Great location, nearby patisserie and deli. Felt very safe walking in the area. Lots of walking to restaurants, grocery store but enjoyable, you get lots of steps in! Rudi was always very helpful with our needs which was greatly appreciated.
The appart was nice, confortable, near the seaside. Valérie was always available. No problem parking, always a space in our street. We recommende this location.
Perfect location with the mediterrean right across the street and a really good restaurant on the property. Apartment was a listed. I liked it very much.
The apartment was very clean. Great location across the street from a sandy free beach. Several blocks to the boulangerie and small grocery store. The kitchen was well supplied. The shower had great pressure and the bed was comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
The property was brilliant and in a great location. The beach was beautiful. The host was very accomodating and communication was very good. The accomodation needed a little update but this would not put us off and we would return in a heart beat. The pillows maybe need renewing as they were a little bumpy and uncomfortable.
Review This was a wonderful apartment to stay in. The location is perfect. It's comfortable and lovely. It was a firm bed, just as I prefer.Valerie was so kind and helpful. Thank you Rudi and Valerie for your kindness and our stay here.
We had a great time staying in Antibes and being so close to the beach. Large apartment; well stocked kitchen and we appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella. Great communication with the property manager; she was very sweet and accommodating .
lovely stay in a convenient area, nice balconies, neighbours not necessarily noisy but sound really travels in the building - otherwise great stay and would stay again.
Had a great week at this property with our family of four. Great location, just moments from the beach and walking distance to the old town (15 mins) and Juan Le Pins (20).
The apartment itself is very spacious and well equipped. Not super modern but has everything you will need.
Nice pool to use too!
Highly recommend
Everything was fantastic, perfect location, welcome pack was very thoughtful and appreciated. Valerie was so helpful nothing was too much trouble. Everything you could want was provided. So close to a beautiful sandy beach. Great value for money. Hope to come back some time.
The apartment was spacious, well equipped ,well maintained along with an excellent location 50 m from the wonderful plage de la Salis.
Excellent host.
Absolutely merits a return stay.
Highly recommended.
Spacious and light filled apartment. Many amenities. Valérie, who takes care of the apartment, is lovely.
Building is across street from the Plage de la Salis, a sandy beach, gorgeous Mediterranean view.
Fairly easy to reach the old town and Picasso Museum.
The apartment is much bigger than it looks In the photos so we had more than enough space for our little family of three. The location is perfect with a short walk Into old town and the beach literally over the road.
I can’t recommend this place enough and we will definitely be looking to use this place again.
Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you, thank you.
We strive to make the place as welcoming and comfortable as possible, and we are immensely rewarded by your comments.
Come back soon,
This is our 3rd holiday period in Antibes -- such a great Riviera city. This time it was 11 days. The apartment has a lot of room and was comfortable. It does need an overall thorough cleaning, we noted. We ourselves have a rental on VRBO, and provide more thorough cleaning in it. But all is very practical for our needs. We recommend it to others. Rudi and Valerie were very helpful and great communicators.
Everything regarding our stay in this apartment was wonderful; the location is excellent, a
comfortable walk to old town and surrounding areas and a block or so to the bus station to reach surroundings. It is also 1 minute away from two beaches. The building is secure and the apartment is furnished comfortably. Special note about the sofa bed; never came across such high quality and comfortable sofa bed. The apartment had literally everything one needed, even coffee pods, spices, etc. that was remarkable. Special thanks to Valerie for her assistance and kindness. We will be back!

Excellent apartment and location
On arrival, we were met by Valérie. A nice lady who gave us the keys and gave us the information regarding apartment etc. Gave us a bottle of wine and some lovely fruit, nice gesture.
Apartment well equipped and comfortable. Location perfect, walking distance to restaurants and bars. Beach bang across the road, result. Of course, there is also a pool at the apartments. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had another wonderful stay at Rudi and Diana's apartment. It is in a safe and secure building 3 minutes from the beach. It was spotlessly clean, having everything we needed for the week: comfortable bed and sofa, washer, plenty of linens (good quality), good dishware and pots and pans, air conditioning, and a great location with a view of the sea from the balcony. Valerie met us with keys and snacks to start off our vacation and made herself available quickly when we had questions. We have visited Antibes many times but this is our favorite place. Thanks to all of you for a most memorable vacation. We will be back!
This is a comfortable apartment in a nice location just steps from the shore and a short walk into the old town. The host, Diana, couldn’t have been more responsive and helpful. If you come with a car and aren’t used to the very tight parking garages in France, be forewarned. After one attempt to maneuver our small car in the garage, we gave up and parked on the street—and that posed no problem at all. Always plenty of spaces. We would definitely rent this place again. Thanks, Diana.

