This cozy, nicely equipped apartment has wonderful views over the Mediterranean. The town of Saint-Jeannet was a delight (although the uphill drive was exciting). Daniel and Sylvia were helpful and responsive hosts.
We are two retired ladies who loved our visit to "The Cave" and the Cote d'Azur. Spending a few days in St. Jeannet was a fun way to experience life in a small mountain village. During the day we visited Antibes, Nice, Eze, Villefranche and Monaco. It was wonderful to return in the evening to this peaceful village with beautiful views.

wonderful and cozy
We had a wonderful time at this little 'cave'. This apartment is so beautiful and very cozy. We completely agree with the previous reviews: great apartment (dog friendly), great location and a very friendly renter (Daniel).
We enjoyed our stay in Saint Jeannet so much! Thank you very much Daniel!

We were finishing up a 2 week trip in France and we came across this vrbo listing which brought us to St Jeannet for a couple nights…and we’re so glad it did. One bus ride from Nice and we were looking at the most magnificent view. We loved our stay in this charming cave that met all of our needs. Communication was also very quick. Thank you!

Daniel et Sylvia sont des hôtes particulièrement sympathiques et accueillants et le gîte est conforme à la description avec une superbe vue .Nous recommandons vivement !
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der "Cave" sehr genossen. Die Wohnung und auch Saint-Jeannet sind der Inbegriff für ein französisches Bergdorf. Ein toller Bäcker ist gleich um die Ecke und der Blick ist wundervoll. Daniel und Sylvia waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wir kommen gerne wieder!
Nous avons adoré le charme de la déco, le carrelage, la vaisselle ancienne, le tout bien agencé et de très bon goût. Livres interessants a disposition, le logement est situé au coeur d'un village magnifique dans une region sublime et les propriétaires très sympathiques, a l'écoute.
Prachtig verblijf in authentieke woning Zeer mooi uitzicht en prachtig dorpjeEigenaars zijn super vriendelijk, behulpzaam en discreet gratis parking vlakbij Unieke locatie Heel typisch voor de streek Toppie
Me and my husband were here for three days with our daughter (3 years old) and we had a lovely time in the cosy, little house and town. Maybe not the most child friendly (small children - but we knew that) and still our daughter had a very good time and played around in front of the house. Next time we will probably go by car :) thank you a lot David and Sylvia for your kind communication and making us feel very welcome.
Sehr schöne gemütliche und liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung mit einer grandiosen Aussicht. Bäcker, Lebensmittelläden 2 Min. zu Fuß entfernt.
Sehr nette Gastgeber und Bewohner. Tolle Wandermöglichkeiten direkt vor der Türe. Zum Meer sind es ca. 45 Min. mit dem Auto. Wir haben Nizza und Monaco besucht und haben danach die Ruhe und Luft in St. Jeanet genossen.Tolle Umgebung um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Logement dont la décoration est privilégiée au détriment du confort rudimentaire. Idéal pour la saison estivale où la fraîcheur du bâtiment sera apprécié. Très bien situé dans ce beau village calme à 25 mn de la mer.

