Opio Resort

The home exceeded expectations. It was very comfortable and we lacked nothing. The pool looked lovely but we were there in winter so could dream of how much fun it must be in summer. This home really does acommodate a large group in style. Thank you for a great stay.

Fantastic La Farigoulette

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week at La Farigoulette. First and foremost, the villa is fantastic and the hosts have thought of and provided everything we could possibly have wanted and wished for. The villa is well maintained and a ‘home from home’ making it easy to settle in immediately and enjoy our holiday. Ideally located a short drive between Opio and Valbonne, all local amenities are easily accessible should you choose to leave the villa….which we rarely did.

Excellent place for bigger group

We spent an excellent week at Le Farigoulette house with our complete family. We were 13 persons, ages between 2 and 70. There was plenty of room and enough privacy for all of us. The swimming pool was great especially for the 6 to 9 year old ones but everyone used it. The pool kitchen with fridge and chargoal barbecue was actively used. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Nice house with a central location at the end of a steep road.

Great Stay

We had a magnificent stay at this property. We were a group of 8 with teens, young adults and over 50’s. Fun was had by all with the table tennis, swimming pool and table football. The property was of a scale that we all had on our space and then could get together in the communal areas for meals and games. I would highly recommend and we hope to be back.

Fabulous large family holiday

We were a group of two families with young adult children and their friends plus a dog. The house was perfect for our needs ... plenty of bedrooms and space for all. The pool was a big hit, with ample sunbeds for everyone. We had BBQs outside the kitchen, sitting at the wonderful large table, looking out over the terraces and pool lit at night. This ice machine was a big hit, plus A/C in all the bedrooms. The local area was beautiful, we particularly enjoyed Valbonne. There are plenty of places to eat out and we even had Uber Eats delivery pizza one night! We did day trips to Cannes and Monaco as well. John and Rachael were really helpful and made the whole process of booking, providing information, plus arrival and departure really easy. I would recommend and love to go back!

What a place

This was such a treat - far beyond our usual holiday means and we loved every second. The house is very homely with very relaxed charm - and the pool area is fab. There were nine of us, including five kids and teenagers and there was so much space for everyone. Outside dining was great, sat round the huge oval stone table as the sun went down. Very close to classic Provence towns - but you will need a car to get your croissants - or be prepared to cycle up a very steep hill each morning. We did - which helped justify the cheese and wine consumption. Oh, and John couldn’t have been more helpful.

Nos plus belles vacances en famille

Merci John d'avoir mis à disposition ta villa. Ce que nous avons le plus aimé, la piscine avec le bar, les transats, les parasols, les barbecues, la stéréo Sonos dans le salon, le frigo avec ses glaçons, la table de ping pong et le kicker, et la superbe table extérieure de 14 personnes avec son immense barbecue. Pas de bruit, très relaxant, on était déconnecté de la réalité. Et aussi merci d'avoir accepter notre chien. Frédéric

Most lovely stay

John and Rachel are wonderful hosts, they gave us immediately a home feeling. The communication was perfect, before arriving we could arrange a number of things (heating the swimmingpool). Even during our stay John kept asking if everything was okay! The house is beautiful, big and offers all the needed facilities. We loved staying in the garden and being surrounded by olive trees and lavendel plants. The swimmingpool is large and has its own kitchen corner, we loved it! We sincerely advice large families seeking for nature, tranquility, space and professionalism of the hosts to book this villa! You won't regret it. By the way if you decide to stay go to restaurant Trattoria Quattro (+/-15min drive), it is delicious! John and Rachel thank you for the lovely and relaxing week at your villa! See you next year!

Excellente semaine à Opio

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine entre amis et avec enfants dans cette propriété. La maison est très bien située en étant proche d'Antibes, de Cannes et aussi de petits villages aux alentours (Biot, Gourdon...). Beaucoup de choses à faire dans les alentours. La maison est très spacieuse, même pour 12 personnes, pratique avec la cuisine qui donne sur le jardin, bien équipée (ex: climatisation, 2 frigos, 2 BBQ, ...) et la literie est de bonne qualité. La piscine est grande et avec des transats et une cuisine d'été. Enfin notre hôte John s'est montré très disponible et à l'écoute, avant la réservation pour répondre à nos questions et aussi pendant le séjour pour s'assurer que le séjour se déroule pour le mieux.

