St-Paul-de-Vence holiday villa: La Colle sur Loup

We stayed here in August 2009. We are in early 40s and we had with us 3 teenage boys (15, 17 & 17). It's a 15 minute drive from the airport and on arrival we were met by the local English agent and were all very impressed by the standard of the accommodation. The pool house is lovely for whiling away the afternoons with a book and the pool is kept beautifully clean. The house is fully equipped, even down to pool towels, plug in mosquito repellents, products in the bathrooms and bags for your shopping. There's not much you need to bring. The owner Rachael was very helpful prior to the holiday in getting us info on transport, local area etc. The view of St Paul Vence is magnificent and turns dreamy pink as the sun sets. We sat many times on the terrace with a glass of wine just gazing at the view. The only niggle we had was that there is only air con in 2 of the bedrooms and as it was 30+ degrees every day, we could have done with it in the living areas. Our sons and their friend used the train station at Cagnes sur Mer to get to the lively resort of Juan Les Pins and to Cannes. One of the trains was very fast and efficient and one was slow and hot - they weren't sure how to determine which one was which, so if you can speak any french it might be an idea to ask.
We visited St Paul Vence which was a very nice way to spend an afternoon, especially as there was a wedding going on in the centre. It is slightly on the comercialised side, but we enjoyed it all the same. There is a mobile Pizza van which stops by the supermarket in La Colle Sur Loup and we can highly recommend those! Don't forget the mosquito repellent for by the pool..we used lots!
A really memorable holiday which we didn't want to end. No hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending this property...Go..you will love it!
