We had a fantastic week with two families. The garden is beautiful, and the house itself is very charming on the inside as well. A big plus is the lovely terrace with comfortable seating and a dining table, which is directly connected to the kitchen. Communication with Marie-Anne was very pleasant. Although you really don’t need to leave the property, there are plenty of nice things to do nearby, and a great supermarket and a lovely bakery are close by.

We had a wonderful stay at this house and really enjoyed our time here. The garden and pool area are absolutely beautiful and were one of the highlights of our holiday. The house also has the charming South of France atmosphere we were looking for, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The location is excellent, with the lovely town of Valbonne just a short walk away. Communication with the host was also excellent throughout the entire process, making everything easy and stress-free.The interior of the house is a little worn in places and could benefit from some updating. However, this did not have a significant impact on our stay.Overall, we had a great holiday and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the area.

We had a great time with our family of 7. One of the things we loved was the possibility to walk to Valbonne, a lovely old village. The house is full of character and very authentic and homely. The garden is excellent for playing games and the pool area is really nice. We had the luck to have figs and kumquat from the garden. Marie-Anne is a great host, very kind and considerate.

Dream stay

We had a wonderful stay in Valbonne. We would highly recommend this very charming house. The house is extremely well equipped both inside and out with lots of little touches. We loved the very spacious garden en pool with all kind of little different corners where you could have a nice afternoon nap in the shades. The house is a 2 min drive away from Valbonne and Cannes and the surrounding beaches are very close as well. But in all honesty there is no reason to leave this lovely house and surrounding grounds. It has all you need for a perfect holiday with adults, kids and teenagers.

Beautiful villa in typical French style

As a family of five, we booked this beautiful property for 7 days. Marie-Anne (hostess) was super friendly and helpful. The interior of the house is a mixture of art, culture and French tradition. We found it incredibly interesting and enjoyed it very much. In the future, however, one or the other would have to be repaired or replaced (skirting strips, silicone in the shower, flush fitting). The location of the property is wonderful and quiet. The pool is huge and was a constant draw for us.In the garden you could pick tomatoes for your own consumption. The vegetable garden could be a bit better maintained though. All in all we really enjoyed our time there. Many thanks to Marie-Ann for this incredibly nice and friendly communication.

Thank you very much for your constructive comment, Rico. We will take your notes into account. Had we known, we could even have made the little repairs you mentionned while you were there (the skirting stip is fixed!) The vegetable garden was a bit neglected this year because of the water restrictions. We concentrated on maintaining the rest of the garden and left the vegetable garden to do its best on its own. You were a very respectuf tenant and I look forward to having you and your family in my house another time. Marie-Anne

wonderful stay despite of the heat wave!!!

we have just returned from a pleasant two week stay at this quirky, charming house. Pleasant moments were had by all at the beautiful pool and dining "en famille" on the patio outdoors-even although we were constantly bombarded by hornets!...Prior to our stay the owner had kindly contacted us and provided necessities for our young grandchild which was much appreciated. We arrived during a heatwave and the house-having no air conditioning-proved insufferable even with fan-forcing two guests to leave early and check into The Fours Seasons Hotel in Nice for the remainder of their holiday. our 3 month old grandson was also suffering terribly-so on our second day we were obliged to purchase a portable air conditioning unit-otherwise the young family would have had to return home for the child's safety-perhaps an AC unit available in one area of the house might be a consideration for future guests comfort. Quirky and charmingly furnished-yes BUT everyday items were " almost all broken and rather tired"-chipped crockery, cracked water glass, make-shift coffee machine(we purchased one on the first day)-broken chairs and sun loungers and parasols, broken bed in the apartment-and unfortunately the fridge broke down during our first week due to the heat in the house-thankfully we were saved by a neighbour who provided us with a spare. But in spite of everything we enjoyed our stay and the owner was extremely helpful.

Your stay sounds like a complete nightmare the way you describe it, and I am sorry about that. The (exceptionally?) intense heat wave was definitely a difficulty. Fans and "management" of the opening and closing of the shutters is normally sufficient as the house is insulated and has enough windows on all sides to create drafts but I may consider having a portable AC for one of the rooms, as you suggested. You never mentioned the hornets to me when you were there, something could have been done easily. Quite a few pieces of the garden furniture were broken when you left. I was disappointed that on your departure, you didn't mention that you had broken them. The Nespresso machine was appreciated by most tenants but thank you adding a coffee machine. News of the fridge: working perfectly again after having turned it off for 24 hours. I am also grateful to my neighbour who kindly accepted my request to lend you his fridge, while the one of the house was taking a rest.

