Beautiful Homes for holiday rental in the Villages of the Cote d'Azur
When people think of the Cote d'Azur, images come to mind of film stars on the beach at Cannes, the grand buildings of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or super yachts moored in the old port of Antibes. But the best part of the Cote d'Azur lies just a few kilometres inland. Here, where the mountains of the Alps subside into forested slopes, craggy outcrops and peaceful olive groves, a string of magnificent medieval fortress villages dot the hilltops of the French Riviera. Dominated by a castle and characteristic wrought-iron church steeple, these historic villages command breath-taking views over the valleys and the coast. Each has its unique charm: the narrow rocky entrance to Tourrettes-sur-Loup dramatically dropping into the gorge, the picturesque shaded arches of the Place des Arcades in Valbonne, or the Michelin-starred chefs in Mougins. The villages of the Cote d'Azur offer a taste of Provence amid some of the most spectacular scenery in the South of France.
