The Villa
Tucked into the peaceful hills above Cagnes-sur-Mer, Villa Augflor is a family home distinguished by its uniquely designed Mediterranean garden — a curated landscape of jasmine, bougainvillea, fruit trees, and fragrant Provençal planting that transforms every outdoor hour into something special.
The architecture and interiors carry the same distinctive eye: thoughtfully styled bedrooms, a luminous open-plan living area, and terraces oriented for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, and starlit dinners alike.

Location & distances
Cagnes-sur-Mer sits at the geographic heart of the Côte d'Azur — quietly residential, yet within striking distance of every iconic destination on the coast. This is not a compromise location.
Area guide
Everything Lana recommends — from the best boulangerie 2 minutes away to the most dramatic canyon in Europe. Updated each season.
The medieval hilltop village on the other side of our hill is beyond imagination — cinematographic, calm, classified as a historical site since 1948. Narrow pebbled streets cool even in summer heat, thousands of flowers, and a Renaissance château with panoramic views over sea and mountains. Take a glass of cold wine at the square café and simply exist. Use the free navette shuttle (bus 44 from Square Bourdet) to avoid parking.
On the hill next to the villa, this 15th-century walled village is one of the great "must-see" destinations of the entire region. Art galleries, boutiques, hidden cafés, flowers everywhere. The Fondation Maeght modern art museum — with Miró's labyrinth and Giacometti in the courtyard — is world-class. Arrive early in summer.
A city of extraordinary layers — the Baroque Vieux-Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, the Cours Saleya flower market, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Founded by the Greeks (originally "Nike" — victory), it has been Italian, French, and everything in between. The spirit of Nice is unlike any other French city. The Cours Saleya morning market is essential at least once.
A tiny city-state famed for glamour, the Casino, the Prince's Palace (once home to Princess Grace), and some of the most prestigious events in the world — the Formula One Grand Prix, the Yacht Show, Monte Carlo Rally. Monte Carlo district is drenched in sun, money, and extraordinary Mediterranean views.
Perched at 427 metres above the sea, Èze is the most vertiginous village on the Riviera. The Jardin Exotique at the summit has the best panoramic view on the entire coast. Visit midmorning before the tour groups arrive. Combine with a coastal drive along the Grande Corniche.
The walled old town, the Picasso Museum inside a real medieval castle, the extraordinary Saturday Provençal market, and the best bouillabaisse on the coast. Juan-les-Pins, attached to Antibes, has a legendary jazz festival each July. The superyacht port is a spectacle on its own terms.
Long sandy beach right in the village. Relaxed, local, with good seafood restaurants on the waterfront. Ideal for families — calm water and gentle entry. Best for a lazy half-day followed by lunch at La Pesquière.
One of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the Riviera — clear shallow water, less crowded than Nice or Cannes, and a genuinely local atmosphere. Napoleon landed here on his return from Elba.
Rocky coves and crystal-clear water around the cape. Take the Sentier du Littoral coastal walking path for hidden swimming spots away from the crowds. One of the most scenic walks on the entire Côte d'Azur.
Antibes' most celebrated beach — shallow, sandy, sheltered. Beach clubs with loungers or a public section for BYO towel. Consistently beautiful water.
The famous pebble beach of Nice along the Promenade des Anglais. Best early morning or sunset. Combine with a walk through Vieux-Nice and the Cours Saleya market.
A beautiful small pebble cove accessible only by coastal path. One of the Riviera's true secrets. Pack a picnic, wear shoes you can walk in, and allow an hour to reach it.
Closest: Patisserie des Travails, 19 Chemin des Travails (walk 12 min / car 2 min), open 06:30–19:30. Lana's favourite: Bour Pâtisserie Boulangerie Traiteur, 94 Avenue des Alpes (car 8 min), open 06:15–20:00 daily. Exceptional croissants and pastries.
Several excellent small restaurants are nestled in the medieval village directly above the villa. Lana keeps a curated, up-to-date list with booking tips — just ask on arrival. The setting alone at these restaurants — candlelit medieval lanes — is worth the short drive.
