Lower Garden Apartment à La Bastide Saint Christophe, Grande Piscine Chauffée

The Lower Garden apartment was great in terms of comfort. Great view from the two balconies. The only downside is the steep driveway, which I was afraid to take the car down or up, so we walked up and down, and it was strenuous for two seniors. We needed to use walking sticks.

Fabulous home away from home. All you need is in the appt, the hosts were welcoming, friendly and easily contactable. There’s a great deal of outdoor activities to do in and around Bar-sur-Loup - hiking, karting, canyoning and more. Food options within 30 min drive are excellent and cooking for ourselves was easy too as the appt was fully stocked with crockery, cutlery and utensils. Multiple decks to catch the sun were a bonus with a glass of wine and nibbles. Would love to come back and stay longer!

We loved this property! It was the perfect resting place after spending several days in Keysersberg and yet a fabulous launching place for day trips to Nice and Gourdon. Milly and Art were the perfect hosts. Our accommodations were comfortable and super clean. Sitting by the pool on a spring day was relaxing. We had received several restaurant suggestions from them and they were delicious. We are thankful they shared their lovely home with us.

We spent 6 nights in the Lower Garden apartment, perfect for two couples. Well provisioned, clean, charming, and conveniently located for exploring all the neighboring hill towns. But always a treat to come back at the end of a day to the pool for a swim and relaxation. Highly recommend. Anne

The apartment had everything you needed, the facilities were great and convenient. Spectacular views from the deck and lots of interesting villages within a short drive. The village and location is quiet, but with enough good restaurants within a short walk to satisfy most tastes,would stay with Milly again with no hesitation. thanks for a relaxing holiday.

We rented the lower garden apartment during the 1st week of September. It's a perfect base for a week exploring. We went to Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Theoule-sur-mer, and Gourdon. The last 3 being our favourites. The town of Le Bar-sur-loup is just a perfect sleepy French village with loads of fab Restaurants. Really Hilly and you feel like you've earned your puddings! The apartment itself was everything it needed to be. Clean and very well appointed. Lovely pool, boules pitch, for those rare spare moments. Millie, the host was very accommodating and welcoming. Would definately reccomend Jo and Tim

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautiful and peaceful vacation home in the South of France! The owners, Milly and Art, are gracious hosts and provided us so many tips about places to visit, restaurants to eat at, and things to do for our family in the area. They were so helpful and great communicators and truly made our stay incredible. The lower garden apartment is absolutely wonderful! It's huge, comfortable, has a great balcony with an amazing view, and is very well appointed! The beds were quite comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, and there were many helpful "extras" like beach mats and umbrella and shopping bags that were appreciated! We were surrounded by olive and fruit trees, and the awesome pool was a minute or two walk from the apartment. We loved the sweet hillside town of Le Bar-Sur-Loup, we could easily walk to get bread in the morning and to a couple of lovely restaurants. It felt like you were "living" in France as there were few tourists. It was well located for exploring amazing nearby ancient towns (Gourdon, Tourettes Sur Loup), larger Grasse, and the beach wasn't too far for a day trip. Our only regret was not staying longer, we're ready to return for at least a week! Thank you for an excellent stay in the Souh of France, Art and Milly, it was unforgettable!

We stayed in the lower garden apartment for 6 weeks and would highly recommend it. Finding the apartment was really simple. It’s on a quiet lane, but only a few hundred meters from the shops and the village of Le Bar Sur Loup. There’s a separate drive to this apartment with generous parking (I always worry about where I going to leave my car). It actually feels more like you’re staying in a separate house than an apartment. I can’t fault the description of the apartment and it was spotlessly clean. The apartment is well equipped with good quality fittings and furniture and clearly well maintained - I don’t think I lacked anything whilst I was there. It’s also very comfortable with a real homely (but French) feel. I’ve rented a few places before where everything is cheap and falls apart when you touch it or so expensive looking you don’t dare to touch anything – this isn’t the case here. You can make yourself at home and enjoy your holiday. There are nice views from the balcony across the valley and into the Gorges de Loup (which is breath taking) and overlooking the garden and the pool. It was too cold for me to swim in March when we arrived, but that didn’t put my two sons off! The apartment is close to the village of Le Bar Sur Loup which is a really pretty hill top village with a variety of restaurants and smaller shops. Supermarkets are a few minutes drive away and it’s close to interesting towns like Grasse, Cannes, Antibes, Valbonne, Biot and of the city if Nice. I personally like the countryside and mountains which are right on the doorstep. The whole area is teaming with things to do for any age from sightseeing and beaches to rafting and skiing. There are regular buses that look like they provide a good service, but I think to enjoy the whole area you need to bring your car or hire one. The owners were very friendly (although not invasive) and truly were multilingual. Overall a great stay, in a great apartment, in a great location and I am going to book to come back.
