Villa Art Biot
BIOT, FRANCE
4 BR | 4 BA | SLEEPS 8
The home of a design duo from Amsterdam, this villa for rent in France has all of the sunny holiday ambiance of the French Riviera with a stylish and artistic pedigree.
After a long stint in fashion management, the owners switched their focus to real estate and interior design, settling in the south of France. They discovered this villa on a hill overlooking the countryside and set about transforming its provincial qualities with a quietly glamorous and creative makeover. The interiors combine contemporary aesthetics that flow from the couple's passion for art, interior design, and architecture, with an eye for texture, composition, and some earthy tones that add warmth.

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (25km)
A picturesque hill town located between Cannes and Nice, the village of Biot is a trek to get to but worth a day trip for its atmospheric old town with cobbled lanes, plazas, and the pretty Place aux Arcades.
Known for its heritage in glassmaking and ceramics, the town is home to the many art galleries, shops, and studios (La Verriere de Biot is the best) where you can see both historic and contemporary works. Grab a coffee at an outside table from one of the many cafes before a visit to the famed Fernand Léger Museum for a tour of his Cubist works.
Less than thirty minutes to the shore, there are plenty of glamorous beaches and beachclubs along the Cote d’Azur including owner favorite, Plage de la Jetée, La Spiaggia Plage, Cagnes sur Mer, Plage les Pêcheurs, the uber-exclusive Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel, Plage Keller, Plage les Cabines, Golfe-Juan, trendy Plage Goéland, and of course the iconic Cannes Croisette.
