PEILLON: MEDIEVAL VILLAGE

PEILLON: MEDIEVAL VILLAGE
Just 20 minutes from Nice, the medieval hilltop village of Peillon offers peace and a complete escape from the city. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, it has preserved its old-world charm, with picturesque alleyways and a chapel adorned with 15th-century frescoes.

From the Place Auguste-Arnulf, shaded by plane trees, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the valley. The village offers modern comforts, with heating in winter and a refreshing coolness in summer.

Nearby, shops and supermarkets ensure convenience, while a small train line provides direct access to Nice. Nature lovers will appreciate the numerous hiking trails leading to Peille or La Turbie, winding through forests, cliffs, and olive groves.

A home with timeless charm

Nestled in the heart of the village, this stunning 136 m² stone house is reached via a picturesque climb of around fifty steps from the charming main square. Overlooking the village rooftops, it reveals elegant shutters and an authentic character.

At the entrance, a stone bridge leads to a majestic wooden door, reminiscent of a medieval film set, concealing a spacious wood storage cellar. The house, built over two levels, opens into a bright and inviting living space, where the travertine stone flooring enhances the authenticity of the setting. The living room, complete with a wood-burning stove and balcony, and the separate kitchen, offer a refined yet warm atmosphere. From the living area, a staircase leads to a magnificent vaulted stone cellar, ideal for storage or transforming into a cozy retreat.

Outside, an elevated stone bridge leads to a pigeon tower bedroom, a unique space with its own bathroom and a suspended balcony. From here, the panoramic view stretches across the valley, with rolling hills dotted with olive trees and breathtaking natural scenery—a sight to behold with every sunset.

Upstairs, two spacious en-suite bedrooms complete this exceptional home. Each has its own private bathroom and WC, offering both comfort and privacy in an enchanting setting.

Blending historic charm with modern comforts, this one-of-a-kind home is an invitation to serenity and the art of living in one of the region’s most beautiful villages.
