Lovely house but limited access
This is a fantastic house close to a beautiful small village. It is large, roomy and airy with good gardens with shade and sun. It has a wonderful outdoor seating areas to enjoy evenings in comfortable seats and barbeque areas. We brought our dog and were happy that the garden is secure. The indoor furniture and beds are comfortable. It is close to Grasse and good for sightseeing. The village is a delight with a great little restaurant, a boulangerie, a tabac and a few small shops. You can have a great stay here with a large group easily fitting in. The swimming pool is large and secluded, although the lining is stained.
We probably suffered from it being end-of season. The longer cushions were really quite dirty and the cleaner could have cleared up the previous visitors mess a bit better. The kitchen though big could have benefitted from a few more utensils. We struggled to open a can one night and by the look of a bent pen knife so did others. Perhaps they had been lost during the season. Some washing up liquid and dishwasher tabs would have been a good thought. Perhaps this is an issue for the cleaner rather than the owner who isn't in the area. The property manager was helpful and charming.
The major point that would be good to know is that it is located at the end of a quite long, very narrow and very steep access road. So narrow we couldn't get our camper van up it. We had to hire a small car as it is so steep you wouldn't want to walk up it carrying shopping without getting out of breath. Even in a small peugeot 108 there was little clearance on either side so really this property is unsuitable if you have a large vehicle or wide car.
However if that's not an issue for you then this is a place you can have an enjoyable stay.
