The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
Nice has great sunshine all year round, and has lots of things to do for adults and children. There is fantastic scenery and many different places to explore: Antibes, Juan les Pins, St Paul de Vence, Cannes and closer by the old town of Nice, Villefrance, Cap Ferrat, Eze and Monte Carlo. There are plenty of shops in Nice, or there's San Remo in Italy, just over an hour away by car which also has great shopping, For children, apart from the pool and beach, there is a zoo on Cap Ferrat, the aquarium in Monaco and Marineland in Antibes. Also in the winter, skiing is only around one hour's drive away at Isola 2000, and you still have the possibility to enjoy the Cote d'Azur in the evening!
The Nice / Mont Boron area

Guestbook for Villa Dracoena
UK, Hampshire
This Villa is a place of pure beauty. My husband and I had been looking for some time for a Villa that fulfilled our criteria, which included ‘Must be of Belle Epoque vintage’. We had the best holiday ever here, relaxing in those beautiful surroundings of the wonderfully cared-for gardens and the fantastic views of the sea and mountains.
We appreciated the care that had gone into creating a beautiful old atmosphere – – and the fact that it really felt like our home for those weeks. The gardeners were so very helpful and kept the garden well-watered and tended (beautiful blue agapanthus by the way - it was July and very, very hot!). I gather the garden has been kept to its original design/inspiration which I think is lovely. There was always somewhere shady to find to sit with a book and a drink and of course plenty of sunny spots. The pool was very welcome too. We loved the kitchen and the very ‘cool’ ice-machine! The décor was fabulous – tasteful and a bit decadent at the same time and the atmosphere was soothing and reassuringly old-school. We had such a relaxing time, it felt as if time had stood still for us and we really escaped the hustle and bustle of life.We did not want to leave! We hope to return again – it really is a special place, a real one-off treasure in a prime spot

My family and I have spent three very happy and delightful summer holidays at Villa Dracoena and look forward to many more. Staying at the villa is a delight. The villa itself is beautiful and the large gardens are superb, Both the villa and the gardens are blessed with magnificant views and I truly mean magnificant views.
As stated above we love the villa and the gardens but for us, what makes staying at Villa Dracoena really special are the people involved with it. The owner of the property really cares that your stay at the villa is an enjoyable one, and the caretakers who look after the Villa to the very hightest of standards, are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
My family and I look forward to our next stay at Villa Dracoena. It is always a delight.
