The listing for this wonderful property--cherised and well maintained by owners Cathy et Alain--is very accurate, but doesn't even give justice to the villa. The rental part of this home (an original villa built in 1956) is the entire ground floor. The space is immaculately clean, fresh, updated, sun-filled and very spacious. We are a small family of 3pp and we were so comfortable here. You have a very nice kitchen with every cooking/serving need + upscale/updated appliances. You have a full bathroom with shower/toilet/vanity in the primary bedroom. You have a second bedroom with a shower/vanity room and a separate half-bathroom (toilet/vanity) down the hall. You have a lovely dining room and sitting/room/living room for common space. Finally, you have the fabulous covered patio with lounge chairs, dining set and a gorgeous pool set amid an established and stunning yard. Our 7-yr old daughter was so happy and comfortable being/playing outside amidst the fruit trees, the little koi pond with frogs, the seesaw and in the pool. We could watch her while sipping coffee or wine at the table and join her to explore the garden and enjoy the numerous birds that visited.
One must also note the amazing neighborhood where this home is located: chic, quiet and well located doesn't begin to describe this slice of heaven on Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat. It is very safe and enjoyable to walk around and enjoy the community park, the sculpture and to descend/ascend the steep steps into the port area and main village (for shopping, provisions, restaurants and entertainment). We loved "coming home" after a full day of exploration around Cap Ferrat and to neighborhing villages of Eze, Beaulieu, VilleFranche and Nice.
We cannot say enough superlatives about our hosts. They are kind, discreet, gracious and helpful. They stock you generously in the kitchen and with a few bath amenities to get started. My only suggestion for them would be to upgrade or boost the WiFi. My husband struggled with working in the mornings before we ventured out daily.
Of note - we stayed over our late April break and it was still a bit chilly/rainy along the Riviera. The positives were that we had beach clubs/restaurants to ourselves at times and we didn't need to plan ahead. The 'negatives' are that you really cannot swim. It's more of a walk around and play time of year; not a beach week.
Je vous remercie, Alain et Cathy, pour un sejour superb sur le Cote d'Azur en avril. A bientot! Shari
