“We spent a lovely week in the Olive Grove Apartment and it is exactly as described and pictured. This was our first trip to the Cote d'Azur and it was just what we were hoping for- a relaxing, peaceful retreat to serve as home base with many options for day trips. The apartment is completely private with unbelievable views and the main house/pool is spectacular offering opportunities to socialize a bit. Lise & Nick are just delightful and we enjoyed their company and their suggestions very much. We took day trips to Nice, Monaco, Cannes, & Antibes and many short trips to the nearby medieval village of Valbonne (market not to be missed!). Homemade olive oils, jams, lavender sachets, fresh fruits...great memories! Highly recommend a swap with Lise & Nick!”

About our home
This little apartment is set in the grounds of an old French Farm house - with panoramic views over old olive trees to the mediterranean.
A True Sanctuary.
With most rentals / swaps you get full use of all the grounds and the pool (also access to the main house) It is some-times restricted to only a part of of the grounds, if someone has taken the main house exclusively.
We make our own jams and Olive oil
It is truly a very tranquil place. And a great place to base yourself for exploring the area. Only 30 minutes from Nice airport, lots of wonderful medieval villages with provincial markets and a large selection of restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes. 30 minutes from the beaches and the wonders of Cannes.
Two bedrooms one twin and one DBL - one bathroom with bath/shower. Living space with Kitchenette - TV for DVD's. Nice area to sit outside and take in the wonderful view of Olive trees and the Mediterranean sea.

“We have travelled quite a bit and are happy to say that Nick and Lise are the most wonderful hosts we have ever met. The Olive Grove met all our needs and our hosts also gave us full access to the main house which is insanely gorgeous! The view of the Côte d'Azur is out of this world, roses, orange blossom, olive trees and fig trees abound. Our hosts were always availible to suggest places to visit. Lise also cooks a delicious dinner if you want to stay in. At the end of our trip, we realized we had forgotten our passports at the Olive Grove and Nick and Lise drove two hours to meet us halfway for lunch and bring us our passports. We already want to go back! ”
“We had 5 days in the stunning house to Lise. She was so nice and helpful. We had a really nice diner and evening together. The location is perfect between sea and mountains. Many thanks for this unforgettable holidays. ”
“Communication très fluide avec Lise Pour des questions de couvre feu nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu nous rencontrer . Mais le séjour s'est parfaitement déroulé La villa”
“Excellent guests, particularly enjoyed the tennis match with Nick!”
