What a wonderful villa! The photos provided don't actually do justice to how beautiful it is. The house is gorgeous - decorated to a very high spec - and also cool (in temperature) with excellent kitchen facilities. The garden is really the absolute highlight, and we spent almost our entire week in it! There is a large patio area with a barbeque, where we ate meals, and enough space for 8 to lounge by the pool comfortably. It is such a beautiful space - like a tropical paradise - and to top it off there are 6 adorable tortoises plodding around. I cannot endorse this place more highly and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
The one small downside was the mosquitoes, who are out in the garden in the early evening, but plenty of citronella candles seemed to mostly keep them at bay. It was an annoyance, but in no way spoilt our stay - just bring anti-histamine if you need it!
Annalisa, who met us upon arrival was prompt and helpful, and Claudine was great in terms of arranging everything by email beforehand.
The location is excellent - about a 10 minute walk from the nearest supermarket, which has most things you'd need, and a further 5 minutes down the hill is the Croisette. We didn't actually go to the beach, which is either expensive (you have to pay to sit on most of it) or very crowded, but the shopping is great (and even affordable on Rue d'Antibes, with Zara and the other usual shops) and the bars and restaurants even better. Go right at the Festival Palace towards the old town, and walk up the little lanes of restaurants for fantastic food at excellent value (c.35 Euro pp for three courses + amuse bouche, excl wine).
A car would have been useful for getting to other parts of the Cote D'Azur (and there is space to park one at the house), but we were perfectly happy staying in Cannes and relaxing, so it wasn't necessary for us.
Thanks for a great week - if we come back to Cannes we wouldn't hesitate staying here again!
