The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The Cote d'Azur is the warmest region in France and this area benefits from being protected by the Maritime mountains giving longer Summers and warmer Winters.
The area is so diverse whether you want mountains, a dramatic coastline,sea, beautiful beaches, history, architecture, city life, shopping or many hilltop villages the choice is endless. With Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Antibes all close by and Italy only 45 minutes away the location is ideal for touring.
France is renowned for its gastronomy and the area certainly gives a vast choice with many places for fine dining whether in historic buildings or reasonably priced restaurants and cafes close by and throughout the region.
St Paul de Vence / La Colle sur Loup area
La Colle Sur Loup is only 15 minutes from Nice airport and less than 1 hour from the ski resort of Greolieres. It is a beautiful village with cafes, restaurants, bakers, butchers,supermarkets and a Saturday market within a natural environment of pine, oak, olives and lemon trees.
There is a great tourist information office in the village with English speaking personnel. L'Abbaye is a 12th century priory now converted into a restaurant with a listed Romanesque chapel.
The River Loup is a 5 minute walk from Le Cottage where the locals go kayaking, rockclimbing or just stroll though the dappled light of the trees along the bank of the River.
Visit the world famous historic hill top village of St Paul de Vence within a 5 minute drive with its Foundation Maeght for Art, the historic Colombe D' Or Restaurant visited by many celebrities and wander its cobbled streets with many small independant shops and art galleries. Or just sit in the "Cafe de la Place" Restaurant/bar with a coffee or light lunch whilst you watch the locals playing one of the favourite pastimes of the French "Boule".
There are many villages close by Vence almost opposite St. Paul de Vence with a lovely old square and lots of winding streets and local shops, Tourrettes Sur Loup another hilltop village, Mougin a beautiful village, Biot where you can see glassblowing and many more.
If its shopping you love or perhaps something else your looking for there is no shortage of places to go with Nice where you should visit Le Cours Saleya market almost daily, Cannes famous for the film and music festivals, Antibes with its boating community and beautiful yachts and Monaco or the Grand Prix or a visit to the Casino. There is a vaste choice of small independant shops or larger stores to chose from in all these places. Or perhaps a drive to Ventimiglia just over the Italian border for something different. Or find a bargain on one of the local markets.
With easy access to the Cannes Film Festival and MIDEM International Music Festival and LIONS and the Monaco Grand Prix by train from Cagnes Sur Mer station only 10 minutes drive from the Villa.
There is something for everyone and so much to do and never enough time.
How to get there
Perfectly situated only 15 minutes from Nice Airport. Easyjet, British Airways and most major airlines fly in to Nice.
CAR HIRE - As you come out of arrivals many major car hire companies are directly in the airport.
Some guests who did not wish to drive or fly have arrived by train firstly to the main line station in Nice then onto the local station at Cagnes sur Mer. Then caught a taxi to the villa. We recommend a car to make the most of the Cote d'Azur and your stay.
Main Ferry port in Nice for large cruise liners. You can catch a boat directly to the beautiful island of Corsica booking required. Or in peak season from Antibes to St Tropez to avoid the traffic.
