The interiors are thoughtfully curated, combining heritage furniture with design pieces for a timeless ambiance.
The dining room comfortably seats 8, while the adjacent fully equipped kitchen boasts four ovens (2 traditional, 1 steam, 1 microwave), an American-style fridge/freezer, and a generous pantry with an additional fridge and laundry facilities.
The villa features four large, beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath or shower room, air-conditioning, and high-quality hotel-standard bedding.

Outdoor Living – Provençal Lifestyle at its best
Surrounded by 1,500 m² of landscaped garden, Villa Ricôme offers every opportunity to relax under the southern sun or unwind in the shade. The saltwater pool (10 x 4.5 m x 1,75m deep) invites you to cool off after a sun-drenched afternoon on one of the 8 loungers. Gather around the dining table under the parasol for alfresco meals prepared on the Weber charcoal barbecue, or sip local wine in the outdoor lounge area, nestled in comfort and calm.
