A perfect holiday home!
Review Submitted: March 9, 2009

After 10 years of visiting Provence and the Cote d'Azur, this has to the best villa we have stayed in!
The villa itself is charming, and the original and slightly quirky decor make a refreshing change from the run-of the-mill holiday rental properties. This place feels like a home. It is quiet and private, and not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses.
The owners ensure that the house, pool and garden are immaculate, and are incredibly helpful with information and communication.
Particular things we like are: satellite TV (we spent the mornings on our last holiday watching the Olympics from Beijing!), computer and internet (very handy for keeping up to date with e-mails, as well as checking out local information), top quality gas barbecue, and, of course, the pizza oven!
The village is a short stroll away, and is also a lovely place. It has all of the medieval style and charm of its near neighbour, St Paul, but few of the tourists. There are some lovely shops and plenty of nice restaurants to choose from.
Our kids enjoyed the trip to the sweet factory just a few miles away at Pont sur Loup, and there is a nice walk up the Gorge du Loup from the same spot. "Canyonning" down the gorge looks like great fun, but we haven't been brave enough to try it yet!
Beaches are a short drive away, with some great places at Cap d'Antibe (which you can see from the villa).
This really is a perfect place for both relaxing and exploring!
Owner's Response: It's really great to receive praise like this- we do try to make sure our home is very special to our guests, as it is to us.
