Villa Zen: Japanese -inspired design villa with indoor gardens, lush landscape and infinity swimming pool
- From 4,000€/per week
Inspired by Japanese traditional architecture, this villa is nestled on top of a hill among tall pine trees and benefits from a beautiful view over the countryside and the famous Pic Saint-Loup mountain.
It is surrounded by several deck terraces flanking a beautiful infinity pool of 11 x 6 metres and embellished by a large landscaped Mediterranean garden.
Nature is also part of the interior architecture of the house, as it embraces several enclosed gardens with large picture windows and glass doors that flood the house with light. Extending over 300 square metres on two floors, the house welcomes guests through a main entrance that leads along a winding glass corridor, flanked by indoor gardens on either side, to a very spacious double-height living room overlooking the garden and pool. Wide sliding glass doors open to create one harmonious space between inside and outside on both sides. The imposing open kitchen with a central island is fitted with the best equipment to suit the most demanding chefs. Contemporary artwork and design furniture come together under the impressive exposed wooden beams to create a balanced and elegant ensemble. The formal dining area is in a separate room at the back of the living room, a cosier space which opens onto a private indoor garden.
A corridor leads to the bedroom area. The master bedroom is fitted with a 180 x 200 cm bed (super king) and a large glass door that opens onto a private terrace leading to the garden. This room has an en-suite bathroom with a chromotherapy bathtub and a walk-in shower which looks onto another indoor garden. Also in this area, guests will enjoy a separate tiled hammam with shower. The villa offers three further double bedrooms with 140 x 200 cm beds, each leading directly to a private terrace through glass doors, and from there to the garden beyond. Two of these rooms have an en-suite shower room. Finally, there is one family bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower, which gives onto an indoor garden.
Two sets of stairs lead to the first floor loft, one from the bedroom corridor and one from the living room; neither of these has a balustrade, hence they are not well suited to young children. The first floor has a large 45 m2 open space furnished with comfortable sofas, a library, an office area, a large flat screen TV, an exercise bike and a treadmill. This room could accommodate two more people on sofa beds. Another separate TV room with comfortable sofas (and railings) overlooks the living room.
The entrance level is accessed via a few steps; however, access via a ramp is suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
