About this villa rental
Our villa is an ideal retreat for families, friends and couples. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR LONGTERM RENTAL. It is in a quiet neighborhood with expansive views of the sea and mountains and wonderful hikes from our doorstep. Designed by a student of Le Corbusier, this villa combines Provencal charm (stuccoed walls and tile roofs) with an open modern plan, all arranged on a few levels with a full pool and spectacular view of the Mediterranean You can see a panorama extending from The hills of Monte Carlo to the Croisette of Cannes, all while lounging by the pool beside fruit and olive trees, sipping on the local Vin du Var.
We have recently redone the grounds (doubling the usable space) added beautiful terraced lawns, replaced all kitchen appliances and added high speed Fiber optic WiFi internet and TV.
We accept weeklong stays and longer, and provide discounts for longer term rentals, up to one year.
We are in a nature district, so great hikes up mountain streams or along the foothills of the Maritime Alpes are nearby. Vence, a charming hill town is 5 minutes away, filled with delicious boulangeries, boucheries, fromageries and boutiques. St. Paul de Vence, with its famous galleries, museum and boule court, is 10 minutes away. Haute cuisine restaurants, including the renowned Chateau St. Martin, from modest to extravagant, are peppered throughout the neighborhood, and both Nice and Cannes, with their famous promenades, hotels, museums, beaches and shopping are 20-30 minute drives.
This is our family home, which my parents purchased after traveling to the Cote d'Azur for thirty years and searching for the perfect perch above the sea. It possesses charms for young and old, loungers and sightseers, athletes and intellectuals, connoisseurs and folks who just want to chill. It is not luxurious, but it is comfortable, serene and tasteful. It is the most relaxing place I know.
The Côte d'Azur is featured in a recent NY Times essay on great winter destinations: The French Riviera in Winter: Sparkle Without the Glitter (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/travel/france-riviera-winter-travel.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share)

Many thanks. We had a wonderful time. Superb views. Probably the best of Cote d' Azur. Very accommodating and friendly property manager too.

A wonderful holiday home with the most amazing panoramic views. It was so beautiful and peaceful we came home from our holiday feeling relaxed, refreshed and re-energized. We loved the house, it was quirky, unusual and provided a wonderful sense of space. The house could perhaps benefit from a little TLC - it felt a little tired and dated particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. But Boris was very responsive and fixed any issues whilst on our holiday. Overall, we absolutely loved it and hope to return.

Very nice house and views to the Riviera and mountains
Quiet neighborhood and, but only a short drive from Vence, shops and restaurants and also the Riviera.

I have had to shorten this due to character limit. Full review can be emailed.
-No hot water for 3-4 days- not acceptable to shower outside with parents on 70’s and 2 kids.
-Poor communication while waiting to resolve hot water issues.
-Blocked kitten sink/drain for last 2 days.
-2 bathroom sinks require repair- I don’t expect to find raw plugs wedged in them to keep them operational.
-Dirty kitchen upon arrival that needed us to clean and wash a number of units and utensils. We did not clean on top of the cupboards or the light fitting which were thick with grease and dust.
-Towards the end of our stay the drainage from the dishwasher to the sink became blocked and for the last three days we had to empty the water in the two sinks by hand into one of the toilets. We could not empty it into the drain by the back door because that too was blocked.
-2 broken pool umbrellas for the first 4-5 days of the stay (one was then replaced).
Undoubtedly the position of the villa, the pool and gardens are spectacular, but this did not make up for the discomfort and inconvenience we experienced which do not align to what we paid for the stay. I await your comments/suggested resolution.
