Great family venue

As a family group of 12 we had a fantastic holiday , shops are a 10 minute walk for the baguettes, Grasse 15 minutes on public transport, we had a great driver (Olivier)but we also had a car which is needed to maximise this location . The family loved the pool, table tennis and plenty of areas to have your own space .

Idyllic perfection

We loved Villa Spencer…from the gorgeous building to the large grounds to explore…fantastic pool and tasteful decor. Nohra has thought of everything in this place with the little touches making all the difference Having a choice of outside spaces to eat was a treat & we loved having fresh figs from the trees in the morning! Views are spectacular from the terraces, and oh so peaceful We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you so much

Villa Spencer is Lovely

Great location. Beautiful property. The drive is not for the feint of heart, with lots of narrow back roads and tight switch-backs to navigate. Once there, it’s gorgeous with an incredible view. Our only issues: as Americans, it’s always surprising to learn that paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, soap/shampoo etc. must all be brought by the guest. We do realize this is customary in parts of Europe, but shopping for laundry detergent isn’t the ideal way to start a vacation. The only other gripe was again not the fault of the property owner, but with temperatures in the 90’s, and with a full house of guests, several bedrooms were miserably hot and doors and windows couldn’t be left open because of the insufferable mosquitos. That said, the kitchen, the outdoor table, the pool/deck, and that hammock! Bliss

An Idyllic Week in a Spectacular Villa

My family and some friends spent a week at the beautiful Villa Spencer in the South of France. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. The place is immaculate and the grounds and views are extraordinary. It is the best place we have ever rented--and we have rented many lovely homes. The place is more expansive than it looks in the photos and we were lucky to have wonderful weather all week which allowed for all of our meals to be enjoyed outdoors. I would recommend heating the pool...for some reason, the heat stopped about halfway through our visit after the pool guy came and it was less enjoyable without it. (The owner did send him back to address the issue when I notified her.) Communication and check-in were great. The property manager was delightful and even bothered to follow up when I inquired about how to get a doctor's appointment. The only thing I didn't love was the drive to the Villa which (although very scenic) involves a few hairpin turns, narrow roads, and a very steep hill to access. Lucky for us, we never wanted to leave the Villa anyway! I imagine I will come back again and again to this enchanting place and I am grateful that the owner shared it with us!

Heavenly villa in the hills of Le Bar-sur-Loup

What a spectacular stay! We all felt we were so fortunate to stay in such a beautiful place. A very well appointed villa that lived extremely comfortably. The gardens were gorgeous and the pool turned out to be a perfect escape from the warm afternoons. Lots of space for everyone with many activities on the property to keep us busy, entertained and very happy. The large kitchen was well stocked with spices and basics and lots of extras that made cooking easy. Our host's greeter Sara helped us out in a pinch and picked up several of our group as the Uber driver would not go down the steep narrow road to the villa. Thanks Sara! Le Bar-sur-Loup is a small town with several very good restaurants only a 10 min walk away. We took several trips through the hills on adventures and definitely preferred the D2210 as our favorite road - Google maps seemed to take us everywhere on roads that barely allowed for one car sometimes. For non EU visitors I would suggest you reach out to the host about the damage deposit to minimize any exchange rate costs once refunded if possible. Would definitely visit again. This truly was a heavenly villa.
