As a family, the pool was the best thing all holiday. The house is very nice but for the kids the pool was the major attraction! The view from the living room and pool is spectacular and really worth having! Itâs a great location with Villefranche on one side and Beaulieu sur Mer on the other with easy access to St Jean Cap Ferrat.
The property was better than expected. It was perfect for our adult family of 8! We enjoyed the great beds, air conditioned bedrooms, outdoor eating area, lovely pool, and well stocked kitchen and bbq! We would come back again for sure!!
We were 6 adults and two children, the house was perfect for families with children, amazing views, easy walking access to town and beach by steps at end of the road. We had some difficulty finding the house initially and Olivier was available and very helpful. Anne the housekeeper was available to introduce us to the house and we had her cook an amazing dinner for my husbandâs 75th birthday. If renting a car I would advise the smaller option due to the roads in the area and driveway/parking at villa. The town had many wonderful options for buying pastries, fish and meat!
The pool the kitchen the bedrooms and. Athrooms all surpassed expectations.
The walk to the beach is longer than ideal but fine. The walk home is very steep.
Peaceful and relaxing property with amazing views!
Highly recommend this property. Check in was seamless and housekeeper helped us stock the refrigerator with essentials prior to arrival. The family room and kitchen were very comfortable with breathtaking views. The first level down has three bedrooms. One bedroom with an on-suite bath and the other two bedrooms share the other bath on that level. The third level down is a bedroom with two twin beds and an on-suite bath. This room is best suited for kids or young adults. Laundry is also on this level. The property is well lit and gated which added to a sense of complete security. Iâll also say that it was the most peaceful and quiet property we have ever stayed at.
I highly recommend a car as the property is hard to find by Uber/Taxi. The driveway is steep but easy to navigate. We had a SUV (BMW X5) and despite the size we had no issues. The walk to town is also difficult so having a car is a big help. The town is very peaceful and quant. The owner was also very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.
With some work, this Beaulieu house will merit 5 stars
The views from the living room of the Mediterranean are breathtaking and the house is bright and modern. The pool is nice - it's long and narrow and suitable primarily for laps. The location in Beaulieu is very central and a good base of operations for day trips to many great places. You're also very close to the towns of Beaulieu and Cap Ferrat by car.
We gave an overall rating of five stars predicated on Olivier's improving the property for future guests, which he promised to do. The listing stated that the house is fully air conditioned but it turned out that only the bedrooms had air conditioning, which made hanging out uncomfortable in the summer. He also needs to install screens on many of the upstairs doors and windows to block out mosquitos. Also, what was advertised as a 4th bedroom was really a repurposed basement room and small bath with mildew issues.
And it was represented that the house is a "5 minute walk to town and beach" when in fact the house is situated in the heights section of Beaulieu and the walk is very steep into town, and not an easy walk up the steps, especially at night. It's really a 15 minute walk to Beaulieu town. Having a car is essential as you can't carry heavy bags while climbing those stairs. The owner can't change the house's location but he certainly can fix those other issues, which will make this house a true 5 star property.
6 of us came from Europe and the US to spend a relaxing week together and this home delivered that beautifully. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful, clean home at a great location. Olivier was very responsive and the whole process was straightforward and simple. A+ experience.
The home is beautiful and well maintained. The swimming pool is a marvelous extra. View is fantastic. Owner's recommendations extremely useful and helpful. You do need younger legs for the hillsides here. But we wouldn't hesitate to come back again.
From the moment we walked in we knew we had made the right property choice. The photos on the listing in our view didn't show the property to its full potential, so we were blown away upon arrival. There are full glass doors which slide into walls all around, giving magnificent light and views of the sea and mountains from all angles. It's designed and decorated to the highest of standards; furnishings, cleanliness, beds, pillows etc.
The open plan ground floor where you walk in has the kitchen, dining and sitting area - all large and spacious. There's also a toilet on this floor. The photos don't show this, but you walk out from this floor directly to the pool and garden patio area which is stunning - the views just can't be beaten. We spent many evenings relaxing outside, cooking on the gas BBQ and swimming in the lit pool which we had heated.
Downstairs are three great size bedrooms; one ensuite and the other bathroom between the other two rooms. All the rooms have glorious views and great furniture and furnishings. There is another lower ground floor with a bedroom and smaller ensuite bedroom.
The owners Jean-Pierre and Suzy are WONDERFUL - helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Jean-Pierre even offered to drive to the town to show us where the supermarket was. They met us upon arrival to show us around - they're certainly very proud of the villa and quite rightly so. They live just next door so are on hand to help with any questions or problems, although we had none during our stay. Although they live next door, they have a huge plot of land so you can't even see their home through the trees so can easily never see anyone until you visit the town.
Beaulieu is a nice 15 minute walk down (and then up) a steep hill and stairs, but it's all fully lit so no problems for us. The small harbour and town are lovely to walk around, and you can also walk the coastal path to the next town - remember your camera for the lovely views.
We hired a car, but you could easily get a train from the airport to the local station (via Nice) - it's not a long way but the train does stop at all the stops so can take a while. You'd then need to get a cab up/down the hill with your luggage. We'd certainly do this next time to save on the cost of a hire car.
We only left the villa twice in two weeks to go to the supermarket, and then once more for a trip to Monaco which is just 12 minutes away on the train. We'll certainly be back to visit again - thanks for having us.
