Maison De La Calade

The villa

Perched by Biot’s medieval village streets, Maison de la Calade is a beautiful abode with panoramic views and effortless access to the delights of the Côte d’Azur. Tucked into the heart of this charming hilltop enclave, this sensitively restored home flows across three levels, offering a superb place to stay just a minute’s stroll from café - lined squares, restaurants and art studios.

Behind its traditional façade lies a generous and thoughtfully designed interior, where five air - conditioned bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, offer comfort and privacy. The master bedroom, with its own private terrace and spacious feature bathroom, is a standout sanctuary. The vaulted dining room leads directly into the garden, while two upper terraces gaze out across rooftops and countryside to the shimmering Mediterranean beyond.

From the fully equipped kitchen, with four ovens and a professional - style hob setup, to the inviting sitting room with flat - screen TV and French doors, the house is made for relaxed, easy living. Whether gathering around the dining table in the shade of the garden gazebo or reclining beside the 10 - metre pool on the characterful terrace, every space has been created for enjoyment and relaxation.

Positioned just 15 minutes from the golden beaches of Antibes and the glamour of Cannes, Maison de la Calade offers the perfect balance of village charm and coastal adventure. Wander to Biot’s renowned glass workshops or explore nearby Grasse and its historic perfumeries. Golfers will appreciate the nearby Golf du Biot, while families can enjoy day trips to Aquasplash or cultural visits to the Picasso Museum.

Elegant yet deeply rooted in local character, this home is an ideal choice for groups seeking a relaxed base in the South of France, where the pleasures of the Riviera are within easy reach, but the pace remains blissfully unhurried.

Located on a one - way lane and set above the road leading into the historic village of Biot, Maison de la Calade offers a prime location for guests seeking both charm and convenience. Only a minute’s stroll from the heart of Biot, this impressive house gives effortless access to the village’s shops, galleries, café - bars, excellent restaurants and the vibrant cultural events that animate summer evenings (neighbouring Jardin Frederic Mistral features an open - air theatre that hosts outdoor events). This is a quintessential setting in the French Riviera hinterland, where cobbled lanes wind past old stone houses and art studios, all just 15 minutes by car from the glittering Mediterranean coast.

Biot itself is famed for its glassblowing heritage and artistic spirit, while the nearby towns of Antibes, Cannes and Nice provide an enticing mix of beaches, elegant marinas and high - end shopping. In Cannes (16km), explore the atmospheric old quarter of Le Suquet, with its medieval watchtowers and breathtaking views over the bay, or lose yourself in the glamour of designer boutiques and seaside dining. For art lovers, the Picasso Museum in Antibes (7km) houses more than 50 original works by the master himself.

Closer to home, golfers will be delighted with the proximity of Golf de Biot, a very short drive away, while further world - class courses can be found scattered throughout the region. The hilltop village of Mougins (11km) invites leisurely afternoons spent browsing galleries and dining al fresco in picturesque squares, and don’t miss the Friday morning market in nearby Valbonne (10km). Just 20km away, Grasse offers an aromatic escape with its renowned perfumeries and characterful old town streets.

Venture further inland to discover Vence (19km) and the celebrated St - Paul - de - Vence (16.5km), where you can visit the exquisite Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Matisse, or explore the exceptional collection at the Fondation Maeght, a haven for modern and contemporary art. Whether you're drawn by cultural discovery, coastal indulgence or charming authenticity, Maison de la Calade places you at the heart of it all, offering a refined Riviera retreat with village soul.
