About Villa Cocoa Flower

Villa Cocoa Flower is an unusual and stylish villa that is in a very quiet environment but is just a short walk from the lively village of Valbonne. The walk into Valbonne is 1.2km and is very pleasant, passing by some lovely villas and olive groves. Just the ticket to visit the market in Valbonne on a Friday.

Opio is 2.5km away and offers some very nice shops, including a Lebanese delicatessen.
The villa is a mixture of partly newly-renovated and partly newly-built. The villa is 230m².
There is a big family room of 100m², which includes kitchen area and living room. The family room has direct access to the dining terrace, the pool terrace, and the bedroom terrace.

An original mix of styles, “Scandinavian”, “Art Deco” and “Loft “ make the atmosphere unique and quite 'zen'. The owners are very interested in interior design and a clean, healthy lifestyle so they grow a lot of their own vegetables, some of which may reach your dinner table to be enjoyed surrounded by the fragrance of summer on the Mediterranean.

The pool is 4.5m x 8.5 m, and it is a soft saltwater pool. The pool is of course equipped with an alarm.

The entrance hall connects the family room and the " night area"/bedrooms. There is a guest toilet in the entrance hall and also a direct access to the dining terrace.

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and one separate toilet. Three of the bedrooms and two bathrooms are in the "night area" These all have air conditioning. The fourth bedroom is in a separate studio, with separate entrance from the garden.

One master bedroom of 18M² with private bathroom of 12m². The bathroom has a big wardrobe, toilet, shower and bathtub. There is a direct access from this bedroom to the terraces.

There is one bedroom of 22m², also with a big wardrobe. This room can easily sleep 2 or 3 persons; one double bed and one single. Also this bedroom has direct access to the terraces.
And a smaller bedroom of 11m², also with a big wardrobe.
These two bedrooms are both situated next to their common bathroom with toilet, shower and bidet.

There is also a small office, if required.

The last bedroom is a separate studio of 25m²: The studio has a separate entrance rom the garden. There is a small kitchen and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The studio is less hot in the summer, and there is no air conditioning but there are fans.

The main outdoor area is focussed around the pool and the dining terraces, both terraces made of wood and each terrace is around 70m². The olive trees included in the pool terrace give a shade when you need to relax out of the sun! On the dining terrace, in front of the family room, a big electrical sun shade takes care of the shade.

The garden is 3000m², plenty of space to play and run around. If you arrive in June then you will have to share the garden with hundreds of fireflies every night! Beautiful company!

The entrance of the property has easy parking space for up to 10 cars. Entrance to property through manually-operated gate.
