If paradise on earth exists, it is here ....
"S'il existe un paradis sur terre, c'est ici, c'est ici, c'est ici" reads a sign on the wall above the fireplace. I couldn't agree more! This review is long overdue! We splurged (a couple with a teenage daughter) and stayed here for one week in July 2012. The description "amazing view" is an understatement. I believe we were the very first family to rent this house after its renovation. Since we lived exclusively in the upper level during our week-long holiday, and not in the entire house, I can only comment on this level. The bathroom and kitchen were new. The floors were new and easy to keep clean. The kitchen was well-equipped, beds were comfortable, all-in-all a comfortable holiday home which has a cosy and home-like feeling since the owner stays here with family. Very authentic. A detailed information binder with recommended activities, restaurants and FAQs was provided. The infinity pool was where we spent many relaxing hours and it was cleaned regularly. We picked some lemons from the tree in the garden. It is high up with a gorgeous 180 degree+ view of the Mediterranean sea and the islands, you do need a car to get around. Although we did do the walk down the hill (a footpath) to the bakery and to the sea, and it was good exercise hiking back up! It didn't get too hot, always a pleasant breeze. Well, for a short while there was more than a breeze which caught us by surprise - don't forget to retract the umbrellas ;-)). The hostess of this house is incredibly nice. She gave us a wonderful bottle of Rosé which we enjoyed at home later that year while reminiscing about our wonderful week at the French Riviera!
Tip: Ideal for two small families with two separate units, but enough space in top unit to seat a large group.
