About the home

La Siagne is a three storey, plus 'cave' (cellar), roomy property which is so close to the village centre you can fetch the croissants and be back in the house whilst the coffee is brewing. You can then breakfast on the south facing upper terrace which overlooks the gorge and forest and in the distance, the Bay of St. Tropez. The lower terrace with the same views and accessed via the cave is partly shaded and adjoins a small garden containing orange trees, it is perfect for private sunbathing and BBQs.
Accommodation is on three floors with good beds and furniture, (no sofa beds or futons) and the one single, one double and one triple bedroom are all en suite with modern bathroom fittings and heated towel rails. The largest bedroom easily accommodates a double and single bed and the ensuite bathroom has a modern bath with a shower over, basin and toilet. The other en suites have showers, basins and toilets and there is a fourh basin and toilet in the utility room on the ground floor. Excellent high water pressure means the showers have power shower force.
The sociable living area which opens up through double French doors onto the upper terrace is well equipped, furnished and decorated which together with the open plan dining area and kitchen makes the house suitable for anyone living there permanently, it is much more than just a holiday home.
As winter daytime temperatures can be mild, winter holidays and breaks are possible as La Siagne is centrally heated and double glazed. In the evening you can settle down to a nice meal, a glass of wine and a good book or dvd if you do not want to go out, although the village bars and restaurants are so close you can be ' home' within five minutes of paying the bill.
If you would like to see more photographs of the house and area, or need additional information please send an e-mail via the 'contact owner' section of this website and I will gladly oblige by return.
This holiday letting is registered with the Mairie and Tourist Office in St Cezaire.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region

Possibly only six or seven hours by air from your own front door but probably a million miles away from what you have left behind, allowing you to experience the background hum of French life providing you with a sense of wellbeing and maybe a little smugness at having discovered such a great location. Hot summers and warm daytime winter temperatures are partly why this area of France remains such a popular destination. But whether you visit for the climate, the relaxed way of living, the food and wine, the historic hill villages, the art galleries and museums, the chic St. Tropez and Cannes or just that the budget airlines can fly you here quickly and cheaply, you will not be disappointed. A few words here are insufficient to capture everything there is to see and do and it is more interesting to explore for oneself, you will not be disappointed.

The Grasse / Saint Cezaire-sur-Siagne area

If you love France as much as the owners of this village house and other visitors for the past five years we know you will not be disappointed with La Siagne, the name of our house located behind the large 1720 Church which is the centrepiece of the village. As well as being on the Route Napoleon, St Cezaire is one of the gateway villages to the new regional park of the Alps d'Azur where there are numerous recreational activities available. It is also only 35 - 40 minutes inland from the beaches and restaurants of Cannes although the difference between the coastal towns and the village is incomparable. This ancient village is situated 300 metres above the river Siagne winding between steep cliffs and old terraced olive groves over which the back of the house looks. A 12th century chapel a short walk from the house is said to have been a storage place for the harvest for Caeser during his reign and the Grottes de St. Cezaire are a network of caves which were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and are the best known in the region.
Numerous activities, fetes, festivals, markets and other celebrations take place in the village belying its comparatively small population. There is a tennis club, horse riding and of course the mandatory boules pitches found everywhere in France. Bars and restaurants, a pharmacy, two butchers, a grengrocers, three bakers, a post office, newsagents, gift shop, antique shop, a bank and a tourist office are all within two to three minutes walk of our front door. St Cezaire sur Siagne is small, well kept, traditional and non touristy with a superb Saturday morning market, evening craft markets in the summer and other frequent celebratory events.
Contradictorally, walking and relaxing are two of the best pursuits to follow although a trip to Cannes or the more inland mountainous areas with other attractive hill villages is certainly worth while, time permitting. Grasse, which is a 20 minute drive away is famed for its perfumeries, free tours are available and the 'old town' is well worth a visit, Italy is a two hour drive, Monaco ninety minutes, St Tropez one hour and skiing at Greolieres forty five minutes. Hikers or for the less fit, walkers can enjoy the many trails which pass through the village and beyond although a gentle stroll round the village is also very pleasurable. The village tourist office www.saintcezairesursiagne.fr; email ot@saintcezairesursiagne.fr - telephone 0033 4 93 60 84 30 has English speaking staff who are extremely helpful, their web site also provides further information about the village and region. Lac de Saint Cassien which is 20 minutes from the village is noted for its superb carp and pike fishing and during the summer, the various leisure activities including boating, swimming, picnics and walking through the oaks and pines on its shores. Mountain Biking using a qualified guide who lives in St. Cezaire is available and he will also rent you a mountain bike.
The annual week long Jazz Festival takes place in August and has now been running for several years. It gains in popularity each year and is a must for any Jazz fans. The next festival takes place between 5 & 11 August 2013.

