Olive Grove Apartment à La Bastide Saint Christophe, Grande Piscine Chauffée

We spent ten great days here. The Bastide has a wonderful location in a small medieval village that is centrally located for exploring the whole region. Our apartment was spacious, immaculate, well furnished, and offered an amazing view. Our hosts, who live on the property, were terrific and responsive; they even arranged for restaurant reservations when we arrived. Note: Pay attention to the hosts' directions for driving to the Bastide, as Google Maps takes you on a terrible route.

We were able to visit so many villages and museums that we had missed on previous trips and thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, clean, well equipped apartment that allowed for many memorable experiences due to its location. Communication was good before and during our stay. We would highly recommend a stay here.

A delightful place to stay. The accommodation was perfect for our needs. Two lovely sized bedrooms. Our teenager particularly enjoyed having his own on-suite! The kitchen was much larger than it appeared in the photograph. Most of our time at the property was spent sitting outside in the beautiful garden, which was really relaxing, especially after very hot days exploring numerous hilltop villages. We also enjoyed cooling off in the gorgeous pool. Thank you Milly for being such a welcoming host.

The Upper Garden Apartment is more like a home, very spacious, clean, quiet and beautifully decorated. It was perfect for two couples for 6 nights, with two bedrooms with en suite full bathrooms. The views from our balcony were spectacular. We visited in early May so we didn’t use the beautiful pool but some hardy guests did. We used the well-equipped kitchen a lot for breakfasts and dinners. Having owners Milly and Art available on-site was great, gracious hosts hosts who provided helpful info on the apartment, Le Bar sur Loup and the surrounding area. Some of the conveniences we appreciated were the diswasher, washing machine and drying rack, totally modern bathrooms, King sized bed in one room, two twins in the other. The entire place has been renovated but retains the provencal charm we were hoping for. And it seemed bigger than the photos here. A large Casino Supermarche is just a few miles away and there are excellent restaurants within walking distance of La Bastide. We walked to one, Hotel Particulier des Jasmins, for a wonderful dinner with a spectacular view. The roads are narrow and winding in this region so it helps to have a small car with GPS. One of the highlights of the area was a visit to the old walled city of Gourdon nearby. We also did day trips to Monaco, Cap d’Antibes and Cannes, all about an hour’s drive or less. The only improvement I would suggest is adding a couple of luggage stands to the smaller bedroom. Everything else was great and we highly recommend you book a stay at La Bastide Saint Christophe.

My wife, 2 grown children and I spent a week mid-July in the Olive Grove apartment at Bastide St Christophe. The apartment is very spacious with 2 good sized bedrooms, large living room, bathroom and kitchen. It really feels more like a small house since you have a garden with bbq and outdoor seating. The house is terraced into the mountain and the apartments have views across the moutnains. There is a provate terrace for the Olive Grove apartment that runs along the living room and bedroom with beautiful views to the mountains. It catches the sun from early afternoon through to sunset - around 8pm in the summer. There is a table and chairs on this terrace so you can eat there as well, though we tended to have dinner in the garden. The property has been cleverely sub-divided so you are not overlooked and feel private even though others are also renting in the same large building. The pool is excellent and a good size for swimming, also the pool area is well equipped - nice sun loungers, umbrellas. The property is very well equipped - the kitchen has everything you could need including coffee maker, wine cooler etc.We liked the fact that its less than 10 minute walk into the centre of the village so its possible to buy groceries and go to 3-4 restaurants without driving anywhere. Milly is extremely helpful and the property is professionally run..no hidden charges or extras. This area is also really nice - mountains, small villages, great views. easy access to Vance, Grasse, Valbonne etc and a 40 minute drive to good beaches at Theoule sur mer. Overall an excellent week and we were very happy with the choice of Bastide St Christophe - would recommend it without hesitiation.
