REVIEWS BY OUR RENTERS
London Date of
Stay: September 2008
A good villa in a beautiful location with views down to the
sea. It is a 30 drive down to Nice but the local villages have shops and
restaurants. The owners were very helpful and easy to deal with. The beds
need improving though if I was to stay again. The double on the ground
floor is a metal bed that squeaks and rattles so I moved out of it after 1
night and the second double upstairs is in a room with only a skylight and
sloping ceiling. The best bedroom which has a terrace balcony is set up
with 2 single beds. This should be the master double room and the skylight
room the "kids twin" room.

Kent Date of
Stay: August 2008
We had a lovely 2 weeks at the property at St Jeannet, The
property was clean, well maintained and it is a good base to get to the
Riviera resorts like Nice, Antibes, Cannes, Monaco even Italy !
Beautiful surroundings, lovely local villages. The little restaurant in
the Place de L'eglise in La Gaude was wonderful (they don't take credit
cards !) Great food ! You must book if you want to go there on Friday
nights ! But do try it for lunch too ! Pool was great ! and the kids loved
it ! Plenty of books and games to keep us occupied in the evenings. We
had a good rest, and a great holiday! Rating 5 out of 5.
Wimborne,
UK Date of Stay: June 2007 and
again in 2010
We had a wonderful holiday in St Jeannet in 2007 and
returned again this year. The location was just what we
wanted; a typical French hilltop village about 1 kilometre away BUT also
the cosmopolitan Riviera attractions an easy drive. So we were able to
stay in the villa when we just wanted to relax by the pool,drink some wine
and play boule but we could also drive to Cannes, Nice and Monaco on the 3
days when we felt more energetic. The views from the property towards the
sea are superb and we also climbed to the top of the nearby Baou from
where we could see Corsica. We ate in the Vieux Four pizzeria in the
village and also found a couple of excellent friendly restaurants in
nearby Vence (Le Pigeonnerie and Clemenceau). The interior of the villa
was clean and comfortable; there was no TV (but there was a DVD player and
DVDs) or airconditioning but we knew that in advance and we guess the
price reflected that. We would recommend, with the proviso that a rental
car would be desirable to get the most out of the surrounding area (there
are so many places to visit).

Ely, UK Date of Stay September
2011
The villa is situated in a quiet oasis above the coast. The
lovely old village centre of St Jeannet is only about a 10 minute walk
away. As the villa is at about 450 metres above sea level, the views are
spectacular. A car is necessary as there are so many picturesque villages
to visit (Gourdon, St Paul, Biot, Vence etc) all within a short drive. But
if you are lazy, the villa faces south and gets sun all day so it is ideal
to sunbathe by the pool. The atmospheric modest pizzeria in the old
village offers the best pizzas we have tasted.
