Why we chose it

The elevated hillside position creates something most Riviera villas cannot offer: genuine privacy without sacrificing accessibility to the coast. Unlike many properties that compromise either on space or location, Above Antibes delivers both a substantial seven-bedroom layout and that coveted 'above it all' feeling that defines the best of Côte d'Azur living. The spiral staircase acts as both functional architecture and visual centrepiece, creating an arrival moment that feels more like entering a private residence than a holiday rental. One of the few villas in this price bracket that combines a heated pool, sauna and home cinema with immediate access to both Antibes' cultural heritage and Juan-les-Pins' legendary nightlife.
