  We stayed for 1 week and found the villa just what we needed. The location and views were excellent and we were particularly impressed with the quality of the facilities. It had everythingh we needed and greatly contributed to the enjoyment of our week in the South of France. We hope to return soon. Thanks again Mary Ann

  My wife and I shared this wonderful property with another couple for two memorable weeks last month [May 2012]. The villa was more than we were expecting. It was exactly as advertised but much larger and the view from the extensive deck was beyond our wildest anticipation. It was well maintained and the kitchen was equiped with top quality utensils. The rooms were carefully decorated with lovely wall coverings and the whole place felt very comfortable and secure. The businesses at the bottom of the hill were very handy and within easy walking, although I would recommend having a car rental for getting around the area. The only negative was the thirty-five steps up to our level from the extensive private parking area...but oh, the resulting view of the harbour!

  My husband and I, our friend and his two daughters, spent a delightful week at Villa Maitena in mid-July and greatly enjoyed the lovely flat, with its excellent stereo system (you can bring your own CDs or ipod), well-equipped kitchen, immaculately clean and pleasant rooms and bathrooms. Of course, the outstanding feature was the deck with the stunning view of Villafranche. We spent all our time when not seeing the sights, longing on the deck, reading, and sharing our meals there. We saw the fireworks for July 13 (a day early) from the deck over Villafranche and the next night, strolled up to the atmospheric Fort St. Albans 5 minutes away to watch them over Nice. While we walked up from utterly charming Villafranche at the water in about 25 to 30 minutes, with heat and narrow roads, walking in summer may not be the best option. We also drove, and buses into Nice are convenient (14 and 82)—I think they run till ~ 8 pm. Especially during high season, returning to the serenity of the deck at Villa Maitena after the many sightseeing choices was peaceful, and I sometimes walked up to Ft. St. Albans for the even more amazing view there. We were thrilled with Villa Maitena and also felt it was excellent value for the money. We are grateful to the owner for the care and attention she has put into furnishing and providing this truly lovely flat.

  We spent 2 weeks in this beautiful apartment overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The interior, the balcony, the grounds, the location were wonderful. Every morning we awoke to a glorious view of the sparkling Sea. From here we could travel to Nice, Cannes, St. Tropez, Monaco in a fairly short time. On Fridays there is a huge open air market in Ventimiglia, Italy. A train ride, which is located just a few minutes from the Villa, takes you there in about an hour for about 12 euros. The owner was available to us at all times. Just at the bottom of the hill from the Villa there is a wonderful restaurant specializing in Paella as well as a grocery store, patisserie, butcher shop and post office. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the Nice area.

  My family and I planned a trip to France and came across this wonderful villa right between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Nice. We had incredible views and were walking distance to Nice and Villefranche. At least for us it was walking distance. Their was a trail just above us into the woods with more views. There was a baker, butcher and grocery store 3 minutes away. We had a wonderful time cooking and relaxing on the terrace. We all enjoyed ourselves and will return again when we can. You have everything you need to feel like it's your own home away from home. You want to be a local and explore the Cote d'Azur? This is the place for you!!

  My family and I enjoyed a fantastic week in this apartment. The views were so beautiful and we would sit on the big patio for breakfast, drinks and dinner and enjoy the great light. The interior was so fresh and clean and spacious and we were never in each others way. We would definitely recommend it and hope to return.

  We stayed in this beautiful home overlooking the city of Nice on one side, and the village of Villefranche on another. The location was perfect for driving or taking the bus into Nice or driving and walking into Villefranche! Its very easy to get to all the major roads and the airport from here. This rental is truly feels like home and furnished with very comfortable beds and linens including beach towels. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the patio is very large, with extraordinary views, and large eating table and lounge chairs. The family room is set with a high quality TV and cable service. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and there is a clothes washer dedicated for guests. The whole houses sits behind a privacy fence and gate, and there is ample parking within the courtyard. Villa Maitena is a wonderful place to stay.

  We Stayed at Villa Maitena from Oct 4-11, 2008 with another couple. It is a clean, spacious and fully equipped with an excellent location to all the nearby towns on the French Riviera. We were in awe when we saw the terrace with the spectacular view. All of us would love to return to this amazing villa someday.

  Our family of 5 spent 2 wonderful weeks at Villa Maitena. The views from the terrace are beautiful, the accomodations spacious and clean, and the location convenient. It was more than we expected. We would definately consider returning to this villa.

  I stayed at Villa Maitena with my husband, son & son's friend for a week 4-11 August, 2007. We were really impressed with the quality of the apartment. It had everything we needed & was close to local shops & buses. Views from the apartment were wonderful & it was lovely to have meals outside on the terrace after days out sightseeing. We were spoilt for places to visit nearby (too many to fit into one week) & one day we hope to return. The owner was on hand to give advice if required & we found this most useful. Highly recommended.
