My family and I spend our summers in France and we have tried many properties along the coast - with mixed results.
Having said that, I am pleased to say that this house stands heads and shoulders above the rest. If you are looking for some peace and tranquility with your partner or family - this is the place to be.
The house itself is Provencale in its look and feel, yet also really modern and well-furnished inside. Fantastic kitchen with cooking island and three fridges (!), including one for wine.
Bedrooms and bathrooms (including a master bedroom with a steam room) were as nice as any hotel we have stayed in - tastefully decorated and well fitted.
Our daughter loved the mezzanine room with the spiral staircase. In the garden, a lovely good-sized heated pool awaits you. Amazing unobstructed views over the hills all the way to the Med!
Table-tennis, badminton, boules court, table football all there to keep the kids busy. Great pool-house with full kitchen facilities, BBQ and even a shower and changing room in the basement.
Best of all is the beautiful garden full of flowers, lemon trees, and giant palms. I could go on and on! For those picky ones among you, the light switches in the living room were a tad bit complicated, but I figured it out with the help of my wife.
Lionel, the manager, was very friendly and the house manual really helpful. Valbonne and Biot were only 5 mins away by car - or a nice walk. Very convenient having a Carrefour and patisserie at the roundabout next to the entrance to the estate.
This house definitely deserves its 5 star rating...we would give more if we could! Highly recommended. We'd be happy to return next year!
