The property is superbly located with stunning views across the valley to Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Very old interesting house, but beautifully furnished, very clean and well equipped for a relaxing holiday with family and friends. Rémy and Jacqueline were on hand with advice and suggestions, to welcome us on arrival and to see us off when we left. We couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back.

Beautiful rustic villa with breath taking view. Owners Remy & Jacqueline absolutely delightful and informative. Villa has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay and a lovely large pool and exceptionally pretty garden. Car essential as steep 35 min walk to village. Highly recommended!

We've been renting summer houses for more than 20 years in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy and France, and this was the best place ever! The historic atmosphere of the house, the view, the nearby St. Paul and the surroundings - altogether made this a magnificent two weeks vacation. The house is well-furnished and equipped, everything works (doesn't always) - the pool, the kitchen, air-condition, barbecue...
In addition the hosts are discretely present when required, and Remy gave lots of insight both in the history of the house, the region and possible trips. We found it very valuable. Thanks a lot for a pleasant stay!

Everything was perfect. A beautiful home from home for rest and relaxation as well as an ideal base for exploring the beautiful local area. Lovely owners who were available to help and at the same time, a discreet presence.

We have just returned from a wonderful week staying in Remy and Jacqueline’s beautiful house with its stunning view of the village of St Paul de Vence. The house itself is really well equipped and comfortable, with lovely bedrooms. We adored the blissful swimming pool which is a lovely temperature and has a nice shallow end perfect for our 3 children. Sitting by the pool listening to the bells of the church in St Paul de Vence was magical. We enjoyed many lazy breakfasts and dinners sitting up on the gorgeous terrace at the big communal table surrounded by flowers and olive trees. The local area is wonderful - we visited Antibes, St Jeannet, Tourettes and Vence, as well as having a truly memorable meal at La Colombe D’Or in St Paul de Vence. Remy was a fantastic host and we honestly couldn’t have had a better week.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The property is absolutely stunning and the views of Saint Paul de Vence are breathtaking. The property is very spacious and was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed beautiful sunny days around the pool and enjoyed relaxing in the evening in the various lounges and outside spaces. The hosts Remy and Jacqueline were incredibly helpful and were on hand should we have needed anything. I would definitely recommend this property!

Magnifique et authentique
L’accueil par Remy et Jacqueline était chaleureux et personnel, nous faisant nous sentir “chez nous” dès la première minute.
La maison est magnifique et authentique, avec des chambres et salles-de-bains ou de douche pour chacun (3 enfants et 2 parents).
Une vue inégalable et Saint-Paul-de-Vence, qu’on peut rejoindre en 5 minutes en voiture, est très charmant.
Vivement conseillé!

We have just returned home after spending 3 weeks at this beautiful villa.
We had the most relaxing 3 weeks away at this beautiful Villa. It was very clean . The owners were lovely. The town of St Paul devence is a little gem of a place with lots of fantastic restaurants and bonus it was walkable. My only regret of the holiday was not waking up early enough to see the sun rising which I’ve been told is an amazing sight. We will certainly be returning.

Authentieke woning op prachtige locatie
Heel aangename ontvangst door de eigenaars in deze rustieke woning voorzien van alle nodige comfort. De ligging en het uitzicht zijn fantastisch. Je kan er van de rust genieten of uitstapjes maken naar zowel het strand als de bergen of naar Mediterrane steden en pittoreske dorpjes.. We hebben ervan genoten!

Saint Paradise de Paul
The photos don't do this house justice. We are a family of four with a labrador just returned from two weeks at Remy's house. It was simply epic. Relaxing, totally private, within each reach of the village, quick drives to Grasse, Mougin, Nice airport, Ile Sainte Margarite. The aircon (3/4 bedrooms) was a godsend given the heat. Remy is a fantastic host and a font of knowledge for local restaurants and trips. Strongly recommended.

Lovely old villa in the foothills of the Alps
This was a beautiful old house, which has been tastefully modernised . The air conditioning in particular was a godsend during the hot weather we had this summer. There’s a wonderful view from the terrace of the old town of St Paul de Vence, just across the valley. The hosts were friendly but did not intrude on our privacy. A great stay all round

Fantastic authentic and beautiful house in stunning surroundings!
We had the most wonderful holiday (2 weeks) in the lovely house owned be Remy and Jacqueline. The house is beautifully placed on a hill with stunning views on Saint Paul de Vence. It was lovely to sit on the terrace during the evenings and look out on the valley and beautiful old city. The house was perfect for two families with 4 kids- age between 7 and 10. They loved the pool and it was great to cool down there during the day. We made a number of trips during the daytime, but stayed a lot of the time at the house during the evenings, and made lovely meals on the barbecue.
We felt very welcome in the house, and Remy and Jacqueline were there to welcome us and show us around the house when we arrived. It was nice that Remy came by the house regularly to check on the pool and clean. We always had a nice chat, and he provided us with great stories about the house and area. And also gave us some great tips for day trips in the area.
We would definitely consider to return for another holiday.

