Charming villa with a pool, 12-minute walk to the ocean

Very nice holiday home, and the host's hospitality was far beyond what one would expect. Recommended!

The villa is beautiful, well presented, clean and well equipped. We stayed as a family of 6 adults and 3 children and there was easily enough space for us all. The children loved the toys and especially the pool and inflatables. Philippe was the perfect hosts and gave us suggestions for places to eat and places to visit. A folder is left in the villa with lots of useful information. The villa is in a perfect position to visit Nice, Antibes and Monaco which we visited by train, the Cros de Cagnes station being within 15 minutes walking distance. There are 2 amazing boulangeries as well as a large supermarket 5 minutes walk from the villa.We would definitely recommend renting Philippes beautiful villa.

Philippe is an amazing host and the property is as described and meticulously maintained. There was plenty of room for 8 adults giving us common areas as well as separate bedrooms to retreat to for quiet time. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and openly shares this information with you upon arrival. We could not get over how extremely quiet the villa was even though it is located so close to a grocer, restaurants, etc. We highly recommend this property!

We had a wonderful stay with the family (6 persons). Philippe is a great host and gave plenty of tips. The house is very complete and the location is convenient for visiting the Côte d’Azur as well as to go to the beach or take a stroll on the boulevard of Cagnes sur mer. The pool is great to cool down before or after visiting a neighbouring city. I do highly recommend this house.

Lovely house close to the coast and also a great base for cycling in the hills around Nice. Very friendly and helpful host.

Phillipe is attentive and accommodating offering warmth and great tips. Our family had a wonderful stay in this fantastic property. Our only regret is not staying longer!

This was a beautifully maintained villa in a quaint lovely neighborhood. Our host Philippe was absolutely a wonderful host. The set up of the house bathrooms were a bit unique, but our family of five adjusted well. The Villa was conveniently located in walking distance of several bakeries, grocery stores, shops and restaurants in walking distance. We were easily able to take tours to Monaco, Monte Carlo, Saint Tropez, Cannes, and a charming train ride into Italy’s Ventimiglia..all from this Villa! Hopefully we will have a chance to visit Nice, France again..and we will look forward to staying at this villa again. Happy Travels!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay with 2 families, especially the large space in the kitchen and living room and outside area with garden lounge and pool. Most kitchen utensils and accessoires were available and the fridge was big enough to store all our food incl. freezer. An Intermarche is a short drive away, so is the city center, gas station, boulangerie etc. The airport and Nice are 15mins drive away and there's parking space for 2 cars. We couldn't stay outside much because there are many mosquitoes. The bedrooms all have AC and the 2 master bedrooms downstairs have access to the terrace. Towels for both personal use and beach towels were provided. Plenty of space for storage and hanging clothes. One thing we didn't like was the room set up, as it made it difficult for us to split up - one bedroom is right in front of one modern bathroom, which people from the other bedroom have to pass to use the bathroom. The other master bedroom has a bathroom without any doors / curtains, which has to be shared with 2 people from the backside bedroom. This shared bathroom does not have a toilet, which is a tiny chamber in the floor across the backside bedroom. Upstairs, there is a small bedroom, which gets hot during the day, which our elderly aunt and uncle stayed in - it is connected to a large bathroom with bath tub and laundry machine. The bedsheets smell funky (like they've been stored in a cupboard for some time) and are super thin, not the best sleeping experience we've had.

Cagnes Sur Mer is a delightful town with a medieval center, a modern downtown, and a beach boardwalk community, between the busier centers of Nice and Antibes. Philippe's home is just a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, train station, 5 minutes to a full service supermarket and bakeries, yet in a quiet dead end street perfect for a family gathering. The house itself was perfect, with a great kitchen complete with every needed item for cooking and enjoying the property. Outdoors there are numerous comfortable seating areas perfect for finding shade at any time of the day, as well as awnings and tented areas for dining. The pool was perfect for cooling off and playing anytime. It was unseasonably hot in June but the air condition kept us comfortable day and night. Everything was as pictured and we could have stayed all summer. Only minor issue was the difficulty finding taxis or ride shares - It was difficult to get a taxi or ride share and several canceled on us abruptly making it a challenge to get around reliably with our luggage however with perseverance we all got the transportation we needed. This is only an issue for airport transfers as the location is perfect for all other tourist activities. Cagnes Sur Mer itself is charming and well worth the time exploring off the beaten track of the French Riviera which can be somewhat overwhelming and overrun. Access to the train station was quite easy with a short walk down the hill and along to a small train stop that was 10 to 15 minutes away from the larger towns along the French Riviera. Philippe was very prompt and accommodating, responding to questions and recommendations for area restaurants and sites. He even came by to clean up the pool and sweep the outdoors to keep it looking beautiful for the course of our stay.

The property is as described on the web site. It is in a quiet location but shops, restaurants and public transport are all within walking distance. There were 6 adults and 2 children we only hired one car, and in fact the 4 that travelled by public transport from the airport arrived at the property before the 4 in the car. Philippe the owner was there to welcome us and show us around, also suggested places to visit, including Antibes, which we visited and was very nice and to be recommended. In fact the train is an ideal way to travel up and down the coast as the service is very regular, therfore a car is not necessary unless you want to explore inland. All in all it was a very enjoyable ho;iday.
