Mas Helene Region: Grasse Sleeps: 8 Overview The round stones and carefully-kept vines on the face of this villa in the French Riviera are but a sign of the sumptuousness you ll find within. The traditionally styled living and dining rooms exude classic French elegance, with pretty tiled floors below, and chandeliers above. You ll marvel at the marble master bathroom, and love the rich red tiled kitchen. Here, whether you sit in the sunny breakfast room or lounge by the private pool, the quiet of the countryside follows you. The gem of this holiday villa is the garden - a secluded kingdom all your own.. The fenced swimming pool is surrounded by palms, and beside it there s a shady terrace with a long table for 8. An outdoor kitchenette (with a gas hob and refrigerator) lets the cook laugh along with the rest of the group - there s no staying trapped in the kitchen. The fragrant fields of Grasse (7 km) gave birth to the perfume industry that flourishes in this region - you needn t go far to find rose, violet and jasmine. For a supermarket, boulangerie, restaurants and tennis club, head into Le Tignet (1.5 km). With necessities so near, this countryside escape is easy as anything. Facilities Page 1
