  We booked this apartment based on its proximity to Nice, the lovely photos and the fact that it had all the details we required, namely a pool, outside eating area, dishwasher, washing machine (required for 2 small children) and secure car parking. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find that it exceeded our expectations. The apartment was spacious and nicely furnished, the view from the balcony was stunning (much enjoyed throughout the holiday) and the pool area was clean and well stocked with sun loungers/umbrellas. The owners (Milly and Art) were most welcoming and friendly, providing us with simple instructions to find th house along with lots of information and tips on places to visit within the area. They also provided an unexpected selection of toys and books that our children happily enjoyed throughout the holiday. Bar sur Loup has good local shops for purchasing provisions as well as some lovely local restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property as a good place use as a base for trips to the main attractions in the area as well as being somewhere to relax and soak up the sunshine!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

  A wonderful week. We particularly enjoyed Monaco. Parking at the Jardin Exotique and using the bus was a good idea. To get away from it all try Gréolières and Gréolières le Neiges at the Northern end of the Gorges du Loup. We found more spectacular scenery in Gorge de Cians also a footpath created using the old road when a new tunnel was blasted through. A good picnic spot and interesting geology ! Buying petrol or diesel can be troublesome as many stations only accept French cards. Don’t leave it too late ! Excellent food and service at the Jarrerie restaurant. Very well appointed apartment. We particularly appreciated the dishwasher and cool-box. Thanks for all your help.

  We adored this apartment ! We explored the Mediterranean at Juan-les-pins and Fréjus, Grasse, the Gorges, Nice and Cannes. We very much enjoyed an excellent lunch in Cabris at the Chèvre d’Or. Don’t forget to wander through the stunningly beautiful, steep and narrow alley ways of le Bar sur Loup itself. Our “find” was the village “Coursegoules” just NE of the Gorges. I enjoyed walking along the river Loup which can be reached at the next town, Pont-du-Loup. Immediately over the bridge left (the Confisserie is there). Just follow the narrow path. Wear good solid shoes if you want to hike along the river. We sampled the local chèvre cheese (purchased in Cipières, in the mountains) the pissaladières and Nicois olives. Life is good on the Côte d’Azur !

  Spent a great week here. Some suggestions for things to do. Best beach - just west of Frejus plage. Sandy beach great views, changing rooms and a restaurant/ bar on the beach. Come back to Le Bar via the Corniche d’Or that runs along the coast back towards Cannes. If you like to hike, drive North through the Gorge du Loup towards Gréolières. Nice hikes, several shady, from that area. Tourist office in Le Bar has good booklet that describes 30 or so hikes in the area. The beach in Nice is also lots of fun (although rocky). We enjoyed exploring the old town and walking up to the park that overlooks the city. The Matisse museum is definitely worth a visit and is in a wonderful location in the Cimiez area of Nice. We also all enjoyed our tour of the Fragonard perfume factory in Grasse. But we also enjoyed just sitting on the balcony and taking in the amazing views !

  We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a peaceful stay in a lovely part of France. Milly's directions from Nice airport were spot on. We arrived late and even had a pizza ordered for us! The apartment was exactly as listed, and there was plenty of bedding, good quality linen etc. The kitchen had everything you would need to feed and water your family. A large fridge with a good sized freezer compartment, all the crockery, pots and pans you would need are there, and Milly's directions on the way in from the airport also included the location of the local well stocked supermarket, The view from the wide balcony which opens out from the living room is stunning, capturing the view down the Loup valley. There are comfy chairs, sofa, TV, DVD and a hi-fi with plenty of CDs if you forget to bring your own. One criticism: Michael Bolton has no place in *anyone's* CD collection! There is a really handy dresser in the living room filled with toys and jigsaws, which we really enjoyed as we took two young 'uns aged three and five. The two bedrooms were nicely done, and the absence of aircon wasn't really a stress as there are quiet fans in each room. The swimming pool is lovely, refreshing, spotlessly maintained and with great views over the valley. Finally the apartment is well situated for exploring the hilltop towns and villages around the southern coast (Cannes, Monaco, etc.). Ourselves; we went to Cabris (enjoyed fantastic Moule et Frites dinner at the "Mini Grill Restaurant") and Thoule-Sur-Mer which has a fantastic small quiet bay especially good for young children. Bar-sur-Loup itself is lovely. Quiet, pretty and embodying the sleepy French town vibe that is part of the reason for going there. As you can see, we enjoyed it.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

