We had a magical time staying here – the location is beautiful, with two beaches within a ten minute walk. The house itself is extremely special. We loved exploring the garden, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and noticing all the little design features throughout the interior and exterior. Check in/ check out were both smooth, and communication was excellent throughout. We would happily stay again.

Thank you very much, Rosalind, for your feedback following your stay. It is true that we have loved maintaining this family villa for over 30 years. As for the exterior and the garden, my husband enjoys gardening and creating a beautiful Mediterranean landscape. I take care of the house's furnishings and décor. Do come back whenever you wish; we would be delighted to welcome you again. The French Riviera is beautiful outside of the summer holiday season, too! Sophie

Tender was the night !

We had a wonderful time at this summer rental! The view from the balcony was stunning, we could see the ocean and the mountains in the distance. The neighborhood was great, very friendly and quiet. We enjoyed walking to the nearby shops and restaurants, there was something for everyone. The house itself was spacious and cozy, with many different spaces to offer. We loved the sunroom, and the patio. Each room had its own charm and atmosphere. We felt like we had a different experience every day. This was the perfect place for a relaxing and fun family vacation!

Charmy house

Overall The Frenchmen are very friendly and service minded! But beware, some drive like crazy - especially the motorcycles! There is a lot to experience; the mountains, the air, the views, the sounds, the smells, the tastes. Don't miss swimming in the Mediterranean - it's a must! Benefits - 2 large master bedrooms, 1 small child room and 1 room with 2 bunk beds devided by by a curtain. - Large living / dining room with tv and sea view. - 2 terraces; one large with sea view and one smaller by the kitchen. - 1 large porch with glass walls (for windy days). Minor setbacks - The wallmounted awning over the main terrace doesn't work. And the portable awning want to fly away... - Nice if the garden got some maintance. - Annoying traffic noise (many houses after this address) Note: we were not bothered by the railway. The French system for garbage and recycling is a bit challanging!

Wir haben diese bezaubernde Villa für einen Familienurlaub gebucht und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. Sophie und ihr Mann sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Sie stehen mit Rat und Tat zu Seite und melden sich super schnell bei Fragen. Die Villa ist eine äußerst charmante alte Lady, die sehr gepflegt und sauber ist. Auch bei der Ausstattung fehlt es an nichts. Es gibt genügend Geschirr, Besteck, Gläser, Töpfe, Auflaufformen usw.. Die Ausblicke aufs Meer sind geradezu malerisch und man kann davon nicht genug bekommen. Der kleine Supermarkt um die Ecke hat alles, was man für den Tag braucht, für größere Einkäufe sollte man zum Auchon nach Mandelieu-la-Napoule fahren. Auch die kleine Badebucht Notre Dame in 5 Gehminuten Entfernung ist zauberhaft - für morgendliches Schwimmen super geeignet, man kann dort aber auch gut länger verweilen.Einen Urlaub in der Villa können wir wärmstens empfehlen. Ich vermisse den Ausblick schon jetzt.

Bonjour Eileen, Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire positif sur notre villa familiale. Nous sommes toujours vraiment ravis quand le séjour de nos hôtes se passe bien. C’est vrai que les vues sur la mer depuis la grande terrasse sont toujours magnifiques à toute heure de la journée. Nous mettons beaucoup d’attention effectivement à l’entretien de la maison et du jardin, qui est entretenu avec amour par mon mari Bertrand. N’hésitez pas à revenir, notamment quand vous repenserez à ces beaux paysages et ces belles vues mer au cœur de l’hiver 😉 Sophie

Superbe villa avec vue exceptionnelle

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la terrasse avec sa vue à 180 degrés sur la mer et la petite crique « notre dame » à 7mn à pied. Mr Campion nous a reçu chaleureusement et nous a donné de bons conseils pour le séjour et recommandé de bons restaurants. La maison est un peu vieillissante et mériterait un rafraîchissement mais ce n’est pas le plus important. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Stort, charmerende, palæagtigt hus med masser af fine detaljer, der vidner om en storhedstid, som ligger nogle år tilbage - og ikke mindst en pragtfuld havudsigt. Gåafstand til flere gode strande, supermarked og 15 minutter til fods til jernbanen til Cannes/ St. Raphael.

Romantisch-antik mit wunderbarer Meersicht an schöner Lage

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Sowohl für Badetage - bis zum herrlichen Kiesstrand in einer geschützten Bucht sind es nur wenige Gehminuten - wie auch als Basis für Städteausflüge (Cannes, Monaco, Nizza, St. Raffael, St. Tropez sind mit dem Auto als Tagesausflüge sehr gut erreichbar). Auf der Veranda hat man eine wunderbare Meersicht. Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter!

Très belle maison fonctionnelle, de bon gôut avec un jolie et sobre décoration.

Nous sommes satisfaits aussi bien par l'accueil du loueur que par la varanda fermée, les balcons et la magnifique terrasse . Le jardin parait sauvage avec ses nombreuses plantes méditerranéennes mais son petit chemin est tellement agréable à parcourir ! Seul bémol mais important : l'orage qui nous a privés pendant 3 jours de toute connexion, TV et internet .

merveilleuse maison pleine de charme,vue splendide

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine aux Camelias, à deux familles ( adultes et 4 ados). La maison a un charme fou, elle est confortable, bien équipée, et décorée avec beaucoup de goût.... et cette vue incroyable à 180 degrés sur la mer ! Difficile de décoller de la terrasse, tellement celle-ci est magique. La crique la plus proche, à 8 mn à pied, est jolie et pratique, l'eau y est limpide, pleine de poissons... mais on a surtout adoré (en plein mois d'août !) pouvoir se baigner dans des petits coins tranquilles, sur les rochers rouges qui jalonnent la côte. On a aussi fait des balades magnifiques dans le massif de l'Esterel, en partant de chemins au dessus de la maison. Etant très sensibles au bruit, on avait peur d'être gêné par la voie ferrée qui passe pas loin, on ne l'a pas été du tout. Le train est d'ailleurs très pratique, il nous a permis d'aller à Cannes en 15 mn, sans utiliser la voiture ( Par contre, la voiture est nécessaire pour faire ses courses alimentaires au quotidien). En résumé : on reviendra aux Camélias !

Quel charme !

Un séjour idyllique dans cette maison au charme ancien . Le plus plus marquant: - ces grandes chambres avec une vue sur mer bluffante - la terrasse qui à l'ombre de la vigne grimpante offre la même vue - l'Estérel qui débute là où est située la villa et qui offre la possibilité de promenades grandioses. A recommander !
