Facilities

Further details indoors:
The house is very spacious and has five bedrooms with five en suite bath or shower rooms.

It is nicely furnished with some antiques and paintings in the living areas. There is (wireless) internet access. There is Sky Sports and children's and living channels available in English as well as French Canal+ and normal French TV channels.
There is a video/ DVD player and recorder, and a choice of videos and DVDs available to watch.

Musically there are several radio/ CD players, and at least one iPod speaker system available (can also charge iPods).

The kitchen is well supplied as I am a keen cook.

A baby travel cot, a baby wooden cot, and pushchair and high chair are available. In the garden area there are cycles for small children (baby to 3 year old at the moment).

Below the house there is a garden apartment where I live. The house is completely separate from the apartment, but the garden is shared. The house has private use of the lovely roof terrace.

Further details outdoors:
I have a small garage opposite the house which will take a normal 4 door car, but not an estate car or a 4 x 4 or anything bigger if you wish to close the door. Parking can also be provided in the garage at the bottom of the garden or you can park on the street near the house (30metres). Please book garages in advance.
There is a very large flat roof with lovely views available for sunbathing and entertaining outside. There is a large gas barbecue on the roof.
In the lower garden there is a petanque court.
If only the upper part of the house is rented, access to the lower garden is via external steps.

Further details

No smoking allowed inside the villa. Small pets only are welcome.

I can arrange children's clubs at French centres during the French school holidays (except for August) for children aged 2 and upwards. Approximate cost of 150 Euros a week. I can also arrange local babysitters or nannies (English speaking), both of which are plentiful, and charge from around 8 to 10 Euros an hour.

Conditions

The house has a large number of steps as we have very high ceilings so wheelchair users may have difficulty in going upstairs.

The house is available for letting long term. Please ask.

Just to say thank you for letting us use your beautiful home, we had a great time. (Anne and Richard from Brittany)

We loved the house in Nice. We all really enjoyed our week. The house had so much more character than a boring American style hotel where we could have stayed. (Brian, Dublin)

We all enjoyed our time in your lovely villa and hope to do it again sometime. Thanks. (Anne, UK)
