Many of us have arrived at a vacation rental home sight-unseen before, and felt very hesitant but hopeful. From the very first moment when when we arrived to when my wife and two children were met by Liz and Quentin at the property gates, we knew this would be a special vacation. First of all, the region just north of Nice, where the property is located, is simply wonderful. We arrived in the early spring. And the gentle, cool breeze combined with the bright sunshine and the enchanting smell of blooming flowers we'll never forget. Noā¦I'm not exaggerating. It was the perfect getaway for our family. The owners welcomed us with open arms, and toured us throughout the property like we were relatives. The wraparound balcony is the perfect setting for any meal, morning or eveningā¦and the view is absolutely spectacular. The layout of the apartment is perfect if you have children. There are two separate bedrooms, one clearly designed for the children and one for the adults. The rooms were all very clean and the bathroom was equipped with Ralph Lauren towels and wash clothes. The kitchen was surprisingly roomy, and had every imaginable utensil, opener, pot, pan, dish and device for cooking gourmet meals. The Internet connection was very fast and reliable. The bakery, butcher, and markets were within walking distance of the property (about 1km)ā¦and there was only light traffic along the route. The local villagers treated us with a bit of novel respect (we're American), but overall they were very welcoming and made us feel at home. I would suggest learning at least a little bit of French before you go. We will definitely brush up on our French before we visit next time. The locals respect you a bit more. :-) During the evenings, and after a long day of touring the area--where we visited Monaco: to include the several beaches of the area, the nearby French Alps, and locations where the film "To Catch a Thief" were shot by Alfred Hitchcock (just up the road from the property)--our kids wandered around the property and made friends with the cats, played in the swimming pool and picked lemons off of the lemon trees located only 3 or 4 meters from the front door. Yesā¦you guessed itā¦we had a wonderful time. We cannot thank the property owners enough for their wonderful and selfless hospitality. We cannot wait to get backā¦and do it all over again. We loved it hereā¦and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to relax, reflect and rejuvinate.
