La Siagne (house)

Home description

Everything on your doorstep is an inadequate description for this large village house. You can fetch the croissants whilst the kettle is boiling and then breakfast on the upper terrace overlooking the gorge and forest and in the distance, the Bay of St. Tropez. The lower terrace is part shaded and adjoins a small garden containing orange trees and a lawn, 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 bedrooms are all en suite with modern bathroom fittings. The sociable living area is well equipped, furnished and decorated and the open plan dining area and kitchen would be more than adequate for anyone living permanently in the house.
Even winter holidays and breaks are possible as the house is centrally heated and double glazed and day time temperatures can be quite high
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. Needless to say there are bars and restaurants and sufficient butchers and bakers etc. to satisfy the needs of the most demanding gourmet holidaymaker.
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.
If you would like to see more photographs of the house and area, or need additional information please send me an e-mail via the 'contact owner' section of this website and I will gladly oblige by return.

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

Only six or seven hours by air from your front door in England but a million miles away from what you have left behind, allowing you to experience the background hum of French life providing 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.

Saint Cezaire-sur-Siagne area

If you are reading this it is probably because you love France in common with the owners of this house and other visitors for the past two years. We also love La Siagne which is the name of our house, and the fantastic little village of St. Cezaire sur Siagne which is on the Route Napoleon and about 35 - 40 minutes inland from Cannes although the difference between the coastal towns and the village is incomparable. This ancient village is situated on a rock 300 meters 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. 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.Two bars and three restaurants, a pharmacy, two butchers, three bakers, a post office, newsagents, gift shop, antique shop, one small supermarket/shop which seems to stock everything, a bank and a tourist office are all within two to three minutes walk of our front door. 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.com, email stcezaire@free.fr - telephone 0033 4 93 60 84 30 has english speaking staff who are extremely helpful and they have even arranged taxis to and from the airport in the past, their web site is worth a look for further information about the village and region. Lac de Saint Cassien which is 20 minutes from the village is noted for its Carp and Pike fishing which is an all year round season.

How to get there

Nice airport to St Cezaire by car takes 50 minutes along good roads which are part motorway (toll 2euros 70cents).

BMI flies from Heathrow , BMibaby from Birmingham, Jet2 from Leeds-Bradford and Manchester, Flybe from Manchester, Exeter, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham, Southampton, Leeds-Bradford and Norwich. The village can be accessed by train from Nice to Grasse and then bus or taxi from Grasse, there is also a good bus service from the terminal building to Grasse and daily bus services from Grasse to the village although a taxi may be more convenient. Alternatively a taxi from Nice costs about £80 one way although private transfer may be arranged more cheaply. Good value flights are also possible into Marseilles by BA, easyjet, Ryanair and BMi baby and to Toulon by Ryanair. Best value car hire from all of the large companies may be found via www.travelsupermarket.com and follow the car hire link which will search for the best deal .
