Eccellente<br>#128578; La casa è molto grande ed è dotata veramente di tutti i confort che i proprietari mettono a disposizione dei propri ospiti. Non manca nulla per sentirsi come a casa propria e la posizione è molto tranquilla.<br>#128577; Con un po’ di ammodernamento la struttura diventerebbe perfetta

The owner was friendly, very pleasant and helpful. She welcomed us on arrival and was available throughout our stay, giving helpful suggestions on local events and places to visit. On arrival, the standard of cleaning was not up to our expectations and we spent the first few hours cleaning. The host did admit that she had rushed the cleaning as we had arrived in the town (not at the house) early. However, it should have been much better and all areas should have been cleaned and checked before we moved in. The decor and furnishings were quite tired. The Wi-Fi worked well in the main part of the house. Air conditioning was available in the two (main) upstairs bedrooms; an air conditioning unit and a fan were available in two of the other three bedrooms. These downstairs bedrooms were damp and needed the dehumidifier (which was in one of the bedrooms) to be on all the time. The house is very large and the grounds equally spacious and well maintained. It is great for families and entertaining. The swimming pool was regularly cleaned and well used by our family. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the beds were comfortable. It was obvious from the personal belongings in all areas of the house, including many wardrobes, that this was the owner's house. There was plenty of hot water. Only one shower was a proper, stand in shower; for two you had to hold the shower hose and the shower head on the fourth was too low for those taller than 155cm. The property is located in a quiet, exclusive residential area, a 10 minute drive or a 20 minute walk from the centre of Vence, a 30 minute drive from the centre of Nice/airport and within an hour of Monaco. Therefore, ideal for those who wish to stay at the property or visit the local attractions. We had a great family holiday, but unfortunately, the standard of cleaning will always mar our memories.

The ambience and the location of the property is wonderful. The area around Vence is beautiful and has easy access to other historic towns in the area which are all quite special, I particularly enjoyed Valbonne. The choice of restaurants and quality of food in the area is excellent. The city of Nice has many different attractions - the flower market being a highlight of my trip. I felt I could go back and explore the area as it has so much to offer.

This is truly a hidden gem. Tucked away in the medieval village of Vence, within close distance to the village (about 1.5 miles) and yet far enough for privacy, this villa can transform in whatever you want it to be. I had the pleasure of experiencing dinner parties, Sunday Brunch, music, dancing, singing, cooking lessons, hiking in the beautiful forest near by, as well as curling up and relaxing next to the fireplace with a nice glass of wine. I love the convenience of the location, as the villa is only 20min from Nice and the stunning beaches of the French Riviera, the Nice airport, maybe 7min from the famous St. Paul de Vence with it's eclectic art galleries, another 30min from Cannes, Monaco and 45min from the Italian border. It's in a perfect location that mixes the old world with the new. The medieval village with a state of the art, lifestyle shopping center just 10min away that has restaurants, movie theater, casino and all the stores you could want. As beautiful and comfortable as the villa is, what separates this villa from any other property is the hospitality, warmth and graciousness of its amazing host, Asa! Couldn't have experienced a lovelier time and will definitely be back. Warmest Regards, Denice R.

This was truly a great place. The hosts were so welcoming and very kind and the villa was absolutely beautiful. It was so nice that I have actually booked to go again. I really do recommend staying here, as you will have a great time and peaceful stay.

Last summer we rented the villa with another family, and had the most wonderful relaxing 2 week holiday. The villa is large light and spacious with several terraces, we could all enjoy quiet reading time or sunbathing. My favourite was the hammock in the garden under a huge shady tree. The villa is well equipped my husband loved cooking on the huge open plan kitchen it really was home form home! All the beds was king size with high quality linen and lots of lovely pillows. Vence is a superb town with lovely restaurants and really buzzy, great for the grand children to run around in the old town with no cars to worry about. Walking distance from town was a pleasant 20 minuets walk through the country side As the owner also runs the villa as a B&B off season we returned this year on our own in April. weather was a bit chilly but lovely to returned to a place with fireplace lit to a candle lit, home cooked dinner in the evenings. Highly recommended, we will be back to Villa Phoebe!!! Anne Aldenstam

I enjoyed a fantastic 4 days with my 3 friends. The property is exactly what we were looking for and our hostess was extremely helpful and charming. We chose to eat dinner at the Villa on several occasions as the food was so great! A terrific home from home but with the advantage of being set in stunning French countryside. We enjoyed long walks, sun-bathing around the pool or down on the Cote d'Azure and leisurely drives. All in all it was a delight
