Guestbook
The apartment is quiet, comfortable and equipped to a very high standard (inc. air conditioning); we especially appreciated the washing and ironing facilities as we were moving on elsewhere. The building is very pleasing and the excellent security car parking, although we never felt the least bit threatened or uncomfortable at any time. The nearby selection of shops and restaurants was very convenient.
A great feature was the ease of access to public transport with bus stops literally outside the door. Regular and cheap buses run to Antibes centre, Cannes, Nice, Juan les Pin etc and to villages in the hills, also to the railway station where equally cheap trains will take you further afield, to Monaco or Italy.
Janie, Clare and Pascal were very friendly, efficient, helpful and supportive, and just a phone call away should any problem arise.
Dear Janet and Chris - We want you to know that we had a lovely stay in your apartment in Antibes. Very good bed, instructions in English for the appliances ( always a challenge), lovely terrace & the apartment so pleasing. Thank you. It had been 10 years since our last visit to the South of France & we did notice quite a bit of development in the area. I loved buying my fruits & vegetables at the little local market in La Fontanne. All the fresh, local produce piled into the wooden boxes -- wonderful in taste & much more variety & cheaper than the regular supermarkets. Sincerely, Marjorie Yasueda & Dale Knutsen , USA
