From the moment we arrived, our hosts Denis & Gigi, welcomed us warmly, helped us with our luggage, and made us feel at home immediately. The apartment/villa was immaculate, the pool clean, (including pool towels), and we had everything we needed for our stay. Our hosts were available if needed, but this was not necessary, as everything was in perfect order. The location is excellent and all facilities were just a short distance, including a huge supermarket. Charming hosts, perfect accommodation, gorgeous settings - all making for a wonderful holiday. Valerie & Paul

When we arrived Denis and Gigi greeted us, helped us, showed us around the apartment, pool, etc. It was a great welcome! They had left us some welcome gifts of fruit wine and beer too! Denis was very helpful with advice on local resources too. Thank you Denis and Gigi! The Hope Family

Great villa; lovely people. We had the best of family times. Thanks for everything and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a base in the Côte d’Azur.

Beautiful Place to stay at vacation. There is nothing zu Miss and we dont want to go home. Thank you again for be a part of this Lovely Place

We had such a great time staying with Denis and Gigi. They were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The villa is so beautiful and within walking/biking distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and beaches. The apartment and pool are private from the rest of the villa, but Denis and Gigi were very responsive and helpful when we needed something. We will definitely try to return soon.

Beautiful apartment fully kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing break. Outside BBQ, Sun loungers, dining table and chairs under a wonderful canopy. Beautiful gardens and terraces overlooking the bay of Cannes. The pool is fabulous and there is an outside gym. Superb quality bedding and beds and lots of fluffy towels. This is a beautiful property with amazing hosts. We've stayed here twice and just booked for 2023.

Excellent

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne, erholsame und ruhige Woche bei Denis und Gigi. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr gepflegt. Wir wurden mit Obst, Wasser & einer Flasche Wein begrüßt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Sehr schön entsprach dem Inserat sehr ruhig gelegen

Thank you again for the lovely vacation in your beautyful house. There is nothing we missed. Gigi and Denis are one of the People you meet and love :-)

Wir haben diese Ferienwohnung zur Corona-Zeit gebucht und genutzt. Es ist die einzige Ferienwohnung auf dem Grundstück. Die Vermieter wohnen auch mit im Haus, den vorderen Garten und den Pool hatten wir aber zur alleinigen Nutzung, was uns wichtig war, um Kontakte zu vermeiden. Bei traumhaftem Wetter haben wir den wunderbaren Pool intensiv genutzt. :-) Eine flachere Zone für Kinder und eine 2m tiefe Zone: echt klasse! Die Wohnung ist groß genug für 4 Personen und ist tip top ausgestattet und gepflegt! Super sauber und alles da, was man braucht. (Selbst Spülmittel, Klopapier etc., was man sonst meist selbst kaufen muss.) Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und kommunikativ. Wir haben viele brauchbare Tipps für Ausflüge erhalten. Also ein rundum gelungener und erholsamer Urlaub! Vielen Dank Denis und Ginette!!!

Cet appartement est un rez-de-chaussée de maison complètement indépendant, calme, très propre et plus que bien équipé. Les propriétaires charmants et très discrets, mettent tout à disposition pour un séjour réussi. Sa situation permet de rayonner dans toute la région tout en étant au calme. Nous avons passé un séjour "aux petits oignons".

Thank you Gigi and Denis again for this great vacation. Its always like coming home.

Nous avons passé les vacances les plus reposantes dans ce bel établissement. Tout était impeccable et élégant, et les chambres sont spacieuses et meublées avec goût. Nos hôtes, Denis & Gigi, nous ont rencontrés à notre arrivée et nous ont fait visiter notre hébergement et nos jardins. C'était agréable de recevoir un pack de bienvenue de fruits frais, de thé, de café et de vin - rester dans cette villa était une véritable expérience chez soi. La propriété dispose d'une immense terrasse enveloppante avec barbecue et est fantastique pour les repas à l'extérieur. Il y a une grande piscine extérieure abritée avec des chaises longues et une salle de sport en plein air ainsi que l'utilisation de vélos pour sortir et explorer la région. Le lit est le plus confortable dans lequel nous ayons jamais dormi et la vue sur la baie de Cannes depuis les terrasses est spectaculaire. Cette propriété est à seulement quelques minutes à pied du supermarché local et à quelques minutes en voiture de la ville de Mandelieu-La-Napoule où il y a une sélection d'excellents restaurants et magasins. Nous sommes enthousiasmés par la perspective de nouvelles vacances en 2021! Denis & Gigi, merci d'être des hôtes aussi merveilleux! Pam & Kelson, Royaume-Uni.

