About this property
Lovely Old Stone Bastide With Private Pool, Short Drive To Beach
Set in garden full of old olive and specimen trees, this lovely old house is an easy stroll into the heart of historic Vence with all its treasures. It is a quick 6 mile drive to the beach at Cagnes, and Nice is only 20 mins away, both have lovely proms. Villa Paradou is set in a gated domaine and has full use of the communal pools, gardens and play areas, in addition to its own secluded 16m long pool. It has English Satellite TV + DVD and stereo equipment. The house is approached via an electronic gate into the domaine. It has a very large private parking area. The house is entered through a carved wooden front door which opens into an impressive hallway with its Italian chandelier. The kitchen and living room lead off from this: another hallway leads to the main bedroom and bathroom and the guest loo. The staircase twists away up to the first floor where there are 2 further charming bedrooms and a landing that leads through to the second bathroom and the 4th bedroom.

About the host
Hosted by David and Elisabeth Hulme
David, now retired, was in project management in the oil and gas industry designing and building refineries and gas plants all over the world. Elisabeth is a secondary school maths teacher having originally working in the oil and gas industry which is where we met. Elisabeth quit working in engineering in 1981to bring up our son who is now a solicitor in Oxford.
We live in Buckland Commom, one of the hilltops villages in the Chilterns. Elisabeth is a keen horse rider and keeps her horse in stables within 2 minutes walk from the house which we moved into 3 years ago after 33 years in our last house. Our son and his family live 10 minute away so we often get see them. They also love France and have had several holidays with us in Lou Paradou where our grandsons loves playing in the pool.

Why they chose this property
We bought our first property in Vence in January 2001. This was a 600 year house in the centre of the old town (Cite Historique) which was on 6 floors! It was wonderful living the old town but we wanted a house with a garden and swimming pool. The most important feature however was that it had to be in easy walking distance (5 to 10 minutes) of the old town which we love. In 2004 we found the ideal property which met all our criteria and we moved into Lou Paradou in August 2005.
Vence is a beautiful Provencal town with bars, bistros and restaurants weekly markets and festivals.
We also love this area because you are in close proximity to the sea. Monaco, Nice and Cannes are all an easy drive away and you can drive to Cagnes sur Mer (our closest beach) in 15 minutes.