Magnifique maison! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille avec nos quatre enfants au mois de juillet. Les espaces extérieurs étaient parfaits, un immense jardin avec une très grande piscine très bien entretenue! Dans la maison beaucoup d’espace pour chacun, dans une maison tout équipée et très agréable à vivre. Ventilateurs dans chaque chambre. Finalement localisation également au top: au calme mais très proche de tout (magnifique village de Valbonne) et parfait pour visiter les villes et villages environnants. À recommander!

Je suis bien triste de votre notation si sévère alors que si, en effet, il y a eu un problème de réfrigérateur pendant votre séjour, j'ai immédiatement fait appel à un technicien pour le résoudre dès que vous avez signalé le problème. Quant au lave vaisselle, il marche beaucoup mieux depuis que nous avons vidé la tuyauterie des morceaux de verre cassé qui l'encombraient, verres cassés pendant votre séjour.

Sommer 2024

Nach langer, aber entspannter Autofahrt durch Frankreich, wurden wir herzlich von der Vermieterin mit einem kleinen Empfang begrüßt. Das charmante und großzügige Haus war für unsere Reisegruppe (4 Erwachsene, 2 Teens und Hund) ideal. Das großzügige Grundstück mit schöner Aufteilung ließ uns den Alltag sofort vergessen. In ruhiger Umgebung gelegen mit kurzen Entfernungen zum Bäcker und in das bezaubernde Valbonne. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Côte d' Azur (Monaco bis Saint Tropez) sowie das übrige Umland zu erkunden. Wir hatten herrliche zwei Wochen.

Lovely stay

Fantastic location - 15 minute walk to the centre of Valbonne a stunning town, lovely square and busting with restaurants, cafes, boulangeries and patisseries. 25 minutes from Cannes and Antibes. 10 minutes from Biot. Marie-anne was extremely engaging and responded swiftly to any of our questions and was very helpful with recommendations. The villa is large. Has also a separate large bedroom with own shower and washing machine area- so great if travelling with elderly or parents and want a little separate space. The pool was fab, very large. Lots of green space around and tranquility. All in all a fab stay. Thank you!

Schönes Haus, großer Pool, tolles Grundstück

Wir waren zu siebt in Marie-Annes Haus, vier Erwachsene und drei Teenager. Das Haus war bei unserer Ankunft sehr sauber. Der Platz ist ausreichend, es gibt ein zusätzliches Außenbett auf dem großen Balkon zwischen den "Kinderzimmern". Im Erdgeschoss ist ein großes Zimmer mit King Size Bed und separater kleiner Küche und Bad. Hier ist man fast unabhängig vom Rest. Es gibt ein weiteres Bad im Erdgeschoss und noch eines im ersten Stock. Die anderen drei Schlafzimmer, plus Bett auf dem Balkon, sind ebenfalls im ersten Stock. Es gibt 2 Zimmer mit jeweils 2 Einzelbetten und ein kleines Schlafzimmer mit kleinem Doppelbett. Die Betten sind bequem, nicht zu weich. Die Küche ist groß, wir haben aber auch oft draußen gegessen. Es gibt viele Sitzmöglichkeiten und auch Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, z.B. einen Wintergarten. Geschirr und Küchenutensilien sind reichlich vorhanden. Die Ausstattung ist insgesamt gemütlich, heimelig und einfach. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, es war alles da, was wir brauchen. Die beiden Waschmaschinen waren toll. Das absolute Highlight war für uns der wirklich große Pool. Wir waren von morgens bis abends darin, er wurde reichlich genutzt. Das Grundstück ist groß und wunderschön, unser Hund fand es auch toll dort. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, Valbonne ist ein sehr hübsches Dorf und viel näher als Opio. Man kann zu Fuß dorthin laufen. Abends ist es auf dem Marktplatz immer voll, es gibt gutes Essen dort. Es gibt einige Shops dort und Freitags einen großen Markt in der ganzen Altstadt. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen und Marie-Anne ist eine sehr freundliche und bemühte Gastgeberin. Vielen Dank, wir kommen wieder!

tres belle villa dans une région inmanquable

tranquillité et sérénité dans cette villa où tout est pensé et organisé par la propriétaire pour avoir un séjour paisible. Rien ne manque dans cette propriété en outre véritablement habitée par une âme provençale, où l'on peut se promener dans le splendide jardin ou dans les rayonnages des bibliothèques occupant les différentes pièces. On en serait presque jaloux de laisser un tel commentaire, de peur que l'endroit finisse par être connu, trop connu ...
