Le Mas du Naoc

Grasse


This vine-covered, 18th-century chambre d’hôte 6km west of Grasse slumbers in the shade of century-old olive, jasmine, fig and orange trees. Soft natural hues dress Sandra and Jérôme Maingret’s three lovely rooms – all with access to fully equipped kitchens – and the coastal panorama from the pool is inspirational. No children under seven; minimum two-night stay April to October.
