WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OFF: Here is what dreams are made of, Like the places in your sleep Or a very well kept secret , One you want to keep Your minutes from the city, all the shops within your reach And in less than 15 minutes, you could be sitting on the beach The mountains grace the horizon, Where if you want you could ski There and back in less than a day, You'd be back in time for tea If you prefer a gentle stroll, through a village street Past the bakers and cafe bar, where you could stop and have a seat Or pizza from the village cafe, baked while you wait To takeaway or stay and eat, its always open late Or simply while away the hours, by the pool with a good book Or stare out at the view, just take a while and look Or maybe a casino, or to dance away the night Until the sun come s up again, with its very special light Which it throws across the morning, and melts away the day We feel sure this place will melt you too and you'll really love your stay Copyright THE LYRICAL DANCER

The perfect place to relax

Review Submitted: September 7, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed at the Poets Retreat for 7 nights as part of our honeymoon. It was wonderful. The apartment was beautifully decorated and cleaned to very high standards. It was equipped with everything that we needed and was like a home from home. The pool area was a delight and we used the bbq a couple of times. When we stayed at La Colle Sur Loup we visited Nice, Anitbes (a must) and Cannes. It was also a great base to explore Monaco. We loved St Paul de Vence but preferred Vence (only 5 minutes further). Vence had great restaurants and delightful squares with pretty shops and bars (worth a visit for your morning coffee).

I loved the Poets Retreat and will return as soon as we can - next time hiring the whole property (we saw the Villa and I have to say that it was absolutely stunning - if I stayed there then I would have never returned home!)

Thanks Carmela, you were a pleasure to deal with and it was a wonderful experience staying in your home

Owner's Response: It was a pleasure for us dealing with such a lovely couple and to help make your honeymoon a memorable experience.

We look forward very much to you returning again and perhaps sharing the whole villa with some friends or family.

Thank you for your kind review.
