The gardens are private, very peaceful and enclosed for children to play in. There is also a pretty wooden garden house with table and chairs. Please note: the owners do not permit barbecues in the garden here, as they consider them to be too much of a fire risk.

The St Paul de Vence / Vence area

Vence is an artist’s town and along with its equally well-known neighbouring town of Saint Paul de Vence, is situated amidst the beautiful hilly scenery to the west of Nice.

It has drawn artists both well known and amateur, and a special attraction is “Matisse’s Chapel”, just a short walking distance from the beautiful old-town. Another is the “Chagall painting” in the Cathedral.

There is a wide range of shops, restaurants, boulangeries and markets in the town centre of Vence and Villa Lavande is situated approximately 2.5 km away. It is possible to walk from the villa to the town, which takes approx 30 minutes via a shortcut (please note: this route is unlit and uphill on the return). There is also a 3-screen cinema in the town.

The Mediterranean towns of Nice, Antibes and Cannes are all close by where you can enjoy a day on the beach, or visit the ports.

Tennis, golf, equitation, and water sports are all nearby, as well as a local outdoor swimming pool from May - Sept.

With its close proximity to the surrounding hilly countryside, the villa is an ideal base for those who enjoy the outdoors, walking and cycling. The region is also well served by ski-stations in the winter, some of which can be reached within an hours drive.

The villa is within easy reach of Nice International Airport and all that the Cote d’Azur has to offer.

“Stunning views and a peaceful, relaxed ambience that will resonate for years” The owner was very accommodating, helpful and friendly and gave us a lovely welcome. The property was perfect for our needs and the location ideal. It was comfortable with all the facilities we needed and tremendous views across the hills to the sea. At night the lights shone from the surrounding properties like stars caught in the trees - and the view from upstairs was like being in an aeroplane descending to Nice airport with magical lights below. It was easy to get to the local sights and see the cote d'azur from coast to gorge by car. All in all it was a charming villa and a very relaxing stay.

Excellent. Paul Rhodes was most helpful in answering our queries and ensured the smooth booking of our holiday. Thank you! (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs L. from Devon, July 11.

Wonderfully generous and helpful hosts with attention to detail. Easily the best villa we ever stayed in. Fabulous. The walking distance from Villa Lavande into Vence is 30-40 minutes, a car is therefore necessary. From Vence onwards public transport is excellent. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs M. from Warwickshire, Sept 10.

Beautifully decorated and very well maintained. Everything we could have needed was provided, and it was all of a high quality. The children were very well catered for. Would definitely return to this property. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs A. from London, May 2010.

Villa Lavande was superb, and so was the owner who was very service minded and nice! (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied. We would like to use you again! - Mrs H. from Norway, May 09.

A lovely property in a very quiet setting with great views down to the Med. House was well equipped and comfortable - Mr B. from Hants, Mar 08.

What a beautiful place to stay for our first visit to Provence! We have loved our time at your comfortable and beautifully decorated house – whatever we needed during the week it was there! We loved the experience of exploring the area (starting with the garden for the children!) and the house made for the perfect base – Mr. M from Dublin, Apr 07.

We’ve enjoyed staying here for two weeks, mainly with fine sunny weather. The house is very comfortable and has absolutely everything possible required. It’s a strong possibility that we would return to this area and indeed would very much like to stay here again. Vence has everything you need and has been particularly relaxing. Thank you very much – Mr P. from Stirling, Mar 07.

A beautiful house and a beautiful part of France, we have had a superb stay here, best wishes Mrs B. from Edinburgh, Oct 06
