Six stunning Provençal villas on the French Riviera

Six stunning Provençal villas on the French Riviera

As Home Hunts’ recent property insights report, Inside France, shows, the appetite of high net worth investors choosing to buy property on the French Riviera continues to grow year on year. According to data collected throughout 2014, there are “three distinct areas on the French Riviera that stand out for their popularity”: the Valbonne and Mougins area, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and locations in and around Cannes and Cap d’Antibes.

What Home Hunts also discovered is that Provençal-style villas, particularly those with sea views, are one of the most desirable property types that buyers are enquiring about.

“Provençal villas make for very good investments on the French Riviera,” says Tim Swannie, Director of Home Hunts. “Elegant, classic and often the epitome of a dream Côte d’Azur residence, clients also find that rental yields are high. This is partly due to the property type’s aesthetic beauty, which is so in keeping with the area, but also because with 300 days of sunshine, the Med at your feet and the Alps just behind, the French Riviera really is a year-round destination.”
