Home description
Lovely south facing exceptionally spacious apartment no stairs, children and well behaved pets welcome. The apartment has just been completely redecorated. The bedrooms are comprised of one double, one twin, one with bunk beds, a double bed settee in the TV room which becomes completely private (this is the +1 bedroom) and a single daybed settee in the living room and in the storage room, all have brand new mattresses. A large utility room and a large full bathroom and a separate WC. We have a cot and a high chair. We supply linen and towels plus beach towels. You will find toilet paper and breakfast products to start you off. The balcony is ideal for having a glass of wine and watching the village prepare for the evening after a long hot day on the beach or at the rock pools in the village. The apartment is all on one floor on the second floor of a building with just three apartments, there is a lovely view of the village from the balcony, including the children's park. Next door to the bakery and just a few minutes walk from the village shop. My husband runs a trendy coffee shop, with a full licence of course, almost next door to the apartment serving snacks, breakfast, sandwiches, and of course aperitifs, wine beer etc. If you wish to come for a stress free holiday without a car we have a taxi service for €100 each way you can be collected from and returned to Nice airport and then use the bus service when you are here. You can rent a car at the airport and then use that to visit the area, the roads are tight but not too busy and I believe they drive carefully in our area - don't quote me - plenty of parking in Pigna.

Further details outdoors: The balcony is long and reaches over the lounge and TV room, it is suitable to have breakfast on and great to people watch as it is over the only road going into the village square. The balcony is not suitable for parties! There is a brand new tennis court, literally it has just been finished, a football field, two children's play areas - one visible from the apartment balcony - a 4star spa hotel where visitors can use the outdoor swimming pool. There is also a campsite 10 mins down the road in Isolabona, it has a big pool and you can go for the day, you can take food or buy what you need there, it's laid back and great fun for children. Lots and lots of outdoor space for children to freely run around.

Further details
I expect the apartment to be left tidy and all rubbish removed, actual cleaning is included in the rental charge. A welcome pack of milk, jam, butter, Melba toast, coffee, toilet paper and a chilled bottle of wine to start you off on your Pigna experience, will be in the apartment at no extra cost. Salt, pepper and oil are in the apartment. Brits bring your PG tips as nothing compares over here. You will have 2aset of linen per bed for a two week stay and two bath towels and two hand towels per person (if you feel you need more just ask), 4 tea-towels and also I provide bulky beach towels as these take up so much space in a suitcase. There is a washing machine in the apartment feel free to wash you linen if necessary. Please feel free to ask any questions that will be answered as quickly as possible.
Conditions
The property is all on one floor once inside but there are two flights of stairs to negotiate so it would be up to your discretion for a wheelchair. A Euro150 non refundable deposit is required to secure your holiday and the balance two month's before arrival depending on booking time.
