The Cote d’Azur is superbly located in one of the most appreciated regions of Europe. Besides being home to dozens of quaint villages, it includes world class shopping in Monaco and Cannes, internationally acclaimed outdoor markets, 5 star rated ski resorts and yachting clubs, and numerous Michelin rated restaurants. The islands of Corsica and Sardinia are just a ferry trip away from the Port of Nice, and the Italian border is a mere 40 minutes drive from the villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer.
