Fantastic location in the Alps, with easy reach to Menton, Monaco and other seaside locations. The property provides you with a well-equipped kitchen and terrace on the top level and a lovely double bedroom, living room area, shower room and utility room on the lower level, accessible either via an internal spiral staircase or through the garden. The property is pet friendly and has the garden secured which was ideal for our two dogs, giving them plenty of space to explore. We drove there from UK and despite the narrow roads in some places, our ford C max was ok to reach everywhere we wanted to go.The host, Claude, has been fantastic, providing us with useful information of how to get to the property and what we can see/do around the area. We have been fortunate enough to get to see a bit of their family history, Claude arranging with her brother-in-law to show us the family olive oil mill, where they still produce their own olive oil (Many thanks to Lucien too for showing us around and explaining us the process of producing the oil). Overall we’ve had a fantastic holiday and hopefully we will go back again in the coming years.

It has all been said here in the comments many times: a very pleasant, remote cottage in the beautiful foothills of the Alps, with lots of privacy in the middle of nature, where you only hear birds, donkeys, boars, etc, but still within half an hour of all the hustle and bustle of the Côte d'Azur and Nice, with indeed a somewhat difficult, but even with a low car still passable, access road. This combined with an exceptionally hospitable and discreet host guarantees an unforgettable stay. The photos that are currently on this site are too zoomed in to understand exactly how the cottage is put together. Therefore a brief explanation. You enter on the upper floor via a terrace with outdoor table and chairs and then stand in a spacious dining room/kitchen with all the important kitchen appliances, dining table, buffet, etc. Via a spiral staircase (or via outside because the cottage is built against a hill) you enter the (rather dark but therefore always cool) spacious bedroom with a double bed plus wardrobe and chest of drawers. Adjacent to this is the much brighter living room, with a spacious sofa bed, a sitting area, dresser, flatscreen TV and a wood stove. This room also gives access to the bathroom/toilet and a washing machine room and through two pairs of French doors to the immense garden (olive grove). In short, more beautiful and larger than the photos suggest. Of course, not very luxurious, but that is not what a nature house should be, but it is very complete.

Perfect accommodation to explore the Côte d'Azur. Everything you need is there and Claude provides you with valuable tips. Only the car should not be too big for the journey!

Wir hatten eine ruhige, erholsame Zeit an diesem wunderbaren Fleckchen Erde. Es war schön, die Grillen zirpen zu hören, die fleißigen Ameisen zu beobachten und in der Dämmerung den Wildschweinen Hallo zu sagen. Das Häuschen hat alles, was man braucht. Wir haben spannende Wanderungen in der Gegend unternommen, aber auch einfach ganz in Ruhe die beschaulichen kleinen Orte erkundet. Claude ist eine sehr angenehme Gastgeberin und hat im Vorhinein für eine reibungslose Anreise gesorgt. Vielen Dank!
