A good garden is an oasis of calm in which we can truly relax, surrounded by lush, bountiful nature and the gentle sound of birds tweeting. For many the garden is a crucial feature when buying a house, yet when choosing a holiday villa to rent we often forget about it, carried away by the prospect of a swimming pool, beautiful views or a high-spec finish. But what if you could have it all? Here’s our roundup of the three best French Riviera rental villas with amazing gardens…
