Villa Collinette

Renovated in 2024, Villa Collinette seamlessly blends Mediterranean classicism with Scandinavian simplicity. Natural materials are at the heart of its design: solid oak floors create a warm and inviting indoor atmosphere, making the villa just as enjoyable in winter—especially with the cozy fireplace—as it is in summer. Outdoors, Italian stone on the terrace adds an authentic touch. Each room is bathed in natural light, thanks to large windows that open onto the lush garden, with some spaces featuring a private balcony or terrace. The color palette? Light, natural tones—beige, taupe, and off-white—offering a soothing ambiance for both the eyes and the mind.

The furnishings, both minimalist and elegant, are a carefully curated blend of antique finds—like the wooden farmhouse table in the dining room—and thoughtfully selected design pieces. As a designer, the owner sought to create a space that seamlessly merges Mediterranean influences with Nordic style, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.

Beyond the villa’s exceptional comfort, its location is ideal for exploring the region. La Colle-sur-Loup is a charming village near Saint-Paul de Vence, a medieval hilltop gem perfect for leisurely strolls through cobblestone streets and discovering art galleries.

For nature lovers, the Gorges du Loup offer spectacular scenery, with steep cliffs and refreshing waterfalls—ideal for hiking or canyoning. Further downstream, the Loup River provides opportunities for kayaking and fishing.

Culturally, the town of Vence, just six kilometers away, boasts a rich artistic heritage, including the Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Henri Matisse. And for those craving the sea, the beaches of Nice and Antibes are less than thirty minutes away—perfect for a day by the Mediterranean. Whether you're looking for relaxation, cultural discoveries, or outdoor adventures, Villa Collinette is the perfect starting point to experience the French Riviera at its best.