Superbe appartement entretenu et d’une propreté irréprochable. Piscine, jardin, pétanque, vélo rien ne manque. C’est juste le top Accueil très très chaleureux de Gigi et Dénis D’une très grande gentillesse Encore merci à eux Patrizia

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine chez Denis et Gigi. Ce sont des personnes formidables, au petit soin avec nous et de très bon conseil pour visiter la région. L'appartement est très propre et bien équipé (clim, literie neuve...) ainsi que la piscine. Merci encore à vous 2 pour votre gentillesse. A bientôt peut-être.

Nous avons passées une très bonne semaine de vacances Les propriétaires sont très accueillants gentils, très agréables. La maison est impeccable,très propre et très bien équipées. La cadre est magnifique, calme. Les propriétaires sont très discret est ils sont également à votre écoute C'est avec un grand plaisir que nous reviendrons une prochaine fois. Merci 😊

Nous avons passés de magnifiques vacances dans la maison de Gigi et Denis, des hôtes attentifs aux moindres détails et discrets! Tout était fait pour que l'on s'y sente bien, et les équipements sont vraiment complets. Bref, des vacances 5*. Merci

We had a perfect holiday with our two teenage boys here in July 2020. The garden and the pool (28°C when we were there) are more than well kept and the flat is tastefully renewed and furnished and complete with everything required, including enough towels even for the pool. Gigi and Denis are perfect hosts, abailable and helpful when required and gave all requested advice. We definitely recommend this flat and plan to come back. My wife adds, that it was the cleanest apartment we have ever rented.

Très bien.

We have just returned from a most enjoyable 9 night stay at this fabulous house. On arrival we were surprised by how big the house and gardens were. The house is immaculate and very spacious and modern with stunning views. The owners gave us a thorough tour and had even provided lots of special touches such as wine beer and water in the fridge, a fruit basket and toiletries in the bathroom and shower pool as well as plenty of toilet rolls.(something you don't usually get with holiday rentals) We had a lovely collection of bath, hand and face towels in different colours per person so we knew who's towel was who's and a heated towel rail. The bath room and shower was lovely and also had a washer drier which we used. The bedrooms had extremely comfy beds good storage and gorgeous views. The lounge and kitchen had everything you may need plus extras such as washing up liquid, cling film, seasoning etc. The outdoor area is huge. Lots of areas to sit at a table or relax on loungers and appreciate the views. We enjoyed a bbq one evening and used the gorgeous pool everyday to cool off and relax and have fun. We often enjoyed a game of petanque and the boys enjoyed borrowing the bikes to explore the area and the gym to practice chin ups. Although the owners live upstairs you feel you have privacy and have exclusive use of pool and your very own private outdoor space feeling you are the only ones there. However Denis is available for advice should you need it and was particularly kind and helpful in an emergency offering us excellent assistance and support which proved most helpful to have him nearby. As for the area we feel it is a great location as Mandelieu is a quieter area than others and has some of the best beaches and stunning scenery close by. You can visit alot of places from here. We visited Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, St Tropez are just some. There really is lots to see and do with plenty of boat trips too. We had a hire car which we would recommend to be able to explore the area with ease and it would of been a long walk to the restaurants . Which is where the bikes would be useful and there is a good train line along the front.. We would highly recommend a stay here. You won't be disappointed.. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Denis and Gigi for looking after us so well.

Das Objekt war genau so, wie wir es erhofft hatten und die Eigentümer herzlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Ein Aufenthalt kann hier vollends empfohlen werden und es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Viel mehr geht nicht.

Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub. In der Wohnung war alles vorhanden, was man braucht und sogar noch mehr. Die Vermieter Gigi und Denis sind sehr nett und helfen immer. Auch die Tipps, bezüglich Restaurants oder die Anreise nach Cannes mit dem Schiff, haben wir gerne angenommen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