The best morning market on the Riviera. Local cheese, olives, socca, charcuterie, flowers, and lavender. Essential at least once. Arrive around 9am with an empty bag and no fixed plan.
Nice's legendary flower and food market. Try fresh socca (Niçoise chickpea pancake) from a street stall for breakfast. One of the most atmospheric markets in France.
Beloved local fish restaurant right on the beach. Book ahead. Order the dorade grillée and a bottle of local Bellet white wine. One of the best casual lunches near the villa.
Provence produces the world's finest rosé. Château Minuty and Château Saint-Maur are both within an hour. Wine tastings can be arranged through Lana, including at estates not open to general public.
One of Europe's great modern art museums — a Miró labyrinth, Giacometti sculptures in the courtyard, Calder mobiles, and world-class exhibitions all summer. Budget a minimum of two hours.
Antibes is the superyacht capital of the world. Sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and boat hire all available from the port. Lana can arrange half-day boat rentals and sailing lessons.
Spectacular limestone gorges in the Alpes-Maritimes hinterland — refreshingly cool even in August. Combine with a visit to the village of Gourdon perched at the top. A perfect escape from coastal heat.
One of the world's great jazz festivals, held every July in Parc Phoenix. Outdoor concerts under the stars with Nice as the backdrop. Book tickets well in advance.
Hire road or e-bikes and follow the coastal cycle path towards Nice or Antibes. The velodrome circuit at Cros-de-Cagnes is good for families. Lana can organise bike hire delivery to the villa.
Several excellent tennis clubs and golf courses nearby. Lana can arrange court time and tee times including at private clubs near Mougins and Biot. The climate means outdoor courts are playable from March through October.
Take the ferry from Cannes to Île Sainte-Honorat — a monastic island with extraordinary vineyards and deserted rocky coastline. Île Sainte-Marguerite has the cell where the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned. Pack a picnic and spend the day.
The world capital of perfume since the 17th century. Visit Fragonard or Galimard for a perfume creation workshop — one of the best activities for all ages on the Riviera. Surrounding lavender and mimosa fields are extraordinary.
Tourettes-sur-Loup is known for its violet festival and artisan craft shops. Gourdon, perched on a cliff 760 metres above the sea, has the most breathtaking views of the entire arrière-pays. Both can be combined in a half-day loop.
The prettiest town on the Riviera, at the Italian frontier. Famous for lemons, Baroque churches, and the Ventimiglia market just across the border on Fridays. Excellent for an authentic half-day excursion away from the tourist trail.
The most dramatic landscape in southern France — turquoise water, 700-metre limestone cliffs, and a canyon stretching 25 kilometres. Kayaking, rock climbing, or simply the most dramatic drive imaginable. A full-day adventure worth planning.
The Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Henri Matisse in his final years, is a masterwork of light, ceramic, and stained glass. Quieter and more authentic than Saint-Paul. Local Tuesday market. One of the essential cultural stops of the region.
Leclerc — 344 Chemin des Moulières, La Colle-sur-Loup. Open 08:30–20:30, Sunday 09:00–13:00 (walk 20 min / car 8 min). Also has the cheapest fuel station in the area.
Casino Supermarché — Avenue des Alpes. Open 06:00–midnight (walk 17 min / car 5 min). Very convenient for evening top-ups.
LIDL — 66 Avenue de Verdun. Open 08:30–20:00 (walk 17 min / car 5 min).
Polygone Riviera — 119 Avenue des Alpes. Open 10:00–20:00 (car 4 min). Large shopping centre with Zara, H&M, Apple Store, restaurants, and a good supermarket. The closest major retail destination to the villa.
Patisserie des Travails, 19 Chemin des Travails — 2 min by car, 12 min walk. Open 06:30–19:30.
Bour Pâtisserie Boulangerie, 94 Ave des Alpes — 8 min by car. Open 06:15–20:00 daily. Lana's personal favourite for croissants.
