| Notes: | La Rivolte can be rented as a whole during the summer, but out of season, normally from September to June, we operate as a Bed & Breakfast. However, this year, we are exceptionally offering BED & BREAKFAST for one week from 23rd to 30th August 2008 (and also from 16th to 21dt June 2008). We now have a heated swimming pool - this will be heated from 1st April to 15th May and again from 15th September to the end of October each year (heating not needed during summer months). For guests wishing to have the pool heated before April and after October, there will be a 100 Euro supplementary charge per week's rental. Please contact us for further details and our website address. Please note that we are unable to accept bookings for weddings or large parties as the villa is situated in a quiet residential area. La Rivolte was featured in the July 2005 Conde Nast TRAVELLER magazine and in the Financial Times magazine. |
Activities
There are numerous activities which can be enjoyed close to La Rivolte. We are half an hour away from the nearest ski resort - Gréolières and there are 3 more excellent ski-resorts, Val d'Allos, Isola 2000 and Auron just an hour and a half away. There are several excellent golf courses all within a half hour's drive of Grasse. There are many well-known hiking routes and paragliding is also a popular local sport. Sail boats can be hired from nearby Cannes and there are all the other popular watersports, e.g., water-skiing, windsurfing, parascending, jetskis, etc. For children, there is the excellent Oceanographic museum at Monaco, the Florian sweet factory at Pont sur Loup, and Antibes Land which has a water park, aquarium and farm. There is also go-karting nearby and a glass-bottom boat goes out from Juan les Pins around the exclusive Cap d'Antibes.
Bed & Breakfast
The villa is available to rent at any time of the year, but when La Rivolte is not rented as a whole (usually off season from September to May), we welcome guests on a bed and breakfast basis. This is very popular and continental breakfast is served in the large kitchen or out on the large terrace where guests can enjoy the fantastic sea views. The pool is heated from April to November. For Summer 2008, we are exceptionally offering accommodation on a Bed & Breakfast basis for one week from 23rd to 30th August 2008. Please contact us for further details. We still have B&B availability for the Monaco Grand Prix weekend 2008 (24th/25th May 2008) and also for MIPTV in Cannes.

'We discovered 'La Rivolte' in cyberspace and experienced it as heaven on earth! We hope that many guests will find the way to you and have the same marvellous time as we had. You were great hosts!'Fred & Els Hulsing, Amstelveen, Holland
'Such a pretty house, such a pretty view, such lovely palm trees, such a lovely town.' Virginia Ironside
'Lived up to and exceeded expectations. Wonderfully relaxing and convivial. Cathy and Jon are excellent hosts.'
Rod and Helen Cahill
'Our stay here was perfect! The hospitality, yummy breakfasts, refreshing swimming pool and breathtaking views were more than we could imagine. We enjoyed meeeting couples from all over Europe and sharing stories at breakfast. Watching the World Cup match on the terrace with all the other guests was most fun! We will miss La Rivolte but hope to return soon to enjoy this idyllic place again. Cathy & Jon were outstanding hosts and only added more pleasure to our stay.'
