Villefranche Old Town Romantic Studio, Villefranche-sur-Mer, The Corniches #0975 |

"Villefranche is a very pretty village that we thoroughly enjoyed and it made a great base to also visit other surrounding villages of the area.
The only thing we found really difficult was there was no internet or wifi at the apartment though it was advertised on the rental site as having so. Our businesses require we have access to the internet daily and this was false advertising as we would not have chosen this rental had we known, only finding out upon arrival and when we'd paid upfront.
If internet is not important then the apartment was fine with views over the rooftops and out to the sea. Nothing is left for you so be prepared to do a shop upon arrival, no detergent, half a roll of toilet paper & 2 bath towels for a 7 night stay."

"We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at Villa Nice. Much of this was due to the fact that it is the owners home and therefore did not have the impersonal quality of most rental properties. The owner was very friendly and helpful and supportive throughout our stay.we had a great time. The location was magnificent (but not for nervous drivers- or passengers!) the reception rooms and terrace were extremely nice and the garden included a boules pitch, a great plus. The kitchen was adequate, though poorly lit. My only criticism would be that with the exception of the master bedroom suite (which was terrific) the bedrooms and the beds are a lot smaller than they appear on the photos on the website - particularly the downstairs bedrooms' which also had no storage space. On the two nights when we had the full complement of 10people it felt overcrowded. I would also say that for a property in this price bracket I expected nicer bedlinen and pillows. But these are minor matters. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend it. "

Family Villa with pool in Juan Les Pins, Juan-Les-Pins, Antibes #0795 |
|
|
"Lovely home in a slightly residential area of Juan-Les-Pins, but a short walk to the water, and perhaps a 10-15 minute walk to the center of town. This house is great for families, or a group of 3 couples. It's strongest attribute is the pool/backyard area that is very secluded & relaxing (although very close to neighbors). Its least strong attribute is probably its location, which is mostly due to the less than desirable transportation system in Juan-Les-Pins (and really, all of the south of france). If you don't mind calling ahead for cabs, and being slightly removed from the town/beaches, this is a great house. Also, the house is equipped with tons of english speaking cable channels in case you get stuck in because of rain, etc. "

"Beausoleil is a lovely French resort very close to Monaco. It is a typical French town with many lovely local shops and friendly residents. One drawback of the resort from where the rental is sited is the vandalism to a local lift which means a steep climb of 21 steps. We dined in Fontville on a few occasions La Saliere and The Beef Bar are two memorable restaurants. Sitting people watching at The Cafe de Paris is well worth the cost of the drinks served.

"Having returned from my stay at the Port Palace View apartment for the Monaco GP am only just begining to come down from the high!
Fabulous apartment with the most amazing views, the fact we could see the last section of the track from the living room balcony was a most unexpected but welcome bonus. Waking up to the sounds of motor sport every day and walking out to that view had us all grinning from ear to ear.
The apartment itself is spacious and comfortably equipped although we made little use of the facilities as so much was going on in Monaco during the Grand Prix week.
Only improvements I can suggest is providing 2 sets of keys, we were in 2 groups at times so had to co-ordinate getting back into apartments but other than that can't really fault the place at all.
Although I would stress that the quick route down to Monaco via the stairs is rather uncomfotable in hot weather (and back up again!), as the welcome pack says it's better to get a cab back up but this was not really possible during the Grand Prix week which obviously is very busy.
We consoled ourselves with the fact that our daily workout on the stairs allowed for a helping of Tarte Tatin after dinner!
Fabulous apartment and I highly recommend it!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this stunning apartment. We felt very at home here and even chose to stay in and cook one night to make the most of it! You couldn't ask for a better holiday let website and all of our queries were answered promptly by the agent. The owner was there to greet us when we arrived which i thought was lovely - he was also extremely helpful. The best thing was the ease of it all as that's what makes it a holiday for me and i fully appreciated the high level of decor and attention to detail. The booking was easy, the location was perfect for the sea front and train station and i hope we will be able to stay again. Thoroughly recommended. Thank You !"

"The apartment is in great condition, the view from the balcony is lovely. South facing so it gets the sun all day, plus there are extendable canopies for ensuring your covered while having some al fresco dining. Ideal location if you have a car for visiting Nice and the other villages along the Riviera. The only issue is that the buses only run until 21:00 and the walk from Nice or Villefranche is around 25 minutes uphill back to the apartment. Taxis are between €15 and €20 back to the apartment. Make sure you visit Eze, lovely little village with a great view."

"We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Palais. We really loved the villa, which was even better than the pictures & we may come back again. The support we received when we were out there was fabulous & ensured that we got into all the restaurants & clubs that we wanted too. It was good to be able to pay in instalments.
Many thanks, Victoria"

"Spacious apartment in a great location.
Short stroll to the beach and round the corner from numerous restaurants and bars.
As well as ideally placed for Old Town Nice it was handy for the tram, train station and bus station so getting around was simplicity itself.
In short this apartment made a fantastic trip even better.