Free shuttle bus (navette gratuite, line 44) from Square Bourdet town centre runs every 20 minutes daily to Haut-de-Cagnes — avoids parking entirely.
Cheapest fuel: Leclerc station, La Colle-sur-Loup.
Pharmacy: Several in the town centre, open standard French hours. Nearest urgent care at Hôpital de Cagnes-sur-Mer.

A €500 security deposit/bond is required for all direct bookings and is payable on arrival. It will be refunded within 1–2 business days following your stay, provided there is no reported damage to the property.
The security deposit may be used to cover: breakages or damage, odours caused by smoking, replacement keys (€80), emergency call-out fees, or cleaning charges in excess of normal levels.
Before booking, please understand: any damage or accidents — intentional or otherwise — are the responsibility of the guest. Villa Augflor reserves the right to pursue legal action for costs exceeding the deposit amount.
Check-in: from 15:00. Check-out: by 10:00. Early check-in and late check-out may be available with at least 3 days' notice (charges may apply). The property must be vacated by the agreed time or extra charges will apply.
On departure: run the dishwasher, remove all rubbish to the designated area outside the main gates (sort plastic and glass), leave keys on the table, and place the key in the locker outside the main gate. Please return any moved furniture to its original position.
The villa is equipped with exterior security cameras. These are not monitored for guest safety and should not be relied upon for personal security. They may be used to verify compliance with rental policies. Damage or tampering with cameras may result in loss of deposit.
Your personal information will not be passed to any third parties. It is used solely to provide your booking and related services.
The maximum number of guests is 6 people, unless agreed in writing by Villa Augflor. Parties and events are strictly prohibited. Disturbance to neighbours may result in immediate termination of the rental with no refund.
If we are required to attend the property to address a noise or disturbance complaint, a €200 charge will apply.
All fixtures, fittings, and appliances are assumed to be in good working order at the start of your stay. If anything is not, please notify us immediately so it can be recorded. Any damage not reported at the start of your stay will be deemed to have been caused by you.
Any breakages or damage must be reported before departure and either replaced or compensated to Villa Augflor's satisfaction. Failure to comply will result in the bond being withheld or a claim being made through the relevant booking platform.
Villa Augflor is a no-smoking property. Do not discard cigarette butts anywhere on the property — in summer this presents a serious fire risk. An additional €100 deodorising fee applies for odours caused by indoor smoking.
Please supervise infants and children at all times, especially near the pool. Villa Augflor accepts no liability for injury to minors on the property.
Villa Augflor is not responsible for guests' personal belongings. Items left behind will be returned at the guest's cost via La Poste. Items will not be held indefinitely.
We strongly recommend travel insurance for all bookings. It is the guest's responsibility to be aware of any restrictions that may impact their stay.
Our standard cancellation policy is that bookings are non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, guests will be credited the full amount for rebooking on an alternate date. Date changes must be requested by email from the person who made the original reservation.
The exception is if European governments impose non-essential travel restrictions (Public Health Orders) covering all or part of your booking dates. In this case, contact us within 2 days of the government announcement and we will offer:
We reserve the right to cancel bookings in exceptional circumstances: unforeseen property damage making the villa unsafe, death of the host or immediate family member, or serious breach of house rules by guests creating problems with neighbours. In the case of cancellation by us due to circumstances outside your control, you will receive a full refund.
The pool is for the exclusive use of guests staying at the property. No glass in or around the pool at any time — plastic cups are provided.
Do not leave any items in the pool that can clog the filtration system: hats, clothing, or anything smaller than a football. If such items are found stuck in the skimmer box, the full security deposit may be withheld.
Please ensure that the water level does not drop below the filter box level — this can damage the pump motor. If the level appears to be dropping, call us immediately at +33 623 777 333.
Children must be supervised at all times in the pool area. The pool is deep.
Note: The pool may be closed for winter servicing from approximately October to May each year, subject to weather conditions.
