We stayed a week in July in this fantastic villa. Beautiful surroundings, spectacular views and lovely pool and garden. Very nice rooms with en suite bathrooms. The hosts was very attentive and also gave excellent recommendations for shopping, restaurants and villages nearby. Everything was very clean and the house was equipped with everything you can wish for. We highly recommend a stay in this beautiful villa!
Amazing property in wonderful location. Perfect for a week’s holiday with adult children and partners. Combination of relaxation, outdoor activities and culture. Would recommend without a doubt!
The hosts Remy and Jacqueline were so accommodating - nothing too much trouble.
The property is superbly located with stunning views across the valley to Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Very old interesting house, but beautifully furnished, very clean and well equipped for a relaxing holiday with family and friends. Rémy and Jacqueline were on hand with advice and suggestions, to welcome us on arrival and to see us off when we left. We couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back.
A group of 8 friends who are Scottish rugby supporters stayed here for 9 days . It’s a charming much loved family home , with lots a different sitting areas for relaxing in and an amazing pool with incredible views .
Remy and Jacqueline were charming and friendly hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay !

We have just returned from a fabulous holiday at this wonderful property belonging to Remy and Jacqueline. Everything from start to finish was superb. The property itself has a fantastic location with incredible views to the beautiful Saint Paul De Vence. We feel very privileged to have stayed in such a historic house with so much history and gorgeous landscaped gardens. Remy and Jacqueline could not do anymore to make us welcome and help in any way. Absolutely wonderful ! We hope to return and would throughly recommend!

Thank you for your wonderful comments. We have been very glad to have all of you visiting our village and staying in our villa. You have been very respectful of everything and we have appreciated your presence. Come back whenever you want to.
A beautiful and calming atmosphere in a splendid house!
We've been renting summer houses for more than 20 years in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy and France, and this was the best place ever! The historic atmosphere of the house, the view, the nearby St. Paul and the surroundings - altogether made this a magnificent two weeks vacation. The house is well-furnished and equipped, everything works (doesn't always) - the pool, the kitchen, air-condition, barbecue...
In addition the hosts are discretely present when required, and Remy gave lots of insight both in the history of the house, the region and possible trips. We found it very valuable. Thanks a lot for a pleasant stay!
une superbe maison dans un coin fantastique; Le calme et la vue au petit déjeuner, le magnifique jardin fleuri et un accueil au top.Il n’y a rien à redire.
Das alte Bastide liegt am Ende einer sehr steilen Strasse und gibt einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die gegenüber liegende Altstadt von St. Paul de Vence frei. Wir haben die Aussicht jeden Morgen und Abend ganz besonders genossen.
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, die Zimmer ansprechend und gemütlich. Im Sommer hält man sich gerne auf der Terasse oder am sehr gut unterhaltenen Pool unter den Sonnenschirmen auf. Die beiden Vermieter wohnen im Nachbarhaus und sind ausgesprochen freundlich und jederzeit ansprechbar. Man möchte nicht nach Hause gehen und gerne wiederkommen.
Everything was perfect. A beautiful home from home for rest and relaxation as well as an ideal base for exploring the beautiful local area. Lovely owners who were available to help and at the same time, a discreet presence.
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying in Remy and Jacqueline’s beautiful house with its stunning view of the village of St Paul de Vence. The house itself is really well equipped and comfortable, with lovely bedrooms. We adored the blissful swimming pool which is a lovely temperature and has a nice shallow end perfect for our 3 children. Sitting by the pool listening to the bells of the church in St Paul de Vence was magical. We enjoyed many lazy breakfasts and dinners sitting up on the gorgeous terrace at the big communal table surrounded by flowers and olive trees. The local area is wonderful - we visited Antibes, St Jeannet, Tourettes and Vence, as well as having a truly memorable meal at La Colombe D’Or in St Paul de Vence. Remy was a fantastic host and we honestly couldn’t have had a better week.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The property is absolutely stunning and the views of Saint Paul de Vence are breathtaking. The property is very spacious and was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed beautiful sunny days around the pool and enjoyed relaxing in the evening in the various lounges and outside spaces. The hosts Remy and Jacqueline were incredibly helpful and were on hand should we have needed anything. I would definitely recommend this property!
Vieille maison en pierres tout confort, grande piscine, le tout entouré d’un jardin fleuri. Vue imprenable sur Saint Paul de Vence.
Les propriétaires Remy et Jacqueline sont très sympathiques et avaient réponse à toutes nos questions.
Séjour très réussi pour toute la famille, nous reviendrons volontiers

Danielle, Giovanni, merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires. Nous sommes très heureux de savoir que votre séjour a été très réussi. Nous vous accueillerons encore très volontiers. Cordialement Rémy et Jacqueline
Notre séjour en famille avec un bébé de 10 mois et un chien a été idéal! Tout était dans la maison pour nous accueillir confortablement, nous avons passé de très bons moments au bord de la piscine ou sur les différentes terrasses ombragées. Rémy et Jacqueline sont des hôtes merveilleux, discrets et attentifs à notre bien être!
L’accueil par Remy et Jacqueline était chaleureux et personnel, nous faisant nous sentir “chez nous” dès la première minute.
La maison est magnifique et authentique, avec des chambres et salles-de-bains ou de douche pour chacun (3 enfants et 2 parents).
Une vue inégalable et Saint-Paul-de-Vence, qu’on peut rejoindre en 5 minutes en voiture, est très charmant.
Vivement conseillé!

Très agréable famille, un plaisir de vous avoir connu. Nous espérons que vous reviendrez.
Merci pour votre appréciation. Nous avons été très heureux d’accueillir Tony, Stéphanie et leurs 3 enfants. Ils ont tous les 5 été remarquables de gentillesse et de discrétion. Lorsqu’ils sont partis la maison était toute bien rangée, les poubelles vidées, les draps et serviettes pliés. Cela a été un plaisir de vous avoir dans notre villa et nous espérons vous y revoir dès que possible.
We have just returned home after spending 3 weeks at this beautiful villa.
We had the most relaxing 3 weeks away at this beautiful Villa. It was very clean . The owners were lovely. The town of St Paul devence is a little gem of a place with lots of fantastic restaurants and bonus it was walkable. My only regret of the holiday was not waking up early enough to see the sun rising which I’ve been told is an amazing sight. We will certainly be returning.
Heel aangename ontvangst door de eigenaars in deze rustieke woning voorzien van alle nodige comfort. De ligging en het uitzicht zijn fantastisch. Je kan er van de rust genieten of uitstapjes maken naar zowel het strand als de bergen of naar Mediterrane steden en pittoreske dorpjes.. We hebben ervan genoten!
The photos don't do this house justice. We are a family of four with a labrador just returned from two weeks at Remy's house. It was simply epic. Relaxing, totally private, within each reach of the village, quick drives to Grasse, Mougin, Nice airport, Ile Sainte Margarite. The aircon (3/4 bedrooms) was a godsend given the heat. Remy is a fantastic host and a font of knowledge for local restaurants and trips. Strongly recommended.
This was a beautiful old house, which has been tastefully modernised . The air conditioning in particular was a godsend during the hot weather we had this summer. There’s a wonderful view from the terrace of the old town of St Paul de Vence, just across the valley. The hosts were friendly but did not intrude on our privacy. A great stay all round
