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

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.

Absolutely loved this villa. Extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated. Kitchen superbly equipped. Barbecue area excellent. Spent our days lounging around the crystal clear pool. Scenery surrounding the property is beautiful. There a couple of restaurants approx 30 mins walking distance, but for wider dining options a short car journey will take you to other towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Haus! Wir waren 9 Personen (8 Erwachsene + 1 Baby) und das Haus war optimal für uns. Es war sehr sauber und die Raumaufteilung war für uns perfekt. Jeder hatte seine Privatsphäre und tolle Bäder. Dazu gibt es sogar noch ein GästeWC. Für das Baby wurde uns vor Ort ein Babybett und Hochstuhl bereit gestellt. Überhaupt ist das Haus super ausgestattet. Am allermeisten begeistert hat uns die Küche: sie ist sehr groß, sauber und perfekt ausgestattet! Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und wir konnten sehr gut zusammen kochen. Zu erwähnen ist auch der tolle Aussenbereich. Eine riesige Terrasse mit allem was man braucht (großer Esstisch, Grill, Lounge und genügend Sonnenschirme). Dazu dann die vielen Pflanzen und natürlich der gepflegte Pool mit Außendusche. Für den Pool wurden uns auch hochwertige, große Poolhandtücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir sind sehr begeistert von dem Haus. Der Kontakt mit dem Hausmanager war sehr gut und wir wurden sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen. (Sogar mit einer Flasche Wein- danke dafür!) Wir können das Haus zu 100 Prozent weiterempfehlen. :-)

Wow! Stunning property, everything you need for a fantastic relaxing holiday. The accommodation is well set out with the bedrooms all in their own spot allowing lots of privacy. Superb equipped kitchen. Amazing pool and lounging areas with stunning gardens surrounding the property itself. We were blown away.

Beautiful villa with a wonderful view and garden. Delicious swimming pool. Surrounding is very quiet. Also the interior of the house is great and everything is present We can really recommend this villa
