Come and enjoy bed and breakfast in our lovely typical French Provençal villa. We live in a beautiful rambling home just made for socialising or relaxing privately with your partner, family or a group of friends. As our five children have pretty much flown the nest, we have decided to use Airbnb as a great way to meet nice people and also generate some useful income.
***** WE HAVE 4 BEDROOMS AVAILABLE SO IF THE DATES YOU REQUIRE SEEM UNAVAILABLE THEN PLEASE ENQUIRE THROUGH MY OTHER LISTING FOR THE SAME PROPERTY. ALTERNATIVELY AMEND YOUR DATES TO MAKE CONTACT WITH US ******
The villa has seven bedrooms in total with large grounds of 8,000 square metres. We are in a totally peaceful haven of tranquillity yet still very well located for touring the region. We are surrounded by scores of pretty villages and squares, yet just a short drive to coastal favourites like Cannes, Nice and Antibes. We are also just a five minute drive from the beautiful perfume town of Grasse. Needless to say we are a great centre for wonderful walks and bike rides.
We are able to offer four bedrooms as bed & breakfast nightly rentals.
As long as we are home when you are there we will prepare you a generous continetal breakfast of coffee/tea, juice, croissants and nice local preserves.
Bedroom one: Master double bedroom with French doors leading onto the garden and a huge walk-in Italian stone wet room with a toilet, bath and open shower. This room is on the ground floor yet tucked privately and quietly away at one end of villa. There is Sky TV where channels are shared with the rest of the property.
Bedroom two: A lovely first floor round double bedroom in typical French style but with the added bonus of a lovely outdoor bathroom and views to the sea & mountains where you can relax on one of the sun-loungers or enjoy an outdoor bath or shower. There is also a loo and indoor shower-room opposite which is usually used exclusively for this room unless you have taken more than one room of course.
Bedroom three: A pretty little first floor bedroom with a double bed. This room is often used as a satellite to the round bedroom for children or larger parties. There is Sky TV where channels are shared with the rest of the property.
Bedroom Four: A pretty little bedroom with two single beds. This room is often used as a satellite to the round bedroom for children or larger parties and is on the first floor.
We also have a totally self-contained two bedroom apartment which is available from time to time.
We try not to mix parties on the first floor so you will have total privacy. The villa is nearly 300 square metres in size and generally there will be just two of us at home. On occasions I am away then you will have the entire property to yourselves. During these periods Breakfast will not be available so we will need to make a cost adjustment.
The villa has the most wonderful outside space with several terraces, including the one on the roof! There is also another large terrace leading from the lounge overlooking the swimming pool which you are of course quite welcome to use weather permitting. If you feel like cooking 'Al Fresco' then there is a great outdoor kitchen with a Weber BBQ, and a wood burning pizza oven. This is all set in a beautiful shady area where you can relax easily with family and friends. When you have had enough of the sun, this area has a dining table and 2 Moroccan stone sofas.
Inside there is obviously a high standard of tasteful furnishing and level of comfort, with lots of areas where you can simply relax after a hard day exploring our beautiful region.
There is fantastic hi-fi equipment, a huge plasma TV and Sky in a luxury TV Room and ADSL and Wi-Fi throughout
For you cooks out there we have a wonderful professional kitchen with 48' Wolf Cooking range with BBQ and Teppanyaki, Sub-Zero 600 Fridge/ freezer granite throughout and as Louise is a chef it is naturally very well equipped!
Chef facilities (by Louise) are occasionally available for that special celebration lunch or dinner and can often be cheaper than going out to eat. The other benefit of this is that you do not have to worry about babysitters or taxis and can enjoy fantastic wine at supermarket prices! Just ask for our CATERING WEBSITE. We also have a 16 year old daughter that is often available (with references) for babysitting.
It is conveniently located just a 5 minutes drive from the old French perfume town of Grasse which has the most wonderful history. The old town is extremely interesting with tiny streets that wind forever between the historic buildings, leading up and down ancient steps and passing through arched tunnels, sometimes opening out on to large squares. There is also near the magnificent cathedral of Grasse (with three Rubens!) and Fragonard which is one of the main perfumeries of Grasse - 'the perfume capital of the world'. You might have even read the book! You might want to even have a wander around the local produce market (not one of the biggest) in the Place des Herbes, and the daily flower market is held in Place aux Aires where there is also a large choice of Provençal restaurants. There is public underground car park.
The apartment is less than an hour away from the nearest ski resort - Gréolières and there are 3 more excellent ski-resorts, Val d'Allos, Isola 2000 and Auron just ninety minutes down the road. There are also some great excellent golf courses in and around Grasse. There are lots of hiking routes and paragliding is also a popular local sport up in Gourdon. Sail boats can be hired down in nearby Cannes and there are all the other popular water sports including water-skiing, windsurfing, parascending and stand-up paddle.
For children, there is the excellent Oceanographic museum at Monaco, the Florian sweet factory at Pont sur Loup, and Antibes Land which has a water park, aquarium and farm. There is also go-karting nearby and a glass-bottom boat goes out from Juan les Pins checking out the wrecks and sea-life in and around the exclusive Cap d'Antibes. Our kids also love the great climbing place down in Villeneuve Loubet.
