Dans les remparts de Vence
Gite peu adapté à des personnes âgées ( escaliers , baignoires ...)Un frigo en panne , wifi peu stable et interrompue la nuit, cabine de douche en mauvais état, odeurs désagréables dans les sanitaires, porte de garage difficile à manoeuvrer, chaises en mauvais état sur la terrasse , table de la terrasse très sale . Cela reste néanmoins un gîte de caractère avec un certain charme et bénéficiant d'une vue magnifique. La propriétaire a toujours répondu rapidement et de façon très sympathique à nos demandes. Elle est de bon conseil en ce qui concerne la restauration par exemple .

Beautiful spacious house in medieval ramparts
Our second stay in this beautiful home in Vence and again more than lived up to our expectations. The house itself is generous with its space, plenty of room for our three teenagers to each find their own space when they wanted to be alone. The kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals with a state of the art induction cooker which heated up in a matter of seconds. The roof terrace is lovely and perfect for watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. Location is also excellent, step out from your front door to a picturesque cobbled street within the old city. You have a choice of boulangeries to pick up your morning croissants within a few minutes walk. Also plenty of restaurants although some are quite expensive which made us grateful for the well equipped kitchen. Vence itself gives the experience of living in a small traditional town in the south of France but with the bright lights of the Cote d'Azur easily accessible for day trips, even without a car. Thank you Maggie and John for a wonderful holiday!

Excellent séjour qui nous incite à revenir
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce gîte très bien situé avec son entrée intra-muros dans le vieux village de VENCE et son garage en dehors des remparts ce qui facilite les accès. La terrasse dispose d’une vue à couper le souffle sur les montagnes environnantes et mérite les nombreuses marches de son accès. Les chambres sont spacieuses. L’équipement général est correct. Suggestions: remplacer un des volets du salon qui ne s’ouvre plus et changer totalement le mobilier de jardin hors d'âge, situé en terrasse. Réparer la porte d’un élément de cuisine.

Exceptional location/exceptional host
Discovering this gem in Vence was such a win! This villa is in the absolute heart of the old village…winding cobblestone streets with flowers and decorative doors. The shops are a mere feet away but the location allows for peace and quiet. The windows were open to the fresh French Riviera air and the only sounds were the birds and an occasional scooter. Getting to the garage was a little tricky but super convenient once you’ve done it a couple of times. All of the bedrooms has its own bathroom and they are HUGE! This villa can accommodate so many comfortably. The rooftop terrace was a dream. Our host Maggie responded within minutes if I needed anything so I felt so cared for. This home does have multiple levels so prepare yourself for stairs! The house has lots of steps but Vence itself is pretty flat for an old town. Very few staircases just romantic alleyways. Their new stovetop is also a bit tricky but once I figured it out it was wonderful. I loved every minute in Vence and if you’ve dreamed of a quiet medieval village to feel like you’ve stepped back in time this is your chance!

Lovely house in heart of old city of vence
How wonderful to be in a house built into the ramparts of this medieval walled city with winding cobblestone streets, plazas, parks, and restaurants, Musee de Vence, Chapelle de Matisse, and a cathedral with a Chagall mosaic. Accommodations included large en-suite bedrooms with excellent views of the hills. Be sure to enjoy the roof terrace! We also made day trips to St Paul de Vence and Antibes. Don’t miss dinner at Auberge in Vence, just a couple of minutes walk from the house.
