Florentine Style Villa With Guest House And Pool In Grasse Saint François

Saint-François is one of Grasse’s most established residential quarters, occupying the higher ground to the north of the old town where the air carries the faint trace of jasmine and rose from the surrounding perfume fields. The area is characterized by generous plots, mature gardens, and villas set well back from quiet roads, giving it a distinctly private character that separates it from the more densely developed parts of the Côte d’Azur hinterland. Grasse itself holds a singular place in French cultural life as the world capital of perfume, a status recognized by UNESCO in 2018.

Daily needs are covered within a short drive: the Carrefour Market on Route de Cannes, the covered market in Grasse’s old town on Place aux Aires, and the restaurants along Rue Marcel Journet. The Golf Club de Grasse at Opio is approximately ten minutes by car, and the old town’s historic perfume houses, including Fragonard and Molinard, are easily accessible.

Cannes is approximately 20 kilometres south via the D4, reachable in around 25 minutes by car. Nice is roughly 40 kilometres east, with a journey time of 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, the second busiest in France, is approximately 35 kilometres away and accessible in under an hour, providing direct connections to major European and international destinations. The A8 motorway is accessible via Mougins or Le Cannet.
