Nice

"We have stayed at Le Piol on several occasions in the past 5 years, most recently in June this year. It is accurately described by the owners as a place of great serenity and we have always (even, now, with a young family) found it to be relaxing and invigorating. The outside space is simply spectacular and the villa is cleverly designed to encourage outdoor living. The views are breathtaking; the entirety of the Riviera is on display and the play of light and colour throughout the day, but particularly around sunset, is quite magical. The immediate region is charming; Vence is an appealing place to spend time (a stroll around the old town followed by a coffee and an ice-cream is time well spent) and St Paul de Vence is laughably pretty. Le Piol is well-placed for day trips, including to the coast, which is accessible by car, but we have tended to spend most of our time enjoying the simple pleasures the villa offers. We could not recommend it more highly and look forward to our next visit."