Juste splendide!

Nous avons résidé une semaine dans cette magnifique maison. Nous étions 3 couples avec au total 6 enfants en bas âge. 3 étages qui permet d'avoir un peu d'intimité et un isolement sonore, pas mal pour les siestes des petits. Une piscine chauffée (avertir le propriétaire avant), et tout cela accompagné d'un BBQ plancha, lavabo et frigo juste incroyable pour maintenir tout au frais et des chaises longues un peu partout! Et au niveau de la cuisine de la maison, un autre BBQ et frigo à l'américaine juste parfait! Et tout cela, avec des propriétaires hyper disponibles, super arrangeants et très accueillants. En résumé super endroit calme, sans bruit au alentour !

In één woord geweldig!

Wij verbleven hier met oud & nieuw, vanwege een werk-vakantie. Wij sliepen met 8 volwassenen en 6 kinderen in het mooie huis. Ondanks dat wij met 14 personen waren hadden wij alle ruimte in het huis, en kon iedereen zich vermaken zonder dat we elkaar in de weg liepen. Wij hebben ontzettend veel geluk gehad met het weer, en hebben dan ook elke middag genoten, op het balkon, in de tuin, en beneden aan het zwembad. Het huis in uitgerust met een uitgebreid assortiment aan keukengerei, een fijne oven, en een goede barbecue, waarvan we dan ook bijna elke dag gebruikt van hebben gemaakt! De bedden zijn fijn en de verwarming in het huis was ook echt goed, ondanks de koude nachten. De eigenaren van het huis zijn zeer aardige mensen, en wij hopen dan ook dat wij ze nog een keer zullen ontmoeten, omdat wij graag nog een keer in dit huis zouden willen verblijven! Nogmaals bedankt John and family! Hope to see you again, in the summer, so we can use the swimming pool!

Perfect home for a Family trip to South of France

This is a fabulous home with many great features. Spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped for relaxing, dining and entertainment. Fantastic pool and BBQ area. It had everything we needed to make this a very special family vacation. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by John

I have carefully restored and maintained this home for the past 18 years, making updates each year to improve the comfort of my guests. I enjoy welcoming families and friends from many countries who spend memorable holidays here and return year after year. I look forward to welcoming you and your group in the near future.

Why they chose this property

Lovingly renovated to incorporate modern luxury and French country charm the villa offers a private haven to all who stay here. Each year we update and add features to improve the property. On the inside we have added air conditioning to all rooms to provide a cool environment when it gets hot. We have upgraded the downstairs rooms, and added a beautiful grand piano. In the gardens we have added new plantings for more colour, shaped trees and added new terraced walls in the old style. We now offer a superb barbecue and eating area just outside the back door with a huge oval poured-concrete table and massive Australian built-in (gas) bbq. The pool house/bar/kitchen--which houses a second (charcoal) bbq was also recently updated with beautiful moroccan tiles, new counter tops and appliances.
Recently, we added a beautiful sweeping artisanal stonework driveway and pool heating that you can request at a modest charge.
The entertainment room on the Garden Level got a make-over which includes a brand new state-of-the-art 75-inch TV and a new wood-burning stove.
The villa aside, this is an incredible corner of the earth. Simple, quiet village life takes place at our doorstep, but within a few minutes, you can find yourself at the heart of the French Riviera: Monaco, Cannes, Nice, Antibes and Italy.

What makes this property unique

Aside from space, space, and more space what we think makes this villa special is the modern luxury coupled with old-world charm. You will not tire of waking up in the morning, throwing open the shutters to the beautiful view of the forest and the sound of the birds singing. Comfortable seating inside or outside will ensure you relax fully before and after all your fun and interesting activities.
