RARE PROVENCAL HOUSE between NICE and VILLEFRANCHE garden swimming pool beaches

The property is a very authentic French house, some quirky things and the owners have renovated it to a great standard. The gardens are really pretty and very secluded, the views from each area are lovely. All the bedrooms are really nice and very authentic, the kitchen is very rustic too.

The property managers are really nice and kind. For the House I can say that its really pretty. It is an authentic little french House.

Beautiful house, well furnished and very comfy. Kitchen well supplied with everything we could possible need. Lovely grounds with a small pool which my granddaughters thoroughly enjoyed. We also enjoyed the games room. There was a shopping centre in La Trinite but we found the little market just a few yards up from the house very useful for fresh fruit and veg etc. The house was well placed for everything we wished to see, including Sanremo, Monaco, Eze and Falicon, as well as some amazing beaches. Slight downside was there was no WiFi which could possibly put some people off. Also a DVD player would be useful, particularly for playing children’s and/or family films in the evening. However, we really loved our stay in this beautiful house, thank you Fabienne.

The house is a beautiful,typical, old French house. The gardens were beautiful and tranquil. The pool was a nice addition as was the games room. However, beware of the road leading to the house - it is very twisty and narrow and takes nerves of steel to drive it each day! And a car is necessary as it’s a little off the beaten track. Also, don’t arrive too late on a Sunday evening as it is very difficult to find a shop that’s open so it would have been nice to have had a little welcome pack of coffee, bread, cheese, juice or something similar. Overall it was a very nice house.

There are lots of positives about this home. We loved the location -- close to Nice, Cap Ferrat, and Èze. It is in a very quiet, private setting, yet not far from the motorway. I enjoyed a dip in the pool at the end of a day of sightseeing (but not my wife -- still a little too cool!) There is an Auchan supermarket close by, and a very handy little fruit, vegetable, and egg stand right at the turn off to the house. The owners are very nice and helpful, and quick to respond both to the booking inquiry and to questions I had prior to our arrival. It is obvious that they have showered lots of love and care on the house and grounds. But there are a couple of negatives. First, the Homeaway page says that there is internet, but there is not. This was a surprise, but not too big a handicap, since next to Auchan is a Flunch café with free wifi. We went there for a little bit most afternoons, for a coffee or gelato. Still, I hope the owner will remove that item from the description. The other issue is harder to fix. The house, in particular the ground floor, has a residual wood smoke smell from the fires that were previously used for heating and cooking. For many people that might be pleasant, but for me, it set off a not-so-fun time of asthma and sinus problems. I don't want to make a big deal of it, because for most people it is not a problem. But if you have fragrance sensitivities, it is worth knowing.
