Holiday villas in Grasse and surroundings
Grasse, the world capital of perfume, sits in the hills above Cannes, with a warren of an old town and a countryside of flowers, olive groves, and stone villages. It offers the Riviera's sun and views with more space and better value than the coast, and the beaches are only a short drive away. Our Grasse villas are part of the 500+ hand-picked holiday homes on our website, each vetted for quality.
Why stay in Grasse instead of on the coast?
Grasse and the hills above Cannes give you Riviera light, views and countryside with more privacy and better value than the seafront, while the beaches are only 20 to 30 minutes away. Villas here typically have larger gardens and pools. South France Holiday Villas has vetted villas across the area.
