French fancy
Part of the French Riviera, Villa Paradis is located in the chic but quiet Californie neighbourhood of Cannes, and looks out on to the sparkling Mediterranean, only a few minutes’ drive away. With five spacious double bedrooms, it sleeps 10, and most rooms have their own balcony or terrace. There’s also a good-sized outdoor pool (with child safety alarm) for when you can’t muster the energy to get to the beach, plus extensive gardens with an outdoor grill and an external dining area for al fresco meals.
