The property was beautiful. After a busy week in Paris, this was perfect. It is close enough to Nice, but far enough away to enjoy some peace.Jean-Francois was the perfect host with many great suggestions for restaurants and attractions. Nana was very helpful and always available if you had questions.The view from the garden overlooking all of Nice and the ocean was breathtaking. A private pool for us alone overlooking the city and sea. Who wouldn’t like that?The house itself has three toilets which was very convenient as we were travelling with a friend. All bedrooms are ensuite. The kitchen is well appointed with a drip coffee machine as well as a Nescafé machine and an espresso pot. Fresh croissants and bread are a five minute walk away. Highly recommend this beautiful property.

A wonderful vacation in Nice

We had a wonderful family stay at Jean-François' property. There was a lot of privacy and we spent our time outside, enjoying the enchanting garden, private pool and views over Nice. Jean-François and Nana were always available to answer any questions and we felt at home the entire time. We had a car and everything was nearby. We loved our trip!

A breathtaking stay in NiceThe grounds of this estate are absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking, with intoxicating views over Nice. The property itself is incredibly spacious, peaceful, and private. At times, I genuinely felt as though I had an entire resort all to myself.The estate is even more impressive in person than it appears in the photos. It is wonderfully quiet and relaxing, tucked away from traffic and the noise and bustle of everyday life, yet only about a 15-minute drive from the heart of Nice or the airport.François, the owner, was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. I was fortunate that our stays at the estate overlapped for a few days, and he even invited me to pick fresh figs from the orchard on the property, which was such a lovely and memorable experience.Between the beautiful grounds, spectacular views, privacy, and sheer scale of the estate, I truly felt as though I were living the life of the French aristocracy for a week.A very unique and memorable way to experience Nice.

Amazing French Villa within 30mins drive to Nice

A super experience in an amazing old house. Plenty of space both indoors and outside. Some very good restaurants nearby and great walks for the dog! Our host Jean-François was exceptional in welcoming us into his home and gave us lots of ieas about what to do and where to go. We had a great time!

Fantastic family holiday

Just had the most wonderful week at this property - the pictures just don’t do it justice. Plenty of space within the property for five people. Set a little way out of the centre of Nice, a car would be helpful for getting around but we managed well enough using the buses trams and trains. My sister and I loved the beautiful property, hardens & views over Nice...Our boys particularly loved the pool and the dog!

Dear Sally , Thank you very much for choosing the villa Chateauneuf for this summer Holiday . As well as for your nice comments . You would be a welcomed guest if you decided to come back some other time . Hopefully with your father this time . The sad news is that Gaspard has been detected a stomach cancer , and may be not with us for much longer . We are all very sad for this faithful friend . Good luck and best wishes Jean François

Amazing outside space and views

We stayed for 6 nights. Jean Francois was very helpful with information before arrival and Madame Echba during our stay. We had fantastic weather and the outside space , especially the swimming pool and terrace were amazing , 6 stars , with views down to Nice Ville and the Med. I notice the 5 star reviews, but we felt the inside while historic, was tired with some flaking paint and showers/furniture that needed upgrading given the cost of booking. (It is also worth being aware that the third bedroom is accessed via the second) Jean Francois recommended the L'Autobus restaurant, within walking distance, which was superb. The neighbouring boulangerie was excellent and visited every day.

Grand view over Nicr

The accommodations in the lower building at Chateauneuf are comfortable if a bit humble. The washrooms and kitchen are quiet basic. One needs to understand that the chateau is really old. It was was founded in the 16th century as a cool, upland estate in the hills above Nice. Plan to spend your time at the outdoor patio table under the wisteria arbor or on a chaise at the pool. The views down over Nice and the Cote ‘Azure are a incomparable. The towels are thin and the beds small, but the pleasure of being up above the city in the quiet of an evening outweigh these trivialities.

A wonderful stay in a wonderful place

"We had a wonderful winter holiday in the villa. Everything was absolutely perfect: a beautiful historical house with all the things you need for a happy stay, a well-kept garden with olive, lemon and orange trees, breathtaking views of Nice and the sea, very beautiful surroundings and a lot of places to see at a reasonable traveling distance. We had a special pleasure to meet Mr. J.-F. de Blanchetti and Madame de Blanchetti who are very nice, friendly and hospitable. The staff, speaking four languages, is exceptionally kind and helpful and did their best to make our holiday absolutely wonderful. We have already recommended the villa to some our friends and are dreaming of coming there again. Thank you very much for the most enjoyable holiday!!!! Leonid, Helen (Russia), Ursula (Austria) "

Mediterranean Villa with Pool

This was a fantastic property. So glad we booked it. The Villa grounds are large and serene. There were staff tending to the gardens and property regularly to keep it fresh. The estate shares with the main house and another rental, but we didn’t know if anyone else was there or not (other than staff) because the property has so much privacy. We were able to stroll the grounds, enjoy fountains, a frog pond, gardens, and pick oranges and lemons. The pool is huge and quite deep and offers great views of Nice and the coast. The outdoor terrace was used quite often for meals and morning coffee. The place is very grand and offered everything we needed. There could have been more towels and products but everything else was perfect. The property is also in s gated community with its own gate as well. Very secure. Would definitely stay again!

Die Unterkunft ist besonders. Wir haben in einem Pavillon neben einer Villa gewohnt. Der Außenbereich ist wunderschön, sehr gepflegt und besticht durch einen tollen Blick über Nizza auf das Meer. Es ist sehr ruhig und erholsam. Der Innenbereich ist ebenfalls besonders, an der einen oder anderen Stelle schon ein bisschen ab gewohnt, was aber nicht weiter störend ist, wenn man keine moderne Unterkunft erwartet.

Toller Aufenthalt

Die Villa liegt an einem wunderbaren Ort. Der Gastgeber und die weiteren Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und gaben uns auch wertvolle Tips. Die Bäder sind teilweise renovationsbedürftig, aber das war uns aus anderen Rezensionen bewusst. Alles in allem ein wunderbarer Ort.

Lieu magique aux effets enchanteurs

Un environnement et une habitation fantastiques qui ont fait de notre réunion familiale un moment inoubliable. En ce début Mai, tout était en fleurs et en parfums, rosiers, jasmin, iris.. Une vue époustouflante sur Nice et la mer. Une villa avec une âme et une histoire. Une lumière qui sublime l'architecture... L'extraordinaire disponibilité, gentillesse et serviabilité du propriétaire et de son équipe. Un lieu où il faut aller pour vivre la douceur méditerranéenne..

This place is heavenly

We stayed in the property with 4 adults. The house is very clean and spacious, having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The third bedroom has to be reached th through the second, but that no problem. Spacious garden, splendid 180° view and a large large large swimming pool. Overall depth is about 1.60m, I guess. The Gairaut community is very well situated, in the north of Nice. It’s a few minutes away from the highway and the Tramway ligne 1 terminal station (Sappia). As the tramway station has a large covered and free carpark, we always took the tram to the city centre (1€ per ride). Close to the property is a boulangerie (a bit of a strenious walk up the hill) and a Casino shop to be reached by car. Saying this all, our holiday was heavenly. We could not have chosen a better place to stay. The lady-housekeeper and the owner were very polite and pleasant persons. Thanks for making our stay an unforgettable experience, after two years of covid-lockdown! ;-)
