_International property of the week: A nine-bedroom estate in St Paul de Vence, Cote D'Azur, France

Newly on the market in the South of France, this country estate offers a rare opportunity to live in true Provencal style. This beautiful property has a waterside view, bags of charm and extensive accommodation. 

The property is in St Paul de Vence, one of the most prized hilltop villages of the Côte d’Azur, and has great international links, with Nice airport only fifteen minutes away. 

Its nine bedrooms are divided between the main villa, a guest house and gate house. The guest house benefits from a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms, which is perfect if you're planning family or friends over. 

There's more room in the gate house as there's an extra two spacious bedrooms. As well as this, there's also a separate caretaker's apartment with a living room, kitchen area and bedroom.

Views from the property’s many terraces are exceptional, first to the cobbled lanes and mellow stone buildings of medieval St Paul de Vence and then on to the Mediterranean Sea.

The densely planted and secure grounds – 1.3 acres in all – include several outbuildings and a funicular lift linking the swimming pool and pool house with the main villa. 

The estate’s location and the setting are unrivalled and the new owners have the opportunity, if they wish, to stamp their own style on this Provencal gem.