“Very comfortable quiet town house with magnificant views and excellent accomodations.” La Siagne is perched on the edge of the gorge of the Siagne River, just a half block from the town square and church, near several bakeries and convenient provision shops. The house has been nicely... more

“Lovely traditional French townhouse in delightful location” La Siagne is a superbly equipped, comfortable village town house with breathtaking views from the rear across the La Siagne river gorge to the mountains and, ultimately to the sea. The house is very comfortably furnished and provides en suite bathroom accommodation for every room as well as satellite TV, excellent washing facilities and just about every other piece of equipment you could imagine.Loads of information is also provided to ensure one's stay is enoyed to the full The owners are supremely helpful and accommodating and ensured our two month stay was brilliant. The lovely medieval village in which the house is located provides a terrific blend of traditional romantic French village lief with all the modern conveniences such as shops, new supermarket and large pharmacy. Its location within the area means that the hotspots of Nice, Cannes and Antibes are only a short distance but one is delightfully detached from them by a few hundred feet of clean mountain air.

“Wonderful find, peaceful and relaxing” Great house with all things required to make it a good holiday (inluding beach umbrellas and cooler). Lovely location, good base to explore rest of Provence from. Landlord very acommodating and helpful, and we really felt like we were guests rather than tenants. And the views are definitely out of this world. The only hang up was that the washing machine did work, but I believe it was fixed as we were leaving.

“Beautiful location and great service” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Siagne and the owner could not have been more helpful. The instructions we were provided with when booking were extremely thorough and covered everything we needed to know (and more). Further guide books and brochures are also provided within the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived and the house is well equipped. Sky television and wi-fi is provided for those who may struggle without their gadgets (yes, we took a teenager). The views from the back of the house are stunning and there are good facilities for al-fresco dining, including BBQ equipment. Payment was straightforward and the damage deposit returned promptly. The property is situated in a very pretty little village called St-Cezaire-sur-Siagne, near to the well-known town of Grasse. All of the local shop-keepers were very friendly and there is a great little pizzeria just a minute's walk from the front door. Restaurant Lou San Feriou is very good. We would strongly recommend a visit to the 'Point de Vue' on the Place du 8 Mai 1945. It is a good location for exploring the coast if you so desire, with plenty of good beach spots nearby. Antibes, Cannes and Nice are within easy reach and we even managed to make a trip to Monaco. On the other hand, it would not be difficult to spend a few days without leaving the village if you simply wanted a quiet and relaxing retreat. There are plenty of walking opportunities and a visit to the local 'Lac St Cassien' is recommended. All in all, a very pleasant holiday let and we will strongly consider returning. Response: Out of ten independent reviews so far, I have eight 'greats' and two 'goods' which is very pleasing and puts La Siagne close to the gold medal position.

“Wonderful house in breathtaking location” The booking process, help, advice, and key pick-up, drop-off, etc were all faultless. The house itself was great - exactly as described and ideal for a family with children whose ages ranged between 6 and 10 and who wanted to experience France away from the hoards of tourists that you get on the Cote D'Azur. The views from the property and surrounding area are breathtaking and there are great public beaches within a 30 to 40 minute drive, so that you can get the best of both worlds. A wonderful 'home-from-home' where pretty much everything has been thought of, including easily accessed Wi-Fi. To top it all, caring and thoughtful customer service from the owner! Response: Good reviews are the icing on the cake. In dealing with guests enquiries and reservations I try to imagine their expectations based on what my own would be, and then attempt to meet them.

“First class property with all home from home comforts” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this first class house. The house is situated in a charming village but still close enough to visit all tourist attractions and beaches. It is very homely and comfortable. I would not hesitate in recommending this property to anybody. Response: Many thanks, it is always nerve racking when asking for a review as you never know whether you have done enough to meet guest's expectations.

“Summer holiday in March” It was lovely to arrive in the village in beautiful sunshine so that we could appreciate the spectacular view from the terrace out to the gorge. The house was everything we hoped for and more,spacious rooms, comfortable beds,well stocked kitchen and buckets and spades for the day on the beach.We were very fortunate that it was such a warm week so we were able to fully appreciate the surrounding areas.We loved the village culture, the local bar, walking to buy croissants in the morning and playing boules . A really relaxing stay in a beautiful place. Response: Thank you for your generous and positive review which will hopefully reassure other potential guests that everything is as described.