I am so happy to hear that you found everything to your liking, except the size of the garage, which is so true. I have just posted the dimensions to better inform our guests.
Looking forward to having you again in this little slice of paradise.
Diana,
My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay at Diana’s beautiful apartment. Antibes is an excellent location to launch other day trips along the Riviera, but this apartment also boasts an ideal spot steps from the beach and the amazing sights/shops/restaurants of the old historic centre. We were greeted upon our arrival by the kindest, most pleasant manager (Valerie) and the apartment was spotless. I would love to come back to Antibes and stay in Diana’s perfect apartment in January or February when the crowds are likely thinner, but in this apartment, you cannot go wrong in any month of the year. Thank you very much Diana and Valerie!

Thank you so much. I forwarded your comments to Valérie as well. Please come back and visit again. You have been the perfect guest.
Diana
The apartment was quite comfy and well maintained. All the appliances worked well, the cable TV had about ten English language news channels, the wi-fi speed was excellent, and the furniture was of high quality. One small caveat is that noise from adjacent apartments was not muted by the concrete construction. The apartment was centrally located to walk the narrow lanes of Cap D'Antibes and view the gorgeous villas. The beautiful beaches of Juan-les-Pins were a short walk away. Antibes is centrally located facilitating day trips from St. Tropez to Menton. Highly recommended.
Thanks to generous help from the owner Diana and the landlady Valerie a problem with leakage of water in the zink was very fast fixed. We called Valerie and the same day she visited us to see what was the problem. Se contacted the owne and the next day Valerie came with a plummer and installed a new and very high quality tap. The problem was excellent solved and we had a lovely week in Antibes thanks to Diana and Valerie!.

The Engelmarks were perfect guests, and we are fortunate to have them. They were patient with us to find a plumber, who could replace the faucet to stop the leak right away.
We would love to have them again.
We had difficulty finding the place when we arrived. We had no email or message with contact numbers from the host or Valerie. It was only when Valerie rang me, that we could get in to the flat.
The flat is in need of decoration, there is small corners of wall paper peeling off of the walls, but the flat was clean and tidy.
We had a lovely week, bed was comfy, kitchen had all we needed, great shower, a bit of English tv, coffee shop over the road, bakery very close and town about 20 mins away.
We hired a car to explore the area, and had no trouble trying to park near the flat.
We also got the train to Cannes and then to nice, easy to park at the station, and regular trains running.

Diana's apartment
We spent the week of May 14 - 21 2011 in this apartment in Antibes and absolutely fell in love with the location and apartment. There were three of us which I think is ideal since there is only one bathroom. Diana was very helpful and prompt with her emails. The apartment was very clean and the pictures are very accurate. The kitchen is well stocked and a small grocery store is close by. Her housekeeper does not speak any English which can be a problem but if you contact Diana in advance as far as transportation from the airport, clean up expectations, etc. that is not a problem. You can walk everywhere. The train station is about a 20 minute very pleasant walk from the apartment. No need for a car. We visited Cannes, Eze, Monte Carlo, St Paul de Vence, Nice, and Antibes. We ate lunch wherever we were touring and cooked a nice dinner in the apartment at night. Buses did not run frequently near the apartment and were not running at all on Sundays. Museums are closed on Tuesdays. I would absolutely recommend this apartment and owner to a friend or relative. This was the best vacation I have ever had!

We are so happy to hear that everything was to your satisfaction. We strive to make this little a true Pied A Terre for our guests. As we mentioned earlier, there will be a discount whenever you decide to visit us again.
We are a couple of “tired around the edges” OAP’s and over 40 years ago we first came to stay in self catering accommodation in Antibes, at that time with our children and in laws, when the children were young we came more or less every year. We always liked to spend time on the Salis beach and to visit the restaurants in the Old Town. Over the years, we have visited and stayed in various properties, including a close by local hotel. This year we stayed in this spacious one bedroom flat which offered easy access to both the Salis beach and a short stroll to the old town. In spite of the weather being the worst we had experienced in Antibes, for the time of year, we had a very enjoyable holiday. We haven’t been self catering for a long time and I was delighted to find everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The first impression of the flat was that it was very “tired around the edges” and we knew it lacked a dishwasher. As the days carried on, we became fonder of the flat by the day, the sun (when out) was on the bedroom and kitchen balcony side in the morning and the sitting room side in the afternoon. We knew we wouldn’t be looking directly at the sea, but the views on both sides were mainly private and leafy green trees…if you forgot the car park on the bedroom and kitchen side. The onsite swimming pool was great too. The host and caretaker could not have been more helpful. So, not a typical glamorous 5 star, but a great base at a reasonable cost.