Fantastic stay in a great place
A superb house with lots of character that easily housed the 5 of use. Generously sized bedrooms and tastefully decorated. Really well equipped. Amazing view over to the old town of Saint Paul. Really nice pool. Remy and Jaqueline were very nice hosts and provided some very helpful and interesting local insight.
Only thing that lessened the enjoyment were the rather hungry mosquitos.
All in all a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

Wonderfull vacations
We have spent there a phantastic vacation with our two girls 13 years old and our dog. Everything was absolutely perfect. The house, location and surrounding is the perfect place to relax . The photos on the website does not show the complete beauty of the house. In reality it is even nicer. And the price of the house is without any doubt absolutely correct and fair for that what you will find there. Jacqueline and Remy are the best hosts you can find and we thank them very much for their hospitality. We are very happy to return again.
Missing you and St. Paul de Vence
Kindest regards
Liv, Lisa, Anja and Frank

Absolutely perfect!
The home is nestled on a hillside with stunning views of St Paul de Vence, which is a short drive away. We never tired of sitting on the terrace and looked forward to arriving home to watch the sun go down. The home is completely equipped and beautifully decorated. The online photos do not do it justice! Remy and his wife were perfect hosts in every respect. It was a wonderful week for us. Definitely 5 stars across the board!

Einfach traumhaft!
Es waren sicher die zwei schönsten Ferien-Wochen die wir jemals erlebt haben. Wegen eines Familienfestes haben wir, 6 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder und unser kleiner Hund dieses Haus gemietet und uns von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute sehr wohl, ja richtig zuhause gefühlt.
Das historische Haus in dieser traumhaften Lage wurde mit viel Liebe und Engagement ausgebaut und faszinierte uns mit vielen kleinen Details. Es ist besonders geschmackvoll und reichhaltig ausgestattet, eine Seltenheit bei Ferienhäusern.
Es war alles vorhanden, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht, sogar Kinderbett, Kinderstuhl und Laufstall. Die Küche ist modern und komplett ausgestattet und macht richtig Spass darin zu kochen.
Die vielen Stunden am Pool waren entspannend, dass Wasser fantastisch und ohne Chlor gepflegt, der Blick auf Saint Paul atemberaubend.
Sehr genossen haben wir, dass das Haus soviel Raum bietet, dass jeder sich ungestört zurückziehen konnte und nie das Gefühl von Enge aufkam.
Mit dem Auto war man in wenigen Minuten im qualitätvollen Supermarkt, Bäckerei, Sehenswürdigkeiten und sehr guten Restaurants. Die Vermieter sind bei allen Fragen sehr hilfsbereit und außerordentlich gastfreundlich, sprechen sehr gut englisch und italienisch und gaben uns immer das Gefühl willkommen zu sein.
Dieses Haus und sein Ambiente werden wir nie vergessen und zu gerne würden wir wieder einmal dahin zurückkehren.

Rustic charm, beautiful views, fab restaurants, relaxation, historical towns. What more do you want?
We had the most wonderful time in what was a beautiful farmhouse full of character and stunning views. Remy and Jacqueline greeted us and were charming throughout our stay, always making sure everything was fine but not interfering. The house was spotless and very comfortable. We were and family of eight all over 23 and everyone had their own space, bathrooms, and a place to relax either in the sun or the shade. We would definitely love to return. Thanks you Remy and Jacqueline for sharing your lovely home with us all. 😘�

Charming French house with stunning views, spacious interiors and fabulous pool
A charming French house for two families to share as each family can occupy its own "wing".
The house has spacious living areas and a well equipped kitchen. We spent all of our time outside. The pool was a real highlight for us and we spent most days just hanging out here. The terrace has spectacular views of the village and surrounding countryside.
We had some great local tips from owner Remy and managed to tear ourselves away from our loungers to visit the busy but beautiful local beaches and sample the wine at Chateau de Berne. We enjoyed a great day at Belles Rives beach club too.
Thanks Remy! We'd love to come back one day.

Just beautiful. Just perfect.
What can I say? This is one of the most beautiful vacation rentals we ever had. This historic house has been restored with so much care and taste. Each of the rooms is special, with great views of St. Paul and/or the wonderful garden. Our kids just loved their rooms in the "tower" and we loved our room in the even older part of the building. Beautiful terrace with only a few steps to the pool. And our dog disappeared in the gardens for hours. Ask Remy, the landloard, and he will explain to you the scenic trail to St. Paul de Vence which we were hiking the other day to have breakfast at the Cafe de la Place. If you want to walk a little further, you can even reach La Foundation Maeght by foot. There is so much to see and visit nearby (Vence, Nice, Antibes, Cannes) but we caught ourselves just wanting to stay at the house. Our hosts Remy and Jacqueline were very kind and helpful, both giving us advice on shopping opportunities, sightseeing and hiking possibilities. And they kept their cool when we broke the glass of one of the terrace doors ... So many thanks et on reviendra.
