The villa is situated in a gated community so feels very safe and secluded, the main gates are operated electrically which is great, although the gates to the property itself are manual. The villa is a short drive from Antibes town so I would say a car is essential. There is a HUGE Carrefour supermarket about 5 minutes from the property with everything you could need and more.
The appliances were all in good condition although the freezer was very iced up and could have done with defrosting, still more than useable for the few lollies etc we wanted to store there. Crockery and cutlery etc all good and lots of utensils, e.g., pans, graters, corkscrews etc.
The pool area was lovely with comfortable sun loungers for 6 and plenty of space to enjoy the sunshine. It was very secluded and not at all overlooked. The pool isn't heated which had been a concern of ours but it was absolutely fine; lovely to cool off from the sunny French heat. The pool was cleaned each week we were there. Pool towels were supplied although these had seen better days; some were fraying badly at the edges or stained and none were big enough to cover the full sun lounger, There was a useful pergoda which we used to lie under to read if we wanted a break from the sun. The dining area was shaded which again was great over the lunchtime period. There was a Weber gas barbecue although we didn't use it,
The kitchen, living room and bedrooms all lead out onto the terrace/pool area and all have electric shutters which are useful to keep the rooms cool throughout the day and secure at night. There was air conditioning to all rooms apart from the bathrooms. There was plenty of storage/space in all 3 bedrooms, the master has the bonus of a small dressing room which was more than enough for us. The other 2 twin bedrooms are identical to one another and both had large sliding door wardrobes - plenty of hangers in all 3 rooms. There was no mirrors in any of the bedrooms which would have been useful.
There is a huge basement garage with a table tennis table and washing machine and ironing board, as we stayed 2 weeks we used the washing machine to wash the towels, pool towels and bedding as it wasn't changed at the end of the first week.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. The Cote D'Azur is a hew area to us and there was plenty to see and do in the area.
