This apartment is the came-true dream of the owner couple, you can see it in every detail. It's not big, it could sleep 3, but they prefer 2 guests and in fact it works best with two. The interior is extremely tasteful, with very interesting paintings/prints at the walls, real art, and 100% matching play of all colors. We felt at home from the very first second on.
The open kitchen may seem small but is well + fully equipped. What we missed was an espresso maker. So we bought one in the local store (and took it back home with us, sorry).
The loosened bathroom sink was not really a problem for us. The agency informed us, and we took care. They told us it will be fixed this fall. On the other hand you have a multi-million-dollar-view on the mountain-villas during showering. Very Cool.
The views from the 270 degree terrace (east-south-west) are absolutely breathtaking!!! We could not stop looking over the village, the mountains, the villas, the sea, the harbour, the coastal line till Monaco, Cap Ferrat, and all the incredible big yachts anchoring in the bay. A late breakfast on the spacious western terrace, still shady but warm, watching the mountains? Check! A late sundowner on the south-eastern terrace, watching the bay, the yachts and occasionally celebrated fireworks? Check!
Living here is not very quiet during daytime, this is true, but Beaulieu is a small but pulsating little town, full of life, including an elementary school on the other side of the street - we enjoyed everything. Walking distance to the market place is only 2 mins.
Tenant Quinto R. did not love the private garage, "130m too far away"... well... next time he could buy a parking ticket for one week, it costs less than 20€ (you can use every parking lot in Beaulieu with it. If you find one. And if you never complain about scratches or broken-off mirrors - streets are very narrow). Logically we loved the garage in the gated backyard round the corner, pure luxury in Beaulieu!! And spacious enough for a 5m-sedan and two bikes.
We have been to Beaulieu and Saint-Jean since 30 years, stayed in several hotels, lived in rented villas or apartments, and we were first-timers here. This apartment was our highlight, one of the best places to be in Beaulieu (as a couple), and worth the money. We'll be back, for sure!!
