A lovely gite within reach of Nice, beautiful beaches, rivers, hilltop villages and mountains. Perfect for visits all year round.
I first booked this before Covid, so it's been a long time coming. Phoebe and J-F ('Jeff') are lovely hosts, welcoming, helpful, but not in your face. The gite felt very private and had everything we needed. It was super hot, but the fans did the trick and it wasn't too hot to sleep. Amenities and good restaurants were within walking distance, although I confess we were lazy and drove anyway! The pool was a delight, very private and just the right temperature in this hot weather. The surroundings were nice and quiet, which was a relief as we live in the countryside and are not used to noise. There was so much to do! I was with my 13-year-old daughter and we went to Vieux Nice (shopping and a swim in the sea), a lovely beach recommended by Phoebe (see her blog on beaches) at Theoule, a freezing cold river, again recommended by Phoebe (see her blog on rivers!). If it had been cooler we would definitely have embarked on a hike or two higher up in the mountains. Just enough time to laze around the pool a bit and then sadly it was all over. We would never have found the beach or river without Phoebe's recommendations, so thank you! I just wish we'd had time to visit them all...
