Visited by Caroline
Cocoa Flower is always a popular villa. The owners have successfully created a blend of Mediterranean/Caribbean/Scandinavian boho chic. The bedrooms are not particularly large but these are more than outweighed by the spacious living area and the fact that you will be spending most of the day and the evening outside. Valbonne attracts visitors from all the world and offers some excellent small independent shops alongisde a big choice of bars and restaurants. Definitely recommended!
