Step directly from the gate onto the cobbled streets of the Vieux Village de Mougins, with panoramic views stretching across the Mediterranean to the Îles de Lérins and the Alpes du Sud. This stunning Italianate villa — built in 1949 and set within nearly 4,000 m² of mature gardens — offers elegant, spacious interiors, a generous pool terrace with summer kitchen, and the perfect environment for rest, relaxation and conviviality.

Villa Plein Ciel is one of the Côte d'Azur's most enviably positioned private villas. Perched on the southern tip of the old village promontory, it occupies a rare position that is simultaneously central — one hundred metres on foot from Mougins' celebrated restaurants, galleries, museum and the Place de la République — and entirely private, behind remote-controlled wrought-iron gates within its own walled estate. Constructed in 1949 in graceful Italianate style, the villa extends across 444 m² of living space on two floors, with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Original terracotta floors, arched loggias and period craftsmanship sit alongside every comfort a discerning guest could require: high-quality audio throughout — garden and loggia speakers driven by a SONOS system controllable from any phone or tablet, with an independent Bose sound system in the pool house — high-speed Wi-Fi throughout including the garden and pool terrace, a twelve-seat formal dining room, and a marble terrace table for outdoor dining under a retractable electric awning.

The Interiors
The ground floor opens with a generous entrance hall leading to two reception rooms — a formal salon with fireplace and a large salon-dining room — both giving onto the south-facing loggia and garden terrace, blurring the boundary between inside and out. The fully equipped kitchen connects directly to a utility room and to the covered outdoor dining terrace. A ground-floor bedroom suite provides convenient single-level living for guests who prefer it. Upstairs, five further bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each with its own character and outlook. The largest is a generous suite with its own dressing room. All bedrooms have been furnished for comfort and calm.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Seven bedrooms sleeping up to 12 adults and 2 children comfortably, with six bathrooms. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with bath, separate shower cubicle and WC; three bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms with WC. Two first-floor bedrooms share a bathroom with bath, shower attachment and WC — ideal for families or groups travelling together, giving those rooms their own private landing.

The Gardens
Nearly 4,000 m² of sun-drenched gardens unfold across several terraced levels, sheltered by ancient olive, pine and cypress trees — three of which stand in the entrance rondel as a traditional symbol of good fortune. Beds of lavender, rosemary and wild herbs are fragrant through the summer months. Garden maintenance is tended to weekly, leaving guests entirely undistracted.

The Pool Terrace
The 15 × 6 m marble-tiled pool — more than 2 m at its deepest — is the natural centre of summer life at the villa. The adjacent summer kitchen brings every comfort poolside: its own cooking facilities, wine fridges, crockery and an independent Bose sound system. Twelve sun-loungers are arranged around the water. A propane barbecue stands ready for poolside lunches. High-speed Wi-Fi covers every corner of the terrace. When evening comes, the scent of lavender drifts across from the garden and the lights of the coast begin to glimmer far below.

Guest Access
Guests have exclusive private use of the entire villa — all seven bedrooms, all six bathrooms, the full garden estate, the pool terrace and summer kitchen, and all ground-floor reception and dining areas. The villa is accessed via remote-controlled wrought-iron gates with private driveway and parking for several vehicles. CCTV covers the perimeter. A dedicated contact is available throughout your stay for any questions or requirements.
