Maison Roquefort-les-Pins
ROQUEFORT-LES-PINS, FRANCE
4 BR | 4 BA | SLEEPS 8
Nestled in the Cannes hinterland and steeped in its history as an 18th-century coaching inn, this home was lovingly restored by a French singer who has returned to her roots. With an east-facing facade – all elegance in lime-washed stone walls, green shutters and a lace of climbing flowers – it glows softly in the painterly Provencal light.
Comprising 240 m2, the house spreads across three levels and accommodates up to eight adults and two children. On the ground floor is a living room with soaring ceilings and a cozy linen sofa. You might find yourself playing some acoustic piano on the Kawai (Yann Tierson’s Amelie Foal perhaps) by the fire, or relaxing with a glass of the owner’s homemade orange wine. Layer the sounds with the room's Marschall Stanmore bluetooth speaker, Marshall acoustic guitar amplifier, or pick a vinyl from the record collection and kick back and relax.
This floor also has a dining room with an old farm table and chairs from La Maison Pernoise, a fully-equipped kitchen with pine green cabinets and a handsome SMEG stove, plus one bedroom and a private bathroom.
On the first floor there is one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a small TV lounge with sofa beds, a desk and minibar. The second floor is composed of two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom with walk-in showers, toilets and sinks.
Outside, the landscaped grounds include a pool, while the rainwater-irrigated gardens flourish with lavender, roses, citrus and olive trees. A boules court rests under a lime tree, and an outdoor lounge and kitchen invite you to connect and indulge with your traveling companions. This is wonderful place for artists, epicureans and all lovers of pleasure.