“Fabulous house, fabulous views, a real home from home.” It was our second year on the trot to La Saigne, this time with little seven month old Harry in tow. Staying for two weeks this time allowed us to explore more of the village and it didn't fail to disappoint us. The house offers everything you need whether you stay around the village, head off to the beach or sight seeing around the local area. The house was very clean and comfortable, with stunning views from the terrace. We found the locals very helpful even with our lack of the French language !!! Had a great holiday and was sorry to leave. Response: Hopefully 'little Harry' will also be coming back quite soon and quickly start to pick up some French language. Thanks for returning and for your positive and kind remarks.

“Home from home balanced on the edge of a beautiful gorge” Lovely accomodation with many DVDs, CDs, books and games available to use. It is literally on the edge of the gorge with a 10m drop beyond the reasonably sturdy garden fence. We were pleased to find everything we wanted: utensils, trays, many glasses, lots of crockery, tupperware etc. It is very well located with the church, restaurants and village shops just a couple of minutes walk away. In spite of being a terrace no noise through the walls. We loved the local gorge walk, take your swimming things if you go down as there are some beautiful pools in the river. It took some playing to understand the oven but then I didn't look for instructions which I'm sure were supplied; all possible information needed is supplied in a very organised manner. If you have young children with no self preservation who climb fences beware (sensible ones no problem). There is a great selection of guide books, no need to buy your own. Great snorkelling to the west of Cannes. Helpful local tourist information. Response: The 'home from home' comment is often received, we regard it as a compliment especially when the home is in such a great location and someone else does the cleaning and laundry.

“Delightful and well equiped house in a idylic setting” This is a wonderful house in a beautiful setting, the owners have supplied everything. It is spotlessly clean and is very spacious. The village is a delight with fresh produce available each day within a minute of leaving the house. A car is essential to visit the many places all within reasonable distance, such as Cannes, Grasse, St Tropez, Nice and many smaller beautiful villages. Restaurants and bars available within the village, just a short walk away. This house and location comes highly recommended, can't wait to return, the minute you step inside it feels like you haven't left home. relaxation to the highest degree. Delightful. Response: We work hard to try and ensure that guests feel the way you appear to about La Siagne, so your comments are very rewarding.

“A superbly located property with loads of character and fully equipped” This property is well located for those with transport who want to visit the local attractions; Cannes, Nice, Eze, Monaco, St Tropez are all easy day trips. The house has everything you need, and is full of character with lovely views from the terrace. It is set in a quiet cul-de-sac just off the main village square. There are good local restaurants within walking distance, and everything you need is there. The locals are friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there, and would definitely re-book the same place if we are in the area. Response: Your top rating is very pleasing,good feedback from previous guests must help anyone esle considering where to book their break.Many thanks.

“"La Siagne" - Great House, Great Town, Great Break” Pitched up here in St Cezaire sur Siagne in February after many previous stays. This time we were in a group of friends determined to make the most of a long weekend in a beautiful house in an archetypal French village. The house is spotless, well equipped, spacious and perfectly located for both the amenities in the village itself, and for the wider area, including St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Monaco and much more. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, brilliant for a group trying to get up and out to make the most of the day. The upstairs and downstairs terraces are wonderful places to catch the sun, dine al fresco or simply watch the sunset over the gorge and beyond with a glass of wine or three. The owners have made sure everything we'd need is at hand, providing an excellent information pack for both the house and for everything you may need during your stay. Food figures large with us and our friends, and although the village has restaurants and bars (which we made good use of) we actually ate in for two of our three nights. The kitchen has everything to prepare anything from a snack to a banquet, and the local shops and super Saturday market (or hypermarkets of which there are a few close by) stock all the ingredients you'd need. Once prepared, your feast can be seen off comfortably at the dining table or outside on the terrace. Breakfast is made all the more special when it consists of the fabulous bread and croissants from one of the few boulangeries in the village. We all loved everything about our stay here but all had one criticism - it was far too short. Can't wait for the next visit to "La Siagne", must start looking for some cheap flights. Response: Returning guests are always a good advertisement, it is great to hear from them again. We hope that La Siagne will figure in your 2012 holiday plans.

“La Saigne - fabulous location” The location was wonderful. Just off the centre of the village in a small dead end street. The house has everything you would ever need, it is well equiped. All bedrooms have en-suite and are a good size. The view out from either of the terraces or from the house rear windows are spectacular. You are right on the edge of the gorge. It is also convienent for visiting local sights, with Cannes only 40 minutes away (we did go to the film festival). The village has everything you need, two bakers, small supermarket with a local market twice a week, along with plenty of bars and restaurants it makes a great place to stay. So if you are into walking, cycling or just want to rest - La Signe is the place to do it. Response: The supermarket has now closed although we understand a larger one is being built to replace it. All of the other local shops remain and are now stocking a good selection of basic supermarket items in addition to their normal goods. Many thanks for your positive review.
