Description from owner
Description
Once the home of one of Napoleon’s last descendants, Villa l’Aimant (“The Magnet”) is a half-century-old, stone-built, sophisticated and fully-furnished 4-bedroom villa in the hamlet of Opio, within the ‘golden’ triangle formed by Nice, Cannes & Grasse.
Built on seven south-facing terraces dotted with old olive trees, l’Aimant is your perfect home base. Between the main residence and its quaint poolside guest house 3 terraces lower, the property comfortably & luxuriously accommodates 8 (possibly a few children in addition).
Villa l’Aimant is here to be your sanctuary… your home away from home. It’s been just that to our family for over 35 years, and it can be yours as well.
In 2014, a comprehensive renovation was completed. The main house offers 3 refurnished bedrooms, 3 renovated bathrooms plus 2 separate upgraded toilets. Those lucky enough to end up in the master bedroom also have a full-southern-exposure private balcony with a gorgeous valley view … certainly not a bad way to enjoy your morning coffee or tea.
The amply furnished and cozy salon with fireplace, elegant dining corner (seating 6-8) and a distinguished slightly-elevated bureau with warm and decorative artwork comprise the main floor living space. Adjoining are a brand-new kitchen and pantry (buanderie, with washer/dryer). The kitchen is fully equipped, including a double-door American fridge with water & ice dispensers, convection oven, micro-wave, food-processor, dishwasher, and lots of cook-books. l’Aimant has under-floor heating for the comfort of Christmas and off-season guests.
The charming covered terrace off the salon with a dining table (seating 12-14) is the perfect spot to entertain most every hour of the day. This barbecue and 'al fresco' dining area is simply ideal for those nights of balmy weather and gorgeous sunsets. A second terrace off the large salon overlooks the valley in south-western direction, and is a lovely place for afternoon drinks and for watching sunsets.
From the main house, descend the rock stairs to the pool, and approach the guest house. In it, you find a full-size bedroom, a pleasant living space + kitchenette opening up to a breakfast terrace, plus a renovated bathroom & pool cabana (mid-2014). A glorious covered, larger, terrace doubles as outdoor eating area, also with its own barbecue … for those inclined to grill poolside with a glass of rosé in hand. The property is ideal for family reunions, and for sharing quality time with friends.
