FLASH SALE JULY - contact owner. Magnificent Villa,Sleeps 8-10/Private Pool/AC

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Esterella. The house is well equipped, communication was excellent. The pool made our stay perfect. The summer kitchen with all of the plastic plates and glasses was perfect for our 5 grandchildren 2-8 years old. The villa has a great manager and Nadia, the housekeeper made us a fabulous welcome dinner and made us feel very at home upon our arrival.The house had room for all of us comfortably, the basement was perfect for my son and his family of 5. We certainly appreciated all the suggestions made by the owner and Mandelieu la Napoule is a very welcoming place with pizza and groceries close by. Thanks Gilly for a wonderful week our family will never forget!

We were excited to stay at Villa Estrella while in town for a wedding. I'll start with the positives:- Gilly was a good communicator and quick to get in touch- Check in was fairly straight-forward; we coordinated with the property manager via Whatsapp- The pool is beautiful and a good place to spend hot summer days- There is AC, but only in the bedroomsNegatives:- The house is shabby. The curtains appear musty, wall paper is pealing in places, the mattresses are sunken, the appliances are old.- We were surprised to find that the house wasn't particularly clean either. Every dish we went to use needed to be washed, there were wet towels in the dryer upon arrival, mold in the showers, and something was growing in the water kettle. - Communication with the house manager and housekeeper (a husband and wife duo) was less than ideal -- they wouldn't respond for at least a few hours, and it was unclear whether they communicated with each other (I would be fielding the same questions from both of them)- The hosts do not provide basic things like shampoo, bath soap etc., that has come to be expected in rentals Overall we managed to have a good stay despite these set backs. I'm not sure it was worth the money.

We had a delightful stay in Villa Estrella in the end of June/early July. The home is stately and maintains the magnificent character of its early days. It is decorated in a unique and beautiful manner as if someone carefully curated a collection of artifacts over a lifetime. The rooms are large and nearly all bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom giving each person extra privacy. The kitchen was very well equipped allowing us to cook many delicious meals during our stay. We also booked Nadia, one of the caretakers, who happens to be a professional chef, to prepare 2 dinners during our stay and they were phenomenal! Nothing quite like dining on a seafood paella on the beautiful stone porch. The grounds are a bit worn (shrubs a bit overgrown and garden pathways in need of a bit of repair) and as pretty as the pool was only one of our party of 6 adults ever swam because there were some mosquitos around the pool and outdoor kitchen, however, the rest of the house and the area kept us very comfortable and well entertained such that our 10days passed in the blink of an eye. Gilly, the host was fantastically responsive when we had questions and gave many excellent suggestions of things we should do/see in the area. I would certainly recommend the villa to future guests.

Gilly was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make everything as easy as possible for our wedding guests who were staying at Villa Estella. The villa is beautiful and so comfortable. We would highly recommend it.

Excellent hosts who share their comfortable, family-friendly villa with a mixture of old world architecture, shabby chic design and modern spacious ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. This is no museum to gawk at. It's for living and enjoying with elegance.

There were 7 of us and the villa was perfect. Each couple and the 1 single had their own bedroom and attached bath. The patio overlooks the water in the distance. It was great sitting out there in the evening watching the cruise ships.The villa is very well decorated and extremely comfortable. The house keeper Nadia cooked 2 outstanding meals for us including the night we arrived. It is an easy walk to the boulangerie in the morning for pastry and coffee. Also easy to get to the main highway A8 for trips further afield. The pictures on line are accurate. A beautiful place with a lovely garden and no negatives.

We could not have had a more perfect French holiday. The home was perfection . Our hosts went out of their way to ensure we were prepared and comfortable.

We stayed here with a large family group and it made the perfect refuge from the busyness of the Cote d'Azur in the middle of August. The location was convenient, very close to a big supermarket and the autoroute. It was a bit far to walk to the beach but an easy drive and easy to reach lots of other destinations from here too. The villa was very spacious and comfortable with lots of common space, en-suite bathrooms and a lovely big kitchen. We especially liked the summer kitchen down by the pool and enjoyed shady lunches under the gazebo. The terrace has an amazing view of the Bay of Cannes and is perfect for evening meals and drinks. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and the wonderful pool is great for relaxing around when you need a break from the beach. The owners were very helpful in the lead up to our stay, and we had Nadia the housekeeper cook us an excellent meal on our first night. Her cakes were especially spectacular!