Bonjour
Pouvez-vous nous préciser ce que vous avez trouvé « rudimentaire « afin qu’on le corrige pour l’avenir
Merci à vous
Très bon emplacement, village très sympa et les gens sont très aimables, savent dire bonjour !
Les propriétaires du gîte sont extrêmement agréables en étant discrets.
J'ai tellement apprécié de séjourner dans l'appartement de Daniel et Sylvia que j'ai prolongé ma réservation pour un mois supplémentaire. Que ce soit pour une visite de quelques jours ou de plusieurs mois, cet endroit est un bijou. La beauté de l'endroit est exceptionnelle, ce village est un bonheur au quotidien et le confort et la sécurité du logement sont grands. Il est douillet, bien équipé et charmant. La famille vivant ailleurs la plupart du temps, le bruit de l'étage est peu fréquent. Vivre dans ce village est vraiment un privilège et séjourner dans cet appartement est une excellente façon d'expérimenter ses multiples plaisirs.
I have enjoyed so much staying in Daniel and Sylvia's apartment that I extended my reservation for another month. Whether you want to visit for a few days or several months, this place is a gem. The beauty of the location is exceptional, this village a joy every day and the comfort and safety of the accommodation is great. It is cozy, well-equipped and charming. With the family living elsewhere for most of the time, the noise from upstairs is infrequent. Living in this village is really a privilege and staying at this apartment is a great way to experience its multiple pleasures.
This place is a little gem in a gorgeous old French village that has everything you need for a rejuvenating vacation or a longer term stay. Sylvia is a fantastic artist with great taste that makes this apartment quaint. She and Daniel are excellent hosts - very responsive and super friendly making sure you will have what you need. The village itself is extraordinary - constructed centuries ago on a mountainside with narrow stone streets (there are parking lots where it is best to leave your car, particularly as you don't need it here), little shops to buy fresh food you can cook in the included kitchen and an excellent restaurant (La Table des Baoas). Saint Jeannet is a very special place to visit with fantastic days trips in every direction. And this apartment with its charm and phenomenal views is a great base for one person or a couple to enjoy it optimally.
The one and only potential downside is that if you visit during the summer months when there are tourists and more foot traffic, there is some noise as the windows are on a little square where people sometimes congregate and often pass.
Le gîte de Sylvia et Daniel Pilat est charmant, décoré avec goût, dans un village vivant et un environnement très pittoresque. Si on est sensible aux endroits qui ont du caractère, on ne peut qu’être sous l’emprise de St Jeannet et son baou. Et à la région environnante.
Sylvia et Daniel sont des hôtes bienveillants, réactifs et sympathiques.

Pierre et son épouse sont tellement sympathiques qu' on a l'impression d'accueillir des membres de la famille ...
ils ont bien rempli leur court séjour par des ballades autour de St jeannet mais vu leur soif de découvertes il va falloir revenir
ce sera un plaisir de les recevoir de nouveau
Tout a été, dans ce voyage, une chronologie parfaite, de notre arrivée (explications, conseils de randonnées, serviettes et oreillers en abondance) à notre départ, avec une visite de courtoisie chez les propriétaires, qui ont toujours été d'une réactivité et d'une bienveillance chaleureuses. La deco a mis en majeur cette ancienne cave restaurée. Le village est très joli, à quelques kilomètres de saint Paul de vence, et voisin de Nice.
Lieux magnifiques et les propriétaires sont géniaux.
Le village est magnifique et la vue est splendide 🤩🤩

We really don't even know where to start with our stay in beautiful stunning "Gods work of art" Saint-Jeanette, France!!! We have to say 1st and foremost that Daniel and Sylvia were 2 of the nicest people we have ever met in our lives..along with Sylvia's beautiful mother. "The Cave" as they call it is adorable and has everything you could need for a wonderful trip in the awesome hills above Nice .. which by the way is on the Mediterranean Sea BUT you can see from your windows in "The Cave" .. how awesome is that?? We could go on and on AND ON about our trip to Saint-Jeanett France to "The Cave" from Arizona USA FOR 2 MONTHS ..yes lucky us 2 months😎 .. but I'm going to stop and just say it will be a trip of your lifetime to get to stay here and get to enjoy this lifestyle and have Daniel and Sylvia as your hosts .. you will never find better!! We will be back!! We highly recommend for numerous reasons! .. be safe & stay well with the Corona19 virus in the world at the time I am writing this .. it is pretty bad, we got home to USA in the nick of time .. God bless you all ..THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME PLACE AND VRBO you get 10 👍's up ♥️ ♥️

Oh dear friends ...
what an amazing message
it was a great pleasure for us
we will be so happy to welcome you next year
Yours friends of st jeannet
Mit dieser Unterkunft und dem kleinem Vorplatz ist man mitten im Dorfgeschehen, wenn man sich raussetzt. Das kkeine Gemeindehaus nebenan bietet sogar Mitmachkurse an. St. Jeannet ist ruhig, Versorgung ist möglich und die Wandermöglichkeiten von dort sind wunderschön. Wir waren im Oktober dort. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett.
