Holiday Villa Rentals in Provence, Côte d'Azur and the French Riviera South of France

Within 10 kilometres from Cannes, conveniently situated for festivals and congresses as well as being only a stone's throw from the local beaches, shops and amenities. Train and bus service along the coast means that a car is not essential. La Napoule is a buzzing community with an abundance of excellent restaurants, local weekly market and summer evening artisan markets along the marina. La Napoule has Michelin starred restaurants as well as gourmet venues to local family cuisine all at affordable prices. Boutiques and small supermarkets with fresh produce are at hand and the atmosphere is quite vibrant in high season and calmer in the Spring and Autumn.

Two bedrooms on the first floor both with single beds that can be made up as doubles if required. Main bedroom has large balcony with sea views and south-facing, ideal for evening dining to appreciate the view. Second bedroom to the rear of the property

Kitchen has also been re-fitted since purchase. Units are all white, splash-back in white and Provencal blue border. Electric hob with cooker hood over, electric oven, fridge with freezer compartment and washing machine in separate utility drying area.

There is a large shower room with vanity basin and WC on the upper floor between the two bedrooms and a separate WC on the ground floor. Shower cubicle is large and custom-made. All newly re-decorated and tiled.

Spacious living room with high ceiling, areas for sitting and relaxing (one sofa is a sofa bed but accommodation is strictly for 4 people). Dining table (extendable) and chairs to the front of the salon by the large patio windows. TV, DVD and Hi-fi.

The main advantage and key point of this property is its location being so central that makes not needing a car to go out in the evening a plus. Families with small children wanting a beach holiday it is ideal. Parking in front of the property.

Linen and towels can be hired extra to the cost at 25 euros per person per stay or people are welcome to bring their own. End of stay cleaning included in the price plus arrangement for key collection. Extra sets linen or cleaning arranged at extra cost.

All along the Cote d'Azur is the coastal train and this unfortunately runs only 50 metres from the property. The service is not continuous and does not continue through the night. However tenants must be aware that there will be passing trains albeit for only 30 seconds depending on the length of the train and they are not too frequent. As owners we would not have bought the property had we found this intrusive. The property was bought because of its location and convenience.

Those interested in drama, music and artistic presentations may appreciate the exhibitions and theatrical or musical evenings open-air at the renowned Chateau of La Napoule. This is also a venue for many weddings, celebrations and private parties as the Chateau can be hired independently.

Exterior is small. Gravelled entrance, hedged sides providing privacy and small terrace from the ground floor. Upper balcony is super, out of the main twin/double bedroom with wide sea views. Ideal for aperitifs, early breakfast and sun-downers.

There are many local golf courses in the area. Two in Mandelieu, two in Mougins, one in Opio and so on, a golfer's paradise in the sun. Ski resorts are about 90 minutes drive from La Napoule to Auron, Isola 200 and slightly further to Valberg. All possible as day trips. Ski slopes are  good, quite extensive but not for the very intense skier.

Beaches abound. Sandy beaches in La Napoule only a couple of minutes from the property. Rocky coves, shingle bays all along the Esterel coast or towards Cannes crescent-shaped sandy beaches all along the coast to the centre of Cannes where private serviced beaches are to be found.
