French Riviera, charming and romantic villa southfacing with a scenery view

Wonderful property - exactly as described. Host was very easy to contact for whatever we needed. House is very well equipped and appointed.

The villa was very comfortable and had all the amenities you could ask for. The pool was clean and very welcoming. We would definitely return, and highly recommend, should we holiday in the area again. Thank you

The house was spacious and well equipped. Bedrooms are well appointed and a cosy lounge area for watching TV on cooler evenings. The gardens and pool area are peaceful and have sun beds, chairs and umbrellas. Plenty of space to sit and relax in sun and shade. The heated swimming pool was an asset as temperatures in mid-September started to drop a little. Stefan, the house manager, is very helpful. Just a couple of things to be aware of anyone with any mobility issues, there are no handrails down the steps to the pool level and none into the swimming pool. Otherwise the house is lovely and would recommend for a peaceful holiday.

The apartment, the garden, the pool and the bedrooms were perfect. In a certain way the pictures on the website “undersell” the property: in reality it (mainly the garden) is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. Stephane (the house manager) is a very kind, positive and helpful person. The owner is very responsive to any queries you may have. Great stay! (Two families with 4 kids between 6-10 y/o)

We had a fantastique time at Christa's little paradise. The location is very spacious and offers comfortably space for 8 people. Plenty of beds, bath rooms, very well equipped kitchen and large surroundings with terrace, pool, place to play petanque etc. It is very quiet around it and max 35-40 minutes to the beaches of Juan-Les-Pins or Antibes. Very nearby one can go see the pretty villages of Vallbonne, Saint Paul de Vence, Vence and Gourdon. We loved it ! And the communication with the local facility manager Stephane and the owner Christa was very friendly and very enjoyable. Thanks for having us there ! Roger & Family with friends

Spacious and comfortable villa with excellent heated pool...the children loved it. Not the easiest to get to...sat nav essential. The owners were very quick to respond to any query. The village of Le Rouret is approx. a 1.5km walk, uphill coming back so not really achievable with young children. Overall we had a wonderful stay at the villa with trips to Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat, Valbonne and Grasse.

The villa is secluded but not isolated, stylish, without ostentation, well appointed and equipped, with an excellent pool and many outside seating areas. What's not to like?

PROS: lovely grounds, great pool, good location for day trips, responsive house manager, reliable Wi-Fi, well-equipped kitchen CONS: 1. Lack of cleanliness (dirty toilets, greasy stovetop, oven and fan, dirty windows, dusty surfaces). We were charged fees of 250€ upfront for house cleaning, but the villa was not sanitary. We advised the house manager upon arrival and he had another cleaner come in. It was better than when we arrived, but the the house needs a deep clean. 2. The washing machine did not work half the time we were there. The house manager came twice and finally fixed the problem. 3. We were unable to use one of the bedrooms due to a strong, unpleasant sewer smell permeating from the basement. This room is located close to the kitchen. Also, the shower facet in this room was not working properly and only gave hot water so we could not use the shower either. 4. The villa is difficult to find (even with GPS). The road leading to the house is winding and can be dangerous as it is narrow and steep. Much caution is advised! 5. The villa is located in a seedy neighbourhood. The next door neighbour's property looks like a scrap yard. The road is laden with debris. It is unfortunate that this site does not allow me to post photos to confirm the above. I would be happy to provide. In the end, thank goodness the property manager, Stephan, was kind, responsive and had initiative.
