 La Rivolte is a magnificent 19th century mansion just outside the medieval town of Grasse, known as the world capital of perfume. Set in 2 hectares of Mediterranean gardens, the villa has a jade green heated swimming pool and spectacular panoramic views over the Bay of Cannes and the Cap de l'Esterel. The villa was built in 1883 during the Belle Epoque for a local perfume family. La Rivolte has 8 bedrooms (4 double rooms and 4 twin rooms) and can accommodate a maximum of 16 persons. The villa is available for rental during the summer months and out of season we offer accommodation on a Bed & Breakfast basis.
