We stayed at this charming villa for an amazing three week family holiday in the summer of 2012. The villa has a lovely homely feel, everything was clean, well maintained and the beds very comfortable. The garden is absolutely fabulous, very well maintained and a haven for relaxing in and alfresco dining after a busy day sightseeing.
Our host Sabyne was friendly and non-intrusive - visiting to ensure that everything was perfect for our stay and drop off a bottle of rose or two (thanks again Sabyne, wish I was enjoying a glass on the terrace right now!!).
The domain provides a peaceful retreat and is a perfect location to explore the region. Monaco and the Italian border are only 30 mins away and there are several picturesque hilltop villages near by which are not to be missed. Our favourite was Tourrettes sur Loup a beautiful medieval village with lovely shops and a village square which is lined with restaurants and regularly has live entertainment on in the evenings. There is also plenty for the children to do, Marineland, the Aquarium in Monaco, boat trips and a lovely family friendly sandy beach in Mandelieu (30 minute drive although there are pebble beach’s nearby) not to mention the pool which was never overcrowded. The kids also appreciated being able to select english to whatch movies and tv. There is a supermarket nearby and a great row off shops along the highway which has a superb delicatessen, patisserie and wine shop.
Anyone looking for a house near a charming hilltop town, without being isolated and has the benefit of being near the coast this Provencal villa would be difficult or impossible in its price range to beat.
Thanks again for the use of your lovely property,
The Anderson family xo
