Stone-built, recently renovated Mas, with private pool

Just returned from a fantastic couple of weeks. The villa is exactly as described and an oasis of calm with every facility required for a memorable stay. The outside kitchen was a particular favourite and well used during our stay. Communication was superb and Blandine was incredibly helpful and informative. We actually got to meet the charming owners, Patrick and Narelle, before we left which was a lovely touch. We had a car for the duration , visiting the obvious coastal hot spots, but our favourites were the charming local towns of Valbonne and Biot, a short drive away. We actually used Ubers for nights out and they had no problem finding the villa, which was great. For the more adventurous, the 650 bus to Nice - linking with the coastal train line - runs on the main road 5 minutes walk away.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this very special villa! The villa is as perfect as the photos show and exactly as described, it has everything you can think of and much more. In a perfect location, slightly outside of the busyness, but close enough to everything to make it easy to get around and explore the South of France. The pool and the outside BBQ area was a particular highlight, but we also enjoyed lazy evenings on the first floor terrace. Thank you so much for making everything so easy, we had a wonderful week!!

As others have said the photos somehow don't do justice to this beautiful house, not because they're inaccurate but more that they fail to capture the warmth and feeling of it. The garden and pool are just great, so much space and choice of outdoor seating - I'm not sure we managed to try them all! Fabulous views from the terrace by the kitchen, I think I watched the sunrise every morning from the master bedroom! Because the house is also a home it is incredibly well provisioned, furnished and thoughtfully curated. Our 17 year old son is a cyclist and the area is perfect for those who love hills! Our daughter had a great week at the Morataglu tennis academy which is just 15 mins drive away. The coast is only 15-20 mins drive so it's easy to explore the beautiful beaches and towns. It's also well placed to visit the many stunning mountain villages, Biot and Valbonne were our favourites. Our holiday was made even better by Blandine who greeted us on our arrival (despite being so much later than planned), she was so friendly and welcoming and immediately sorted any questions, including finding cycling friends and booking a tennis court. She went above and beyond what is usually expected of a property manager. We'd love to return next year if we can!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave! Exceeded our expectations and it is difficult for pictures to sum up the beauty of this home, pool and garden. House is full of character, comfort and attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome treats much appreciated. We especially loved the top notch outside kitchen and terrace with wonderful views. It was hard to tear ourselves away to do some sight seeing! Best holiday home we have stayed in 😊 Great communication and welcome from Patrick, Narelle, Jo and Blandine. Thank you Blandine for your warm welcome/ introduction to house and being so responsive. Best wishes and many thanks!

The property is every bit as beautiful as the photos suggest. The garden and pool are idyllic and immaculately maintained. The house itself is delightful; so many personal touches make it a home from home. We had a fantastic time exploring the stunning towns along the coast and inland. We always looked forward to returning to the tranquility of the villa. Blandine was always available if we had any queries whatsoever. All in all, a wonderful family holiday at Stella Maris.

Wow, what a property. Besides its stunning appearance (the photos do NOT do this place justice, and we knew it would be luxurious, but wow - it's jaw-droppingly beautiful!) - there was absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need for your stay - we didn't need to buy anything other than food and drink! You'll find dishwasher tablets, toilet roll, tissues, shampoo conditioner, washing up liquid, BBQ grill cleaner, soap, every utensil you can imagine in the incredible outdoor kitchen (and the multiple other kitchens!), First Aid kit, multiple hairdryers, all the washing liquid/stain removers for clothes you can imagine...these things not only save you a few pennies, buy it just continues the theme that everything had been thought of for the guests. It was spotless throughout and so much thought had clearly gone into renovating and decorating this family home. We will probably come back next year, as we also discovered the gorgeous local village of Valbonne and a fabulous Bistro restaurant on the last night nearby - which we probably would have eaten at every night if we'd found it sooner! Overall one of the best holiday experiences I've had.
