Properties are spread across coastal towns including Villefranche-sur-Mer, Antibes, Cannes, Saint Paul de Vence, Saint-Tropez, Grimaud, Èze, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Le Tignet, and Nice. Nightly rates range from $205 for a one-bedroom sea view apartment in Villefranche-sur-Mer to $1,232 for a five-bedroom modern stone villa in Grimaud.
