Apartment with Shared Pool & Breathtaking Mountain and Sea Views.

Stayed here for two weeks in the peak summer season. Descriptions on this site are accurate and Andy answered all my queries rapidly. As per previous reviews the apartment is really well stocked with DVD's and lot's of beach kit to use. An excellent welcome pack to give you ideas of how to fill your time. Views are stunning and the local beach "La Figurette" is great for a young family and not as crowded as nearby Theoule. There is so much to do in this area but we did make use of the railway family tickets (short drive to station) to go to Italy and Monaco - less hassle and no searching for parking spaces! Would recommend and hope to be able to come back one day

Without doubt the worst rented accommodation I have stayed in and certainly unfit for a holiday, unless you are a single person with relaxed views on odours and hygiene.

Normally I would think twice about leaving a negative review. In this instance, we were forced to seek alternative accommodation after just one night. Firstly, the space is tight. The small double bed only just fits in the bedroom. The living room/kitchen are considerably smaller than they look in the photos. Watching television becomes an intimate experience.

Things get worse when using the bathroom and seperate toilet, both of which suffer from the combined (strong) odour of chemicals and bodily waste. The property is poorly cleaned and maintained.

The bunk bed has bedding well past it's best and when removed, the sight of spiders scuttling away tells you that you are probably in the wrong place. Ditto the sofa. Please note that it is down to the occupants to clean the place and only your bedding is changed on arrival.

Lastly, the common areas are dark and dingy. We called and texted the owner on our first day. Their response was to ignore our communication. Our holiday, in the end, was great. But only once we had booked accommodation elsewhere.

It is the third time we have come to stay at Les Terrasses, and we cannot recommend it enough. The owners have supplied everything one would need and more to enjoy a holiday. If you havn’t been to the Cote D’Azur before, you are in for a treat here.

We have been by boat to St Tropez and Monte Carlo,,, only one hours journey to each. You can catch the boat all the way there from the nearby fishing village of Theoule Sur Mer. (Which by the way has it’s own array of the most spectacular beaches and beachside restaurants/bars).

It is worth spending a day on the nearby Islands opposite Cannes, Les Isles Des Lerins, take your snorkelling gear from the garage, eat at the wonderful restaurant on the beach below the prison, where the man in the iron mask was imprisoned. This restaurant, boasts black and white photos of so many great film stars from Sophia Lauren, Frank Sinatra, Jack Nicholson, George Clooney ............This where they can escape on a yacht to have a more private lunch, whilst at the Cannes Film Festival.

Cannes is only 20 minutes away by car.

We visited the wonderful mountain village of Mougins and also St Paul D’Vence. Paid 6 euro for a galss of wine at Colombe D’Or retaurant and sat underneath real Picassos which adorn the walls here.

Also a visit to the second largest Canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon, the Gorges du Verdon, not far inland through the purple fields of Provence, north of Grasse. The Gorge has to be seen to be believed.

Otherwise we just loved spending days on the wonderful beaches of Theoule and La Figueritte, or relaxing by the pool.

Travelling along the stunning coast road to St Rapheal, you can climb down to secret beach coves..

Most evenings we liked to take a walk up into the mountains behind the apartment, along the many hiking trails.

And at the end of the day.......Shooting star watching, just laying in the garden late at night, milky way above.

One other thing that is good fun, when snorkeling, try putting a baggette in your speedos or swimming shorts, it is best you do this just as you enter the water to save offence............?

Once you are swimming with your snorkel and mask, release some bread, you wont believe the amount of chick’s......sorry fish suddenly surrounding you.

All in all we can’t wait to go back.

We thought the apartment was terrific and we enjoyed our stay, we did use lots of the additional facilities such as the Wi-fi, snorkeling gear, lilos, DVDs and books about the local area which were an absolutely brilliant addition to our stay. It is an expensive area to stay in and not having to purchase additional, small but essential holiday items was really helpful. The kids really enjoyed reading the welcome/info book and used it to plan days out. The location of this apartment means it is a great base for exploring the French Riviera (With car). We went to places such as St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Antibes and Monaco none of which took more than an hour (We traveled to Monaco by train which we highly recommend...fabulous views!)
