Heated Pool, Riviera Views

On a hillside in Grasse, the world capital of perfume, Villa Apolline has stood watch since 1892. Built by a perfumer and fully restored, it has kept its original silhouette — a belvedere tower, rounded arcades and a perfectly symmetrical façade turned toward the light. For a week, you don't simply stay here: you live in a house with a soul.

Five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, welcome up to ten guests across three floors designed for light and views. On the garden level, two bedrooms open directly onto the garden and the heated pool. The first floor holds the heart of the house — a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and a dining room opening onto a panorama that continues out to the main terrace. Under the eaves, three more bedrooms, one watching over the old town from beside its fireplace.

Outside, life moves into the open air: a heated pool facing the hills, an olive tree shading the long table, terraces opening onto the Riviera. From the first coffee to the last stars, the hours aren't counted — they're lived.

The house has air conditioning across the living areas and the three top-floor bedrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, private on-site parking, an alarm system and a safe. Bed linen, bath towels and pool towels, end-of-stay cleaning, garden and pool maintenance and utilities are all included, with no cleaning fee. Pool heating and late check-in are the only extras, both optional and on request.

Grasse's old town and its perfume houses (Fragonard, Galimard, Molinard) are minutes away. The sea is about 25 minutes, Cannes 30, Nice Côte d'Azur airport 40, Nice 45. Ideal for a family holiday or a trip with friends on the French Riviera.
