The villa exceeded my expectations. There were six adults in our group -- plenty of space for dining and relaxing -- privacy when one wanted it. Grimaud turned out to be a pleasant surprise -- charming scenery, several good restaurants, and convenient shopping for groceries etc. As for "day trips", Port Grimaud, Sainte Maxime, and Sainte Tropez are close and worth a visit -- Cannes was a little more ambitious. The roads in the area are narrow, winding, and have no shoulders -- drive with care, particularly in Grimaud. A possible problem for "older folk" -- access to the two downstairs bedrooms is via a rather steep stairway. All in all, we had a wonderful ten days at Villa Paradis.
