Description of facilities: Baby equipment available on request.
Description inside property: Located opposite and within a 15 minute walk from the beautiful hilltop village of Mougins, and the Mas Notre Dame de Vie, where Picasso spent his final 13 years, Mulberry Cottage is the perfect bolthole.
Newly renovated accommodation is in a charming, typically Provençal stonewall structure, with comfortable furnishings and fine art by the artist owner. It stands independently on an enclosed terrace just below the main house. Ample space and abundant sunshine, which pours through windows and glass doors all winter, make it a very inviting place to just sit quietly and recharge one’s energy.
A private, terraced garden provides space for al fresco meals and plein air painting. Boules patch and shared use of main house's swimming pool. Private entrance and ample parking – no passing traffic.
Description outside property: Mulberry Cottage is in the grounds of, but at some distance from the main house, with it's own private access. The cottage garden is gated, walled and fronted with a high hedge, which makes it very private. The entire property is south facing with a view of Mougins Village.
There are a couple of raised flower beds, planted with aromatic flowers like Lavender, Geranium, Rose, Lantana, Jasmin and Bouganvillea and some pot plants, but mostly the garden is paved. There is garden furniture for al fesco dining and sunbathing. The gas bottle for the stove is situated outside the building for health and safety reasons and the cottage has it's own independent hot water cylinder.
The salt water swimming pool is only used by the owner, who lives permanently in the main house with her husband and 2 young sons and access to the pool is unrestricted to Mulberry Cottage renters. The pool is 50 m from the cottage. There is a shallow toddler platform measuring 3x3m at the steps leading into the pool, which is 3m in depth at it's deepest part. Towels provided for use at the pool and there are sun loungers and umbrellas poolside.

An itinerary can be based on a theme or varied in topic. They can include museum visits. There is no tuition involved and all levels are welcome.
A Paint Week can be for a group as small as one individual, or as big as four. If needed, she will chauffeur drive you in your hire car or you can simply head out on your own, following the suggested itinerary. Well-behaved non-painters are welcome to tag along.
Hourly rate for planning an itinerary or chauffeur service on application.
Mulberry Cottage is also used as an Artists' Retreat and many artists return year after year to recharge their batteries and prime the artistic pump. |
