I am a French citizen but my mother belonged to an Italian immigrant family and was born on the GOLDEN CORNICHE between SAINT-RAPHAËL and CANNES. She remembered to have run barefoot over the red porphyry rocks of LE TRAYAS and to have guided English tourists in the many calanques or small creeks existing along the sea in that area. She loved SOUTH OF FRANCE and used to tell me that every place on the coast and in the VAR PROVENCE where I now live among the vineyards, talked to her.
My mother also transmitted to me her special pleasure in welcoming visitors onto those Mediterranean exceptional destinations. Like her, "I come from the South" and I love the sun, the sea, the beautiful southern culture with the NICE Italian accent and the Provenzal one of MARCEL PAGNOL, the Marseille writer; the extraordinary surroundings of CANNES, ANTIBES, GRASSE, BIOT, SAINT PAUL DE VENCE, MENTON and MONACO, as well as of the old villages of Provence and I enjoy very much that people from other places appreciate the beauty of their landscape, their architecture and history and the way of life of their inhabitants. Any stay in one of my apartments begins with a small chat of information for my guests, giving them some useful tips and advices to have a successful holiday in that magnificent region of FRANCE..
