Amazing spacious villa
Our family and friends stayed here to be close to Nice for the Rugby World Cup. It was our third option of places to stay and it will always be our first for the Côte d’Azur region! The initial one didn’t have enough parking spaces, the second was a bogus post and thankfully VRBO caught it, and then we found this gorgeous home in Biot. We’ve rented many places throughout Italy and France and this one is the tops! This is a five star plus place!!! There are at least 3 master en-suite bedrooms/baths. The extra den room is perfect for children. The other guest room is gorgeous and bright. Four out of the five bedrooms face the pool and views, one is upstairs. There is even an extra shower downstairs. This is the best equipped villa, everything you need is provided. You have HOT water, a luxury in rentals. The pool is amazing, it gets deep fast and perfect for swimmers. They have an excellent fence and alarm available should there be non swimmers in the group. The grounds are impeccably kept, great gardeners. The hosts are amazing and very friendly. We enjoyed meeting Marion and Clare who watch over the rentals. Laurie the gal maintaining the pool and flowers was lovely, I will miss our conversations together. I felt as if we have a family to return to in Biot…we cannot wait to return!!!

Wonderful villa
We had a wonderful week. The villa location is perfect and within a short drive to all the amazing attractions the area has to offer. Mountains, gorges, lakes, beaches and beautiful towns and villages. The villa is equipped with everything you could need with gorgeous large rooms and wonderful views from the stunning gardens. Loved watching the storms from the terrace the night we arrived.

C’était vraiment chouette d’être dans cette maison charmante et comfortable
Nous avons pu faire des sorties diverses tout autour de cette maison si bien située. Le soir on a profité de la cuisine bien équipée et la piscine et la terrasse.

About the host

Hosted by Clare Bulman and Marian Loram

Host profile image
We are an Australian family who have enjoyed, for some years, wonderful holidays with family and friends as tenants at Villa Gezanne.

Why they chose this property

Gezanne came up for sale and we were fortunate to become the new owners. Much to our delight, the previous owners - Marian and her daughter Briane, who had welcomed us so warmly to the property for many years, agreed to continue to greet guests to Gezanne and look after the property. Their local knowledge, kindness and enthusiasm has been wonderful for us and other guests over the years. Marian and Briane live on site in a separate part of the property in the guardian’s flat. We were drawn to Gezanne because of the house's character, spacious garden, history , sizeable pool, pleasant views and its great location - in a quiet secluded area but just a not far from the beach, the village of Biot and Antibes. Gezanne is a great base to explore the Riviera and the Alpes Maritimes and each year we find more and more interesting places to see and things to do.”

What makes this property unique

The rooms are very spacious and light. The house has a welcoming feel to it. The pool is larger than normal for a private villa plus can been heated on request . The garden is large and secluded, with terraces of Olives , Citrus fruits which look stunning when light up at night. The surrounding area is quiet.
