Ste Agnès is a beautiful medieval village perched on the hills overlooking Menton and the Mediterranean. Only 15 minutes drive from the local beaches it is close to all amenities. From the village one can walk out into the surrounding hills following any one of the many marked hiking routes. Horse riding trips are also available, leaving from just below the village in autumn through to spring, and then from higher up in the hills where it is cooler in the summer. The delights of Monte Carlo are only half an hour away, Nice about 40 minutes away and Cannes and Antibes can be reached in a little over an hour. In the other direction, one can be in Italy for lunch in under 30 minutes and in the historic city of Genoa in about two hours. The friendly village of Ste Agnès also offers entertainment most months with its many fêtes and gatherings. The popular local 'épicerie' caters for most of one's basic needs; supplying groceries, frozen foods, drinks, cleaning products amongst other things.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Sainte-Agnes, France

An Outside, Inside.: Although the property does not have a garden or a terrace, as this is very rare in Ste Agnes due to the nature of the village, the kitchen has large french windows which open out onto a wonderful view of the beautiful street below and over the rooftops to the mountains beyond. This enables you to enjoy the fresh, mountain air, whilst being in the cool interior of the house. What could be better? The village itself has many little squares with seating provided so that you can make the most of the wonderful vistas, the summer evenings are a wonderful time to make the most of these. It is also a very sociable occasion for the village. For those of you who enjoy eating out of doors, the three restaurants have wonderful terraces offering extraordinary views of the surrounding countryside right down to the sea and across to Italy. You can also pack up a picnic, and within only ten minutes walk of the village you can find endless perfect picnic spots to enjoy your fare.

Wonderful Winter Holidays: Ste Agnes is a remarkable holiday destination all year round. Come from September to May and you can enjoy the peaceful countryside with its wonderfully gentle walks and its more strenuous hiking routes, the horse riding and the birdwatching. Drive down to the coast for walks along the beautifully tranquil beaches, and delicious meals eaten under the warmth of the winter sun. Visit the gardens of Menton - Serre de la Madone, Clos du Peyronnet, La Val Rahmeh, Colombieres and the Maria Serena. Drive over the Italian border to enjoy the Hanbury Gardens with their incredible vista over the Mediterranean. Make the most of the opera and concert season in Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice, with events two or three times during each week. Give yourself a very special Christmas overlooking the snow capped hills surrounding Ste Agnes; a Christmas tree and all the decorations you could possibly wish for as well as Christmas music CDs are provided to help you make it a truly memorable experience.

Other activities: The ski resort of Isola 2000 situated in the Mercantour area of the Alpes Maritimes, part of the Mercantour ski domain. The lift served area extends from 2000 metres to 2603 metres. There are 120 km of lift served runs. The resort features a snowpark. Isola has a good snow record and is normally open from December until the end of April. 120km from Ste Agnes - 2 hour's drive. Limone is one of Italy's oldest ski resorts, has been attracting visitors since the early days of skiing. Majority of the runs best suited for intermediates, only a few runs for beginners. Some travelling needed to find black runs and off-pistes. Due to altitude, snow cover can be a bit unpredictable. 400km from Ste Agnes - 4 hour's drive. Golf du Claux Amic 06130 Grasse, Golf de Saint Donat 06130 Plan de Grasse, Golf de la Grande Bastide 06470 Chateauneuf de Grasse, Golf d' Opio Valbonne 06650 Opio, Golf Saint Philippe 06410 Biot SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, Golf Cannes Riviera 06210 Mandelieu, Golf Monte Carlo.

Simply perfect.

EllieAndOli Salisbury, UK
Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Wow. It is hard to describe quite how much we loved this holiday. The welcome we received from Anna who met us was lovely, the drive up to Ste. Agnes was incredible (good directions from Kirsty the owner), and the apartment was brilliant. It was furnished with everything you'd ever need, and we both felt really at home. It was clean and very well-maintained.
There are some great restaurants in the village, and lovely places to eat in villages nearby and also in Menton. We spent our week relaxing and pottering, but had we felt more active, would easily have been able to occupy ourselves.
The castle above the village is well worth a visit, and the view is spectacular.
Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend this place highly enough and really think it would appeal to everyone. We really could not fault this holiday - the only thing we didn't like is that we had to leave!

Absolutely Stunning

Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed in this apartment in 2008. We have travelled extensively around the world and this was the best experience and place we have stayed in. The perfect location, high up in the mountains, the authenticity of the village, yet so close to the "action" - the sea, Moncao, Menton & Villefranche. The cleaniness was superb, the utilities great! Computer and it feels like the your home away from home yet you are in themost amazing location! If you would like to have the most incredible holiday that you will never forgot this is the place! We were 2 adults with our daughter 2 years old. We found the place fine with child, we slept her in the main bedroom and we have the upstairs room. The views from this place are out of this world. If you stay in this place do not bother going to visit St Paul De Vence as you will be horribly disappointed after staying in such a glorious authentic village. This is a place is such a catch. We travelled all the way from NZ and now live in the idyillic Cook Islands, but this place beats the best even here!

Great getaway

Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I strongly recommend anyone who loves to travel to go to Ste-Agnès, France and rent this lovely home.

We rented in July for one week and this was the best decision. This town has the best view in the region since this village is perch up at 800 meters above the sea.

From Ste-Agnès , we can see the Mediterranean sea, the city of Menton and the Italian bording mountains.

This house has been newly renovated and has all the conform of a modern home incorporated into the old town walls. (Sleeps 6)

Ste-Agnès is surrounded by mountains…great for hikers; is located 15 minutes from the beach of Menton and Roquebrune on the Mediterranean sea; is located about 30 minutes from Monaco and 40 minutes from the great city of Nice; and is located just 20 minutes from the Italian border.

Lots to see and do in this area: hiking, sightseeing, beaches, shopping, great dining, casino, etc. Fun for the entire family.

To all, have a great stay in Ste-Agnès.

Up in the mountains

Mel and Alex Fleet, Hart, UK
Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The appartment was as described with lovely outlook in the village. Facilities were superb and everything was clean. The only mild criticism is that there was no shampoo and that the beach towels were hard to find. The communication with the owner was great and all the niggles were sorted propmptly and satisfactory. I would deffinitely come back for another holiday and would wihout hesitation recommend to a friend. The village itself was lovely and unspoilt, Merton for beaches, shopping and nightlife was close, Nice, Monte Carlo, San Remo were just a short car journey away. All in all superb holiday and would deffinitely come back. Thanks Kirsty for lovely time!