What a wonderful home and town and host(s). We had such an amazing stay with Denis and Gigi, I cannot say enough positive things. We are very seasoned travelers and have rented many homes through booking sites but this was the best experience we have ever encountered. Their communication prior to our arrival was timely and informative. The information listed on VRBO is very accurate. The home was well stocked (dishwashing soaps, body soaps, laundry soap, olive oil, vinegar, a few necessary spices, salt and pepper, toilet paper, & paper towels). This level of attention to detail and comfort is so appreciated, as we have stayed in other homes where we had to bring ALL of these simple necessities. Plenty of cooking utensils and a cooktop just large enough to feed our traveling crowd of three. (I am not very tech savvy, therefore I could not figure out how to work the mirco convection oven). The beds were incredibly comfortable (best sleep I have had in years!) Having access to a washing machine was very helpful, and a drying rack was provided on our lovely private patio. The pool was incredibly clean and the perfect temperature. We also hired their son for two early morning personal training sessions on their private fitness area. Highly recommend this activity! Denis also offered his bicycles and had lots of recommendations for nearby fitness activities (hikes, etc) We did not rent a car, and took a taxi from the train station in Cannes ($40). We then relied on Uber to transport us to the beaches and Cannes but there are several bus options (free and low cost) within a very short walk. The little town is very close by, with a boulangerie, produce market with fresh rotisserie chicken and a very nice staff. There is also an overwhelmingly large hypermarket with everything you can imagine within a 10 minute walk. We took advantage of the nearby private beaches for SUP and chaise/umbrella rentals, which was a very short drive from the house ($8 each way AVG) The area of Mandelieu-Napoule waterfront has many restaurants of varying costs, some better than other's (Denis and Gigi have a little list prepared in the apartment). Everything was simply perfect and we were so sad to leave. We will return. Merci!

We've just spent the most amazing 10 days at Denis and Gigi's. The apartment is well equipped, beautifully clean and close to amazing beaches, great restaurants and local shops. The pool was a massive hit with our 3 year old daughter, it was always so clean and a big sun trap. The outdoor gym was a brilliant bonus too! Denis and Gigi were really accommodating and friendly and had lots of great tips on what to do. We can't rate it highly enough, we will definitely return!

We are so happy to found this lovely place. Everything is perfect. Thank you Gigi and Denis, we‘ll se us next year ❤️

Wir waren für 10 Tage in der Wohnung und haben wirklich nichts zu bemängeln. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und gepflegt und der Außenbereich mit Terrasse, Garten und Pool erfüllt alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Wir würden immer wieder kommen. Die Gastgeber sind top und helfen bei allen Fragen bezüglich Umgebung und Ausflugstipps.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli. Les propriétaires sont charmants et bienveillants. Ils sont discrets mais toujours présents pour s'assurer de notre bien-être et pour nous conseiller sur les visites, les restaurants, les commerces, ... Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la location lumineuse, très bien équipée : rien ne manque, bref, une prestation haut de gamme. La villa sur les hauteurs est au calme de l'agitation de la côte, avec une belle vue sur la baie de Cannes. Pour de prochaines vacances dans la région, nous y retournerions sans hésiter.

Just spent a very enjoyable two weeks at this location. Denis and GiGi are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble and they are very discrete but around if you need them.The house is very well appointed and has the best mattress ever in the bedroom. The shower is lovely and warm.The pool area is a sun trap and you can spend a fantastic peaceful day there.The town is only 20 mnutes away by foot and has some good restaurants. A huge hypermarket is only mnutes away and if you can’t get it here then France doesn't sell it.I cannot recommend this property highly enough, perfection.

We stayed for 9 nights at Mandelieu La Napoule in early September. The apartment is newly refurbished to a high standard and very well equipped with everything you could possibly want. The immediate area is quiet and residential. There is a bakery and a large supermarket in easy walking distance, with the harbour at La Napoule about a mile away - easy walk or cycle and a great place to eat out. The pool is the cleanest we have ever seen, not a leaf or an insect in sight and with its own shower. Denis and Gigi were charming hosts, and had recommendations for things to do in the area. They were around, but at a discrete distance, so we enjoyed total privacy during our stay. Highly recommended!

We spent 20 nights at Denis’ & Gigi’s beautiful house. It was perfect for our four person family. Kids loved the house, the garden and especially the pool. The apartment’s floor plan is really functional and all rooms were just renovated. The only thing which was not optimal was the kitchen. It was a bit too small for a family (considering the visit length). There was a stove with two disks but not enough space to use a boiler and a pan at the same time. The freezer also was a bit tiny. The stove didn’t contain the actual oven at all but we baked pizza by microwave grill which worked surprisingly well. As a whole, this was absolutely a five star experience. Denis and Gigi are very discreet and helpful hosts who do everything to make your stay perfect. They keep very good care of the property and you can ask advices and tips about everything related to surrounding area. You can park your car in the premises. The pool and the garden are dedicated to you only. You have a balcony, a pergola with dining area, a terrace with table, a hammock, pool chairs, beautiful views to Cannes and mountains. Can you ask more? Bal-Lea really exceeded my expectations in many levels. I can recommend it for everyone and hope that I can return there myself as well.
