Why go to the French Riviera?

In the South-East of France, the Côte d'Azur is the ideal place for a stay between luxury and pleasure. A superb cocktail of splendid beaches, turquoise sea, and prestigious seaside resorts awaits you. The program for your getaway includes swimming, sea outings, strolls, and, of course, shopping. There is also a wide range of water sports: scuba diving, kayaking, sailing, surfing, and kitesurfing... the list goes on. Villanovo invites you to discover this region, one of the most popular destinations in France.

Experience the French Riviera vibe !

The Côte d'Azur stretches from Menton to Bandol, where unspoilt beaches such as Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, La Londe-Les-Maure or Le Rayol follow one another. With its mild and sunny climate, the coast is the perfect place to spend quality time with lovers, family, or friends. On this world-famous coastline, holidays take on all their meaning. Treat your palate in gourmet restaurants, escape to the island of Porquerolles, enjoy the bustling marinas at the end of the day, stroll along the seafront in the evening...
 
Indeed, the French Riviera is the ideal destination for partying with friends and enjoying the evenings in summer. Between Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Marseille, or Nice, the list is long. There are as many possibilities as there are reasons to go on holiday to the Côte d'Azur to have fun in the most exclusive cities in France.

Heading to the most beautiful beaches

Heading to the most beautiful beaches

The Côte d'Azur is full of charming beaches all along its coast. Near Saint-Tropez, don't miss Pampelonne beach, a long sandy beach of 4.5 km, or Moutte beach, a wild and protected beach. 
 
Cannes has 13 public beaches and 33 private beaches. Along the Croisette, go for a swim on the beach of the Palais des Festivals. For a calmer swim prefer the beaches at the tip of the Croisette and west of the Suquet. Bijou plage is ideal for people with limited mobility as it has the Handiplage label. 
 
If you are not a fan of sandy beaches, the beautiful Buse beach in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is for you. This small pebble beach was one of the favorites of the famous artist Le Corbusier, who had a small cottage built there. 
 
Depending on what you want to do, you can go swimming, windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, or kitesurfing. By opting for one of our beautiful waterfront villas, you will have the privilege of enjoying these activities to your heart's content!

Saint-Tropez, the star of the region and the meeting place of the jet-set, is a pretty little southern port that you absolutely must visit. With its colorful facade, small fishermen's boats, and pretty cobbled streets, you won't be disappointed. 
 
Cannes will also seduce you, with its 8 km of fine sandy beaches and the Lérins islands off the coast. Swimming, jet-skiing, parasailing... a whole program awaits you for an exceptional holiday.
 
Between Nice and Monaco lies Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, an elegant and idyllic seaside resort on the French Riviera. A beautiful peninsula and archaeological remains make this place a must-see. 
 
In search of enchanting smells? Choose Menton for its famous lemons and citrus smells, or Grasse for a flowery fragrance and fields of flowers as far as the eye can see.  
 
For an exceptional holiday, choose a luxurious villa located close to the sea or in a nice area to stay. You will benefit from a peaceful and intimate setting to rest, bask in the sun, party, or organize barbecue days, in short, a truly tailor-made holiday.
