About Knut Moystad / Lillie Sato
We are a happy family of four who also enjoy inviting our extended family and friends to our retreat in France. We go here as often as we can - as we find this really brings us closer as a family. We love the food, the art, the weather and the people down here.
Knut Moystad / Lillie Sato purchased this villa in 2010
Why Knut Moystad / Lillie Sato chose France
Fists of all we wanted a house close to a village that was not overly touristic. We wanted a short walk into the village, we wanted a pool and we wanted a great view. All this + closeness to the attractions of being in the heart of the Riviera with all that is going on. We found it all in La Calade :)
What makes this villa unique
Lies in an authentic area where you come far enough away from the tourist machine of the seaside - yet close enough enough to get to the beach in 15 minutes and less than 10 minutes from the highway. Stay on a wonderful property, walk into a sleepy town with a few restaurants, go to the gorges of the Loup river or join the crowd and the fun of the Riviera. You can have it all within minutes. Not to forget the best butcher in Provence at the local supermarket ;)

Beautiful villa with view of St Paul-de-Vence
We had a great week here - with no car! The supermarket is close by, and within 1km there are a selection of good French restaurants. The pool is fantastic, we spent our days swimming and enjoying the views, and air-con in the rooms ensured good sleep. Highly recommended!
A Bit Disappointing
Our experience was mixed. Booking was easy. The owner was very responsive & accommodating via emails. Before our departure we received information from the house manager on directions and how to contact her upon arrival to meet for orientation. It all was good starting out. The place looked beautiful in the pictures and it was. We asked if the house could be ready a bit earlier and she was not able to accommodate. Fine. We met her at the house at the agreed upon time, were let in, given keys and openers, quick tour around, an apology that the previous guests left loads of trash and that trash cans were full outside. She was in a big hurry to leave and before we knew it she was gone. We requested the pool to be heated in advance which we were told had been done. The manager, Nicky, said she tested the water and it was very warm, about 85 degrees F. When we went out to go swimming the water was colder than cold. We needed to do some laundry as this was not our first stop so we looked around and no laundry soap! We were told to call Nicky if we needed anything and she would get back with us. We called her and she said there was soap. She told us where to find it but still no soap. We had also asked for hypoallergenic pillows in advance of our arrival and when we got there all but one pillow had feathers. When we called, texted, emailed, Nicky she went radio silent and did not communicate with us at all until the morning we left when she came to get the keys. I gave the one pillow to my daughter and made a pillow from the limited number of towels we had been allocated for use while we were there. (Were were told that our towels were in the bathroom.) There was exactly one towel for each of us for a total of 3 towels. Wow, how generous, especially since we had no laundry soap to wash with when they were dirty! Skimpy on toilet paper, total of 3 rolls and 2 were not full, and hand/shower soap only in one bathroom. She showed how to use the locking system on all the doors and the bars on the windows. BARS ON THE WINDOWS AND DOORS! We were told that this neighborhood gets broken into frequently and that this property has not had that problem but we should be very careful. Not where I would like to spend my vacation worrying if we will get broken into. All in all it was a place to sleep but I would not come back for the price!
Great villa in Côte d'Azur
We stayed here in July/August of 2013. The villa was great for our family of four with 2 small children. The house was close to Nice (~20 min), yet far enough to be away from all the traffic. Many smaller villages surround the area and are easy day trips from the villa. The house itself is great for families. It's well maintained, has lots of children's toys and amenities and of course the pool was fantastic to cool off after a hot afternoon. We enjoyed lovely evenings on the 2nd floor patio looking out over the next village. The air conditioning was great in the bedrooms and upstairs living room. The first floor was cool in the late afternoons as well. Occasional mosquitoes, but they didn't stop us from enjoying the outdoors. Recommend for families looking for a quiet place close to many activities in the Côte d'Azur.
Immaculate Home from Home in the Sun
We stayed here in August 2009. We are in early 40s and we had with us 3 teenage boys (15, 17 & 17). It's a 15 minute drive from the airport and on arrival we were met by the local English agent and were all very impressed by the standard of the accommodation. The pool house is lovely for whiling away the afternoons with a book and the pool is kept beautifully clean. The house is fully equipped, even down to pool towels, plug in mosquito repellents, products in the bathrooms and bags for your shopping. There's not much you need to bring. The owner Rachael was very helpful prior to the holiday in getting us info on transport, local area etc. The view of St Paul Vence is magnificent and turns dreamy pink as the sun sets. We sat many times on the terrace with a glass of wine just gazing at the view. The only niggle we had was that there is only air con in 2 of the bedrooms and as it was 30+ degrees every day, we could have done with it in the living areas. Our sons and their friend used the train station at Cagnes sur Mer to get to the lively resort of Juan Les Pins and to Cannes. One of the trains was very fast and efficient and one was slow and hot - they weren't sure how to determine which one was which, so if you can speak any french it might be an idea to ask.
We visited St Paul Vence which was a very nice way to spend an afternoon, especially as there was a wedding going on in the centre. It is slightly on the comercialised side, but we enjoyed it all the same. There is a mobile Pizza van which stops by the supermarket in La Colle Sur Loup and we can highly recommend those! Don't forget the mosquito repellent for by the pool..we used lots!
A really memorable holiday which we didn't want to end. No hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending this property...Go..you will love it!
