This villa is the perfect escape after long days at a trade show. Quiet, secure, close to everything, and scrupulously clean. The decor isn't exactly cutting edge, and the garden, while lovely in the front was a bit unkempt elsewhere. But otherwise everything was clean, neat, and incredibly well cared-for. NOTE for business travelers sharing: the larger of the two bathrooms is inside the master suite, which can make it awkward for two parties to share. Jack, the craetaker, is a sweetheart. He stocked the fridge for us, and drove us all over the place. He was seldom seen but always there when you needed him. The patio overlooking the pool was a gorgeous place to sit and listen to the birds. We didn't use the pool because it was too cold, but it looked very inviting and was actually pretty large. Just a wonderful, special place to stay. THANK YOU!!!!!

Villa Palm Springs is a gem! While the hustle and bustle of Cannes and the film festival are only minutes away, the villa offers a calm and peaceful respite. The apartment is luxuriously appointed and the pool and garden are truly beautiful. Jacky and Sophie are the perfect hosts: warm, inviting and accommodating, and we have enjoyed our annual visits. I would highly recommend a stay at Villa Palm Springs! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

As the snow falls outside our window here in Canada, it makes me look back with longing to this wonderful vacation home in Cannes. Sophie and Jacky were the perfect hosts and the villa was ideal for our family.We were able to walk into town and even hopped on the train to Monaco for the day. Thanks for such a wonderful vacation. Jacky, it was "Tres,tres jolie!" Please feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions regarding this rental property.

Palm Springs Villa is a perfect name for the lovely residence in Cannes that I rented from Sophie at "Welcome 2 France". What a perfect place for a dream vacation in the South of France! This home is very spacious and immaculate, with "all the comforts of home." We loved the beautiful terrace overlooking the pool, the livingroom windows with a wide view out toward the sea. The location was very convenient, and we also felt very safe and secure in this gated community. I researched literally hundreds of vacation residences in France, and this home was by far the nicest I saw, especially at the very reasonable price. It's really a cut above the rest! But above all else, Sophie and her husband Jacky were such wonderful, gracious hosts who helped to make our trip the most memorable vacation ever. I would strongly recommend this vacation home to anyone looking for a "home base" while touring the South of France. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hello Sophie, We are home in Massachusetts and back to our regular routine. We did want to take a moment to thank you for all your help. From the moment we contacted you until we left France you and your husband did everything to make our visit enjoyable. It was so nice to arrive and find milk in the refrigerator and fruit and wine on the table, it was a lovely touch. The Easter Day reservations were perfect, we all enjoyed our dinners. Mougins was a lovely town to visit. We tried to get back there but time ran out. Kristina and I did go to Grasse and visit the perfume factory. We had a lovely time. Peter and the boys went to the islands by boat and also had a great time. I'm sure we will be back again. Thanks again for your hospitality!!! If you are every in Boston, give us a call. Peter and Katherine Tedeschi

Sophie, all we can say is WOW ! Luxury, comfortable & homely, we could not believe our eyes when we saw this Villa Palm Springs in private park with pool & Surroundings. We'll certainly love to return to this place close to Cannes centre & Croisette. Thank you for the best holiday ever! All my family had never thought about renting a Villa at Cote D'Azur before but, now we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. All the staff were really helpful. We have told all our friends and shown them the photographs.

During September 2002 we (several friends) spent a wonderful week in Sophie's villa. Nearby is the town center of Cannes with wonderful shopping, beaches and magnififcant views. The villa is roomy affording both indoor and outdoor gracious living. Also gracious is the villa's hostess, Sophie, who is eager to answer questions and help with guests various needs.

The villa apartment in Cannes was the perfect spot for my wife and myself when we visited Italy, the South of France and portugal last MAy. It was located centrally for all we wanted to see around the Cote D'Azur. Only a short drive from the Nice International Airport via the motorway. The villa is situated in a lovely gated residential parc in the best area of Cannes. It was very private and quiet. Sophie the owner was very helpful to us and showed us special places in Cannes that we would not of found on our own. We are happy to recommend this villa to our family and friends. TVisconsi

My self, my wife Paula, my daughter Julie and her partner John and our grand-daughter Leah spent two weeks in Cannes during the 2002 Film Festival. We socalised with people that we met from all 4 corners of the globe. As a professional photographer I combined pleasure with work and got some great shots. There were a few problems with parking as were travelled in two vehicles, however this did no detract from the holiday. I can recommend a trip to Eze, it is probably the most beautiful place that I have ever visited also Grasse and La Gar De Frenie(please excuse the spelling)are well worth a visit. PS. Rivera Radio is an English language radio station and tuned in when we were travelling. Idris Martin
