Beautiful Villa in a Stunning Location
We have stayed in Antibes for the past 7 years, preferring to stay in an apartment closer to town and beaches. However in August 2017, we decided to try renting a house on the cap and we were not disappointed when we saw Stephane’s stunning home.
It is a beautifully and elegantly decorated villa in a tranquil road not far from several beaches (it is only 10min walk to our usual location at the Royal Beach). The villa is larger than the photos might indicate, with four spacious and air conditioned bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom (each is tastefully decorated) and with more than sufficient storage available too. There are plenty of comfortable sitting areas to enjoy hanging out at night...I particularly enjoyed the main sitting room where I could lounge around on the comfy sofas enjoying a glass of wine while the kids loved the TV room / Den area for ‘movie nights’.
The pool is a nice size and it is of varying depths with a shallow end for smaller kids and a deep section for the obligatory diving games. There is sun around the pool area all day and there are plenty of sunbeds to laze on. Surprisingly, it is also very private with no neighbouring houses overlooking it. There are several areas to sit and eat with some places enjoying a great view of the ocean. As with everything in the villa, the pool was always clean and the surrounding area was kept immaculate. The outdoor kitchen also came in handy for storing the kids drinks / snacks and was quite often used for BBQ nights
Several reviewers have mentioned that a car is needed to stay in this location. However I'd like to say that we did not wishful the hassle of driving so we opted to use the taxis recommended in the information booklet provided by Stephane and the service was excellent...very reliable and we only encountered very nice drivers who were all multi-lingual.
We also used a french shopping delivery service (houra.fr) at the beginning of our holiday which was a little pricey but their service was brilliant (although the setting up of the order was a little difficult and patience is required)…hope this helps!!!
It was a real pleasure to be able to stay in the villa for 2 weeks and I would, without hesitation, highly recommend this villa to anyone who wishes to enjoy a fantastic holiday in Antibes...the quality of decor, cleanliness and general ambiance of the house shows that it is a home that Stephane and his family cherish, as did we during our stay
Thanks Stephane!!