  We spent our best ever holiday in La Bastide Saint Christophe. Milly & Art and their lovely daughters Sophia and Lucy, not to forget their pets bunny and guinea pig - them all create a unique atmosphere of warmth, hospitality, careness and personal touch, making this wonderful house not just a place to stay but more like home, where we are dreaming to come back to. We enjoyed visiting local shops, market, restaurants in charming Le Bar Sur Loup and other villages around. Gourdon, Le Gorges Du Loup, Vence - places not to be missed. Art and Milly were very helpful with their recommendations on where to go to, not to mention guide books, maps and tourist info booklets that we found in the lounge. Also there was a selection of CDs, DVDs, books and even toys to entertain the whole family including our 5y.o. son and teenage daughter. The swimming pool and the area was excellent! Many thanks again to Art and Milly for their great job done to keep the house and for their outstanding customer service to make their guests happy! Igor, Olga, Lisa, Andrey St.Petersburg, Russia

  Das Appartement "Upper Garden" hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir haben uns mit unseren beiden Kindern sehr wohlgefühlt. Die großzügig geschnittene Wohnung mit zwei Schlafzimmer ,Wohnbereich, Bad und WC sowie eine gut ausgestattete Küche ist sehr sauber mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Der eigene Hof- und Gartenbereich mit toller Terasse und vor allem der schöne und gepflegte Pool haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Der Ort Le Bar sur Loup ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für eine Vielzahl von Städtetouren wie z.B. Grasse, Cannes, Nizza und Monaco. Für das Frühstück ist der Bäcker direkt im Ort in ca. 10 Gehminuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten bieten Supermärkte die in einer Entfernung von ca. 3-4 Kilometer liegen. Milly und Art waren sehr hilfbereit, freundlich und tolle Gastgeber. Für Familien eine tolles und empfehlenswertes Feriendomizil. Familie A.Germany

  Wir haben im August 2011 zwei Wochen mit unseren Töchtern (11/13J.) im Upper Garden Appartement verbracht und waren äußerst zufrieden. Die Wohnung war großzügig, sehr sauber und in der Ausstattung sehr gut durchdacht. Vom Flaschenöffner bis zum Dampfbügeleisen ist alles vorhanden. Die Aussicht vom Balkon ist wunderschön und der Freisitz vor dem Haus groß und einladend. Auch den Grill haben wir zwei Mal genützt und entgegen den Erfahrungen in anderen Ferienhäusern war er sehr gepflegt. Der Pool ist nicht riesig, aber war für uns absolut ausreichend. Auch waren immer ausreichend Liegen vorhanden. Der neuangelegte Boule-Platz wurde von uns, mit dem in der Wohnung bereit gestellten Boule-Spiel, fast jeden Abend genützt. Milly und Art sind ganz reizende und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die uns mit allen Fragen, die wir hatten, sofort geholfen haben und uns gute Tipps für Ausflüge ans Meer gegeben haben. Bar sur Loup ist ein kleines aber feines Örtchen und bietet sich für Ausflüge in die Umgebung gut an. Alles in allem also ein sehr gelungener Urlaub und wir würden jederzeit sofort wieder dieses Ferienhaus besuchen.

  Wir hatten in Le Bar Sur Loup bei Milly einen unserer schönsten Urlaube. Unsere Töchter (4, 11 Jahre) liebten den Pool. Super Ausstattung! Wir haben uns einfach nur wohl gefühlt! Die Pizzeria in Le Bar sur Loup ist sehr zu empfehlen!
