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


L’essence Provençale
At Villa Clara you’re perfectly situated if you’re planning to explore and enjoy Provence and the Côte d’Azur. This region, or ‘department’, of Provence is called ‘Alpes Maritime’.
The small town of Vence is 10 minutes drive from Villa Clara and is famous as a home for artists, sculptors and painters. DH Lawrence, Matisse, Chagall and Carzou are among those who once lived here. Today, there are exhibitions of contemporary art, jazz and classical music festivals and a famous book market.
Exporing the Côte d’Azur is easy too. Villa Clara is only 16 kilometres from Nice and it’s a short trip to nearby Cannes, and historic Antibes as well. The airport is 22km away from the Villa.
The nearest train station is Cagnes sur Mer at only 8km of St Jeannet and the motorway as well is 8km away from the Villa.
The nearest beach is in Saint Laurent du Var (12km) and for ski lovers', the nearest ski resort is in Greolieres les Neiges (49km).
Heading east along the Riviera takes you to the principality of Monaco. This is a great drive along the Mediterranean coast. Italy too is within easy reach. The border is only 1 hour from Villa Clara, and from there you have easy access to the heart of Northern Italy.
The St Jeannet area
Villa Clara is in the village of St Jeannet. The village is situated below a spectacular rock formation called Baou de St Jeannet.
The rock face rises over 200 meters. St Jeannet is beautiful, authentic and unspoiled. Excellent food and wine is available. And exploring the medieval streets and buildings is a ‘must do’.
Would you like to try your hand at authentic Provençale cooking? Or enjoy a guided walk or tour to discover beautiful places that only someone with local knowledge can take you to. Or brush up your French with a lesson or two. Oui?
If you’re staying at Villa Clara you have the opportunity to enjoy all these wonderful activities and experiences, for a great value price.
Benoit and Corinne live in St Jeannet, and can make all the arrangements for you, including transportation. All you have to do is enjoy the day. Whether that means tramping in the beautiful Alps with a wine and cheese picnic, or learning how to prepare some truly wonderful Provençale dishes

Hi Anna
Sorry for the delay in writing but life was a little hectic when we got back.The holiday was great,we managed to do very little other than read,swim and eat and take in those fabulous views.Your home is in a beautiful setting and the gardens were a joy with great colours and delightful aromas.It really does feel like a home and we understand why you love the area so much.We came to the Grasse area two years ago but we preferred St Jeannet.Benoit and Corinne were charming and helpful with a good sense of humour and the gardener looked very like Sebastien Chabal the French rugby player.
A smashing week for both of us,thankyou for all your help in having everything so well organised.
Best wishes
Peter and Marie
Dear Anna and Bryan
A big Thank You from the six of us who spent such a wonderful week at Villa Clara 23rd - 30th May.
Your home in St Jeannet is truly wonderful and is definitely a 'happy' family home. Even now being back home we think fondly of our week in Villa Clara we could not fault a thing and loved the pool. We were totally taken back with the views.
Benoit was an exceptional Manager who made us feel very welcome and settled. We called upon his assistance getting to the St Laurent train station on the Grand Prix day and he was waiting for us on our return with his minibus.
St Jeannet is a beautiful village and we enjoyed sampling all the restaurants and what a joy it was to find a Vineyard on our doorstop so obviously after lots of sampling the different wines with our meals we just had to visit and support the locals.
We were taken back by the width of the roads and this took a bit of getting use to especially 'Bon Courage' and your driveway in a Porsche (low slung!)
I hope you enjoyed watching the Grand Prix on TV. I had booked train tickets and everything went off without a hitch and we loved every minute of the day, we were sitting on Rascasse corner so felt very much part of the race being so close to the circuit.
So all in all a perfect week was spent at Villa Clara and all six hope to return in the future. Thank you for all your information and help on planning and booking at Villa Clara.
Kindest Regards Jane and Angus
We have now returned from our fantastic trip to Provence. After a week near Avignon we moved to Villa Clara and were thrilled with what we found.
Both Dyan & I, along with our friends the Rodrigues, want you to know how much we enjoyed using the villa. It is a real jewel and you must take such joy in spending time there.
The facilities were in excellent condition, the property is simply awesome and the location served our day trips perfectly. In addition, we appreciated the personal contact of Benoit and Corrine, both of whom represent you very well.
Thanks again for all your co-operation and for the use your villa.
Cordially Yours
