A perfect spot to explore Côte d'Azur
This villa is a great little gem tucked into the hills with a beautiful view of Mougins and the sea. The house was perfect for 2 couples, there is a 3rd bedroom, but it's quite small. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, so it is definitely possible to fit 3 couples, it just may be a little tighter. The view from the master and 1st floor bedrooms were stunning, and overlooked the pool and garden. The neighborhood where this villa is situated is very high-end, with large, gated villas surrounding the property. We enjoyed sitting by the pool almost every night with our wine and cheese after long days of exploring the beautiful French countryside and coast. The owners of this villa are exceptionally responsive, which is hard to find with VRBO sometimes, and answered every question we had prior to booking. Emma, the villa manager, was outstanding both before and during our trip. She helped arrange day trips and gave us a ton of restaurant ideas, all of which turned out to be amazing. I cannot say anything negative about this villa, except that the WiFi is really not good, so if you hope to do any work during your vacation you may have a really difficult time. We traveled from the US and did need to connect for business purposes which was nearly impossible. However, if you are truly looking to get away and not be worried about work during your holiday, you may consider this to be a blessing! For us, a stronger connection would have been helpful. Overall, fabulous!

A Blissful Two-Week Retreat at Villa Oleander
Our time at the villa was truly unforgettable. The picturesque surroundings and the overall comfort of the villa made our stay exceptional.
The villa's interior was cozy and tastefully decorated, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor area was equally impressive, and we spent countless hours by the pool and enjoying the stunning garden.
Our teenagers, enjoyed their time immensely, and they wanted to make sure to highlight the playroom:)
During our stay we found ourselves spending a significant amount of time in the kitchen. Whether it was preparing breakfests or dinners with fresh, local ingredients, or simply enjoying a glass of wine while chatting and cooking together, the kitchen played a central role in our daily activities. It truly enhanced our overall experience and added an extra layer of warmth to our stay.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful welcome gifts that awaited us upon our arrival. It was a lovely touch that made us feel instantly at home.

Beautiful Villa very close to Mougins old town
Villa Oleander is a lovely villa close to Mougins in a nice neighbourhood. For us, it was not walking distance to the old town in the August heat with the hills, but it is an easy two minute drive by car (and there is a large, free car park as you enter the old town so never any parking issues) and if you don't wish to drive then Uber taxis are readily available.
The villa, pool and garden are all immaculately maintained and fully equipped with everything you could need including the small touches you would find in a hotel, like robes and slippers. There is a welcome pack on arrival of all essentials like milk, butter, juice etc. The villa is also well stocked with items such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, kitchen roll and so on. There are several supermarkets in the area and a nice bakery a very short distance away. Emma, the property manager is lovely to deal with and will respond to any query or request extremely efficiently and quickly. She will happily give recommendations and advice on shopping, restaurants, etc.
All in all, the villa is exactly the same as the photos and description and has an amazing view of the old town from the terrace, living area and two of the bedrooms. A great find which we would recommend and stay in again!

beautiful property
This house is in a great position, very close to the old town of Mougins - a 2 minute drive (We thought we might try walking, but the lack of pavements and driving style of the locals, put us off that idea after the first attempt!). The house is immaculate and so are the beautiful grounds, Emma is excellent support and very responsive, and we also want to call out the hard work of Christal (apologies, not sure of spelling) who came to clean twice a week. The view of Mougins old town is amazing, and you also have a view of the sea. There are many wonderful restaurants in Mougins, we particularly liked sitting on the terrace at L'Amandier. We have previously stayed in Cannes and Chateauneuf, and would describe this place as somewhere between the busy of Cannes and the peace and quiet of Chateauneuf. Thank you for the opportunity of staying in this beautiful house.

What a villa!
We had the good fortune to stay at the villa for 6 nights in early July 2017. Our stay was very last minute, but Alastair responded to my request very quickly and was terrific about making sure everything was ready for us the same day! The house manager Emma was very responsive, and checked in with us en route to the villa to ensure that the begs were configured for our family. It was such a great surprise to have "the essentials" there for us upon arrival- milk, cheese, bread, fruit, juice, etc. Emma provided us with restaurant and beach suggestions, and the villa guide also contained a lot of great info on the area. I can't say enough about Emma's care throughout our stay- she's a gem!
The villa is really amazing, and the photos don't do it justice. They've really thought of everything. The beds were comfy, air conditioning in every room, robes and pool towels were provided. The pool house has a mini fridge and sink, and there are Bluetooth speakers in the house and pool house. The pool was fantastic! We used it everyday, and there are zero gravity loungers as well as more traditional ones to choose from. Our boys enjoyed playing table tennis and using the pool table. The kitchen is well equipped and we ended up cooking more than planned. It was just so relaxing to sit on the terrace and look at Mougins and the med in the distance. We were quite happy with the location as it was close enough to go see sights in the area, but allowed us to stay in a calm and peaceful setting. We've been fortunate to stay in many vacation rentals around the world, and this really has to be about the best one we've found! I would highly recommend this villa to anyone!

Wonderful again!
We last stayed at Villa Oleander 2 years ago and we were very excited to be coming back. As before, the garden and pool area beautifully maintained - but I must congratulate the owners on the interior “makeover” which is gorgeous. Lots of little extra touches that make the difference and Emma, the new manager, is a real find as well. Villa Oleander has all the comforts of “home” but set up very much with guests in mind.
Dinner at Paloma was a highlight.

Great option for a high-quality family stay in southern France
Great location in the upper hills north of Cannes. Splendid views towards the old town of Mougins and the Mediterranean sea, especially from the balcony, which served as main breakfast and dinner location for us. A very well maintained holiday home for up to six people, fully equipped and featuring a nice swimming pool (our kids' and grandparents' most favorite place), a terrain de petanque (everybody's second favorite place), an open air lounge terrace under a palm tree and a billard table inside the house. A car/motorbike should be rented to get the most out of this place, from which many really cool places of interest are within easy reach for those who like to drive through a lovely hilly countryside. Special mentioning is deserved with regard to the managing agency (Emma) and the cleaning lady, who are first class.
