A WONDERFULLY RELAXING HOLIDAY

cold Ireland
Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This villa is ideal for a relaxing, quiet, holiday. It has all the comforts of home, away from home and is presented in immaculate condition. The welcome lady met us on arrival from airport, directions to villa were spot on...the journey took only 15mins. She explained everything to us that we needed to know about the villa. Salt water pool is absolutely wonderful, and surrounding patio area perfectly positioned for maximum sun during the day. Owner told us to bring our Sky Card with us, so we had access to all our home tv channels...great advice when you have a 16 year old and a 12 year old. The only thing we found slightly inconvenient was the barbecue being located away from the patio dining area. It was padlocked to a fence away from eating area. La Colle sur Loup is a charming traditional French village, and has some wonderful boulangerie/patisserie. We would, however,recommend going an extra 5 mins by car to either St Paul or Mougins for excellent restaurants. There is a lovely quiet walk along the Loup river just down the road from the villa. A car is essential when staying in this villa. We travelled by train along the coast to Monte Carlo, where we had a lovely day. Beach at Ste Maxime, one hour journey by car, is lovely and has lots of water sports facilities. Alternatively, there are some beautiful quiet beaches near St Raphael. A stroll along the harbour in Cannes is a must....the yachts are just breathtaking. We also took a walk through the narrow streets of the old town. There are some lovely artisan shops here as well as beautiful restaurants too. We had a really memorable 2 week holiday in Le Cottage du Loup, and would highly recommend the villa.
Owner's Response: We have tried to create a luxurious place not only to feel homely but to a high standard for our guests who come from all over the world to visit. We want all our guests to leave refreshed with wonderful memories of their stay and feel spoilt in lovely surroundings with stunning views. To us that is why we all look forward to the excitement of our holidays and also to returning to somewhere special.

There is just never enough time to see everything with so many amazing places to go close by so we look forward to seeing our guests again.

A wonderful place for our holidays

holidaydream switzerland
Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Many thanks for a beautiful stay. We (parents, two teenager with a girl- and boyfriend) loved the location, the great pool and the environment with the barbecue. The house is just lovely with wonderful decor. It is comfortable with everything you could need in a holiday home.
We used the car to get to the local food market (5 min.), to discover st. paul de vence (10 min.). On the way to antibes is a wonderful beach (20 min.). There is much to see and do. The owners of the house are lovely and always availabe to answer any questions. All in all a wonderful and relaxing place.

Le Cottage in Paradise

Haribo1 London
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Le Cottage sur Loup is an idyllic and private haven in the hills 15 mins. from Nice, however when you are there you feel as if you are a million miles away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the coastline. Within 15 mins.drive one has so much to see - some of the most splendid pieces of art over the past 100 years can be found in the Fondation Maeght in St Paul de Vence or Matisse's Chapel in Vence, not to mention fabulous restaurants in breathtaking settings, as well as the sea nearby. However you really won't want to leave the villa. Carmela and David have created a home from home with such care and attention to detail. The villa could not be more comfortable with a high-end kitchen and great barbeque, so wonderful for dreamy nights watching the stars on the terrace or sipping rose by the pool. I must also mention the super comfortable beds. There are 3 floors each with their own private bathroom and two kitchens, so it is perfect for 3 couples who want their own privacy or indeed a family with teenagers who don't want to be with Mum and Dad all the time! I cannot recommend this blissful haven more and will definitely be coming back in years to come. Thank you Carmela and David for such a heavenly holiday.
Owner's Response: Whatever the time of year whether its Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter we have tried to create a place that our guests long to return to. There is so much to see and do very close by even in Winter the ski slopes are only about 50 minutes away.We have been privileged to have such wonderful guests. We know how important holiday time is for everyone and so we want our guests to feel spoiled and to feel the magic of The Cote D'Azur.

November near Nice

P and G Wales
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Everything for a splendid holiday can be found in this spotlessly clean and very well maintained property - with the added luxury of very comfortable beds and seating areas, lovely decor.. all makes for a wonderfully relaxing time, in lovely surroundings... We stayed in Cottage du Loup, at the end of October - beginning of November - weather was a bit mixed - very hot to begin with, and warm enough to sit outside and watch wonderfull sunsets and the gradual twinkling illumination of other houses through the trees - all lovely. Close to many interesting interesting villages and sites, and only 15 mins from Nice airport.
Owner's Response: We are delighted that our guests have had a lovely stay. We try to do everything possible to make our villa special it is important to us that guests have a wonderful holiday in comfortable surroundings whatever the weather. We have had some lovely emails from our guests and so we are happy they have had a good time.

Le Cottage/Poets is a special place and so too have been the people that have visited. We will continue to keep up our standards for any returning or future guests and appreciate any feedback.
