La Colline de Vence

La Colline de Vence, a 200-year-old villa tucked in the hills above Vence, is an absolute jewel. You will be instantly captivated by its superb setting, stunning views, pretty bedrooms, lovely swimming pool, and, most of all, by your charming young hostess, Kristin. Kristin was born in East Berlin, moving to Burgundy after she married her French husband, Frédéric. They both dreamed of living near Vence and opening a bed and breakfast, so they bought an exceptionally large villa with enormous potential to use both as their own home and as a place to welcome guests. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private entrance opening off a sunny, flagstone terrace. The rooms are not especially large, but quite big enough, and each has a large window with a splendid view of the sea and mountains. They are tastefully decorated in a fresh, sweet, uncluttered style. Each is similar in decor, except for the color scheme: Amandiers is green, Orangers is a Provençal yellow, and Mimosas is a pastel lemon. There are also two junior suites: Bougainvilliers in handsome reds and yellows and Oliviers in a decor of soft cream and brown. The pool is gorgeous with a beautiful setting—on a lovely terrace with a breathtaking view over the picturesque landscape of Provence.
