Long autumn break

The location of the house and view from the terrace are very very good. The house was renovated 25 years ago and would require a full upgrade of bathrooms and kitchen, floors and furniture . We would book again if this was done. The house has just 4 bedrooms. If the house was full there would not be enough room to eat at a table. I would not recommend the property for families with young children or older guests. The house is on 6 levels with a narrow staircase - the kitchen is on the top floor The owner and manager were easy to contact and during our stay they attempted to get contractors to do urgent repairs - in France this seems difficult We hope that the house will be upgraded, painted etc for future guests We used an underground car park, a ten minute walk from the house. It is possible to unload luggage quickly and double park about 50 m away from the house but the gendarmes are very tight on this and you could be towed away

Charming home with stunning views of the Riviera

We loved our stay at Amelie and Bernard’s house. Hosts were very responsive and looked after us well. We had this beautiful house to ourselves. The rooms have big windows, are light and airy. Some of the rooms have a stunning view of the sea. The kitchen is well equipped, Wi-Fi was great but the real specialness of this place lies in its roof Terrace and top floor. We had the best family mornings and evenings there. The perfect space for breakfasts, board games and evening meals/drinks. We had a wonderful time!

Completed misrepresented on VRBO

The property is not as represented on VRBO and communicating with the owner and housekeeper is less than responsive. The living conditions are very poor. There is a significant odor of mold and sewer smell that permeates the entire flat. The bathrooms are not clean and have mold and mildew, broken tiles. The kitchen is very small and not more than one person can be in at a time. There is no large dining table as depicted on VRBO and the day bed that they claim is a double bed is not feasible for sleeping. There are steep stairs throughout the property some without railings. The linens and towels are thin, old and ragged. The only area a few people group can gather is the top level where there are very small chairs and uncomfortable benches, adjacent to this 'sitting' area there is a deck with a view the only nice feature of the property. There were ants and bugs inside this room the kitchen and bedrooms. The upstairs sliding door to the deck cannot be closed properly. we were advised to spray for bugs and keep windows open for the odors, even with these the smells did not improve. Due to the odors we had become physically ill and had no choice but to to leave the property 5 days early due to these unlivable conditions. When we advised the owner, we were told there were no problems and no refunds. I would NOT recommend this property nor the unpleasant demeanor of the owner and unresponsive housekeeper. The location and view are the only attractions. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Emplacement de rêve

Excellente situation par rapport à la gare, aux bus, au marché, au supermarché ! Tout sur 5 niveaux mais ce n’est pas désagréable ! Une terrasse idyllique au dernier étage ! L’annonce d’abritel commence par « maison récemment rénovée »… c’est sans doute un tantinet surfait… mais notre groupe réduit à 6 était au large et nous avons bien profité de notre séjour !

Incredible spot

Prime location! It's overlooking the bay, near beaches and it's in the best part of old town near the market. The views are magical and it's well-equipped for anything you need (the AC was great on really hot days). We didn't mind the many stairs (it's a skinny house across five levels). The only thing that bothered us was the neighbors occasionally talking right outside until late into the night. But all in all a truly incredible stay. We would highly recommend!

Wonderful location; Delightful trip!

The charming seaside villa was perfect for our visit to Antibes. Upon arrival we were greeted graciously by Bernard and his lovely wife Irene and their very helpful housekeeper Amelle who made sure we had everything we needed. The house had many bedrooms although we only used two for our small group, one overlooking the sea and the other overlooking a quiet rue pieton with lovely gardens. The interior stairs were no problem for us as we love to hike. While we ate nearly all of our meals outside, the kitchen was very well equipped with clean dishes, plates, glasses, serving ware, utensils and a dishwasher. We also enjoyed the bottle of rose Bernard left for us! The piece de resistance of course was the rooftop terrace with an amazing view of the sea. In the morning over croissants and berries from the marche we watched the sailing school parade out to sea and at night over wine and cheese the shimmering lights of the coast. The villa is located in an ideal spot right near the sea and the marche so walking everywhere could not have been easier. We look forward to returning next summer!

On behalf of every one of us (9 ladies) staying in your apartment in September, I would once again say that it was a magnificent week we had. The view from the terrace and the close distance to town and beaches was perfect for us Can definitely recommend this appartment.

So much more than a room with a view!

First off, everyone in our family was so taken with this home and had such an entertaining, restful stay that we are already talking about a return. The location of this authentic old French home is superb for a true Mediterranean village experience. As other reviewers have stated, the home is situated centrally in "Vieil Antibes" close to all necessities, beaches, train, bus, etc. so I will focus my review on things that have not been mentioned. We were a group of 7 adults ranging in age from 24 to 59. There was plenty of room for all and we did not feel crowded. The owners have provided all necessary amenities. The beds/bedding are comfortable – the usual European arrangement of twin beds that can be converted to a large double bed in each room (one room with bunk beds), plenty of space for everyone to have privacy. Although the house is narrow the ceilings are quite high and the rooms feel spacious. Thick, newer windows kept the house quiet for sleeping and the central AC worked very well. We stayed in August and AC was needed. The nicely equipped kitchen has 2 refrigerators, a cook top, dishwasher and a microwave/convection type oven. The 3 bathrooms are adequate and updated relative to the age of the house. Other pluses: wifi, mp3 docking stereo, flat screen TV, a combo washer/drier that works well for small loads of laundry. Best of all, we spent many happy hours on the high open patio feasting on food and wine purchased on our morning visits to the provincial market that is only a few steps from the front door. Gazing at that incredible view, telling tales and philosophizing until the wee hours - what better way could exist to spend a holiday. We highly recommend this home if you have always dreamt of staying in such a comfortable, simple, romantic place with its winding, 5 story staircase, terracotta tiled floors, shuttered windows overlooking the cobblestone passages and azure sea. I would only hesitate to recommend this home to those who could not manage climbing the stairs or to families with very young children that might fall on them. Regarding Antibes: yes, it is a bit filled with tourists at high season, but you can find great restaurants and shops off the beaten path. Not to be missed: Picasso museum, beaches, coffee (espresso, cafe au lait, etc.) and croissants at one of the many cafes in town, local wine and foie gras. Also, bring good shoes for walking because the cobblestone streets can be pretty tough on the feet.
