We were delighted with this apartment and we had a great 2 weeks there in July-August 2009. The property was just as described with good quality furnishing and equipment. It was spotless when we arrived and the meet and greet service was most helpful in going throught all the essential details. The lady was very helpful and the information lefft in the apartment regarding places to visit, things to do and other tips such as local car hire firms made our time in Antibes more enjoyable.
The complex was very well maintained, clean & new and the pool was fantastic with a main pool and smaller children's pool which both my daughters (aged 4 and 6 months) loved. Ift was clean, safe and just a few steps from the apartment - heaven on a hot summer day!
There was everything we needed for the children in the apartment and they also enjoyed the garden for outdoor play. We ate all our meals outside even in the heat of the summer. The patio was cool in the morning and it got the afternoon and evening sun - just perfect for relaxing dinners!
We visited Antibes - with several sandy beached, Cap d'Antibes again with several sandy beaches, Nice, Juan les Pins and Cannes.
The apartment is about 500m from main road on which you can get a bus along the coast to Cannes or Nice for 1 Euro! Great way to explore. There is also a little local bus from around the corner which runs every half hour into Antibes and is free.
We hired a car for 5 days which was really worth doing to explore a little further. Best places we went in the car were St Tropez (definately a must do just to people watch!). We drove to St Maxime and took the boat across to St Tropez to avoid traffic and that was fun. We also enjoyed St Paul de Vence (very beautiful especially after most of the visitors had left!) Great place to go for dinner and enjoy the evening sunset.
In Antibes we enjoyed the cafes and ice-cream shops,local market, Aquasplash and Marineland. We spent a day at both Aquasplash and Marineland (90 Euros for both) - it was expensive but definately worth it. Our eldest daughter really enjoyed both attractions with the Killer Whale show a must!
We did most of our shopping in the local shops at La Fontonne. Small grocery store, bakery, fruit and veg, chemist, cash point and take away pizza. They were a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
We had a great time at the apartment and would definately recommend for a relaxing place to stay in the South of France.
