Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose St. Jeannet
For many years we had been travelling in Italy and Southern France. Finally we focused on the French Riviera which we found having a fantastic selection of possibilities regarding tourist sites, nature and picturesque villages together with all the entertainment in Nice, Monaco and Cannes. Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea all year round and only one hour drive to the nearest ski pist in winter were also adding to the choice. We then made a strategic document describing everything we wanted for our future villa regarding size, location, orientation, number of rooms, pool, view, distance from the airport, walking distance to a charming village with restaurants etc. After intensive search the villa-st-jeannet was found to fullfil all the wishes and it was purchased in 2003.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
The villa in St. Jeannet is situated just outside the charming medieval village and every morning it is a fantastic experience to walk up to the bakery enjoying the magnificent views over the French Riviera all the way. Sometimes a visit to the butcher is also part of the stroll. He has the best meat possible including that of his his own lambs in the surrounding mountains. The morning coffee and the lunch are enjoyed on the terrasse at the pool and in the evening the external kitchen is the base for grilling the meat and vegetables. Sometimes the meals are enjoyed in one of the village restaurants or in the old city of Vence nearby. Other days visits are made to one of the many art museums or the markets in Antibes. If the need of exercise is there a walk to the top of the 800 m Baou just behind villa certainly makes you fit. After that a relaxing stay at the pool makes you think life is just worthwhile!
800 m (2600 ft) high rock with marvellous view over C�te d'Azur and the Mediterranean Sea. Famous for rock climbing but also accessible by foot for ordinary people.
5 miles from the villa you find the most famous historic medieval village in Southern France with breathtaking views from the ramparts and lots of galleries with contemporary art and fashion shops. Enjoy a drink in front of the boule range where Ives Montand used to play, or play yourself.
Famous museum of modern art with works of Chagall, Miro, Moore, Matisse etc situated in a beautiful park.

We have received the following mail from one of our guests: Hello, Mr. Janus We have returned from our all too short trip to France and I just wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with our stay at your villa in St. Jeannet. It is a beautiful and comfortable home with an amazing view of the surrounding hills and the Mediterranean. I particularly enjoyed the sun porch early in the morning with the Baou St. Jeannet casting its shadow over the hills. Although the drive up was a bit challenging, we soon learned to negotiate the curves without too much difficulty. Thank you for allowing us to rent your lovely home...... ......Thank you, also, for recommending the Chantegrill restaurant. We had dinner there three times during the week and were very pleased with both the food and the friendly service..... ......But, again, our time at the Villa St. Jeannet was very enjoyable and I would readily recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the surrounding area. Once more, thank you for making it available. Sincerely, M.C. Of course you may use my comments however you like and I would be happy to talk to anyone considering renting your house. It would be a pleasure to recall and share memories of our wonderful week there.... ....Once more, thank you for allowing us to rent your lovely home. It really surpassed all our expectations.
