A Wonderful Adventure
We are two retired ladies who loved our visit to "The Cave" and the Cote d'Azur. Spending a few days in St. Jeannet was a fun way to experience life in a small mountain village. During the day we visited Antibes, Nice, Eze, Villefranche and Monaco. It was wonderful to return in the evening to this peaceful village with beautiful views.

We were finishing up a 2 week trip in France and we came across this vrbo listing which brought us to St Jeannet for a couple nights…and we’re so glad it did. One bus ride from Nice and we were looking at the most magnificent view. We loved our stay in this charming cave that met all of our needs. Communication was also very quick. Thank you!

Lovely apartment perched on a hillside
This cozy, nicely equipped apartment has wonderful views over the Mediterranean. The town of Saint-Jeannet was a delight (although the uphill drive was exciting). Daniel and Sylvia were helpful and responsive hosts.

J'ai tellement apprécié de séjourner dans l'appartement de Daniel et Sylvia que j'ai prolongé ma réservation pour un mois supplémentaire. Que ce soit pour une visite de quelques jours ou de plusieurs mois, cet endroit est un bijou. La beauté de l'endroit est exceptionnelle, ce village est un bonheur au quotidien et le confort et la sécurité du logement sont grands. Il est douillet, bien équipé et charmant. La famille vivant ailleurs la plupart du temps, le bruit de l'étage est peu fréquent. Vivre dans ce village est vraiment un privilège et séjourner dans cet appartement est une excellente façon d'expérimenter ses multiples plaisirs. I have enjoyed so much staying in Daniel and Sylvia's apartment that I extended my reservation for another month. Whether you want to visit for a few days or several months, this place is a gem. The beauty of the location is exceptional, this village a joy every day and the comfort and safety of the accommodation is great. It is cozy, well-equipped and charming. With the family living elsewhere for most of the time, the noise from upstairs is infrequent. Living in this village is really a privilege and staying at this apartment is a great way to experience its multiple pleasures.

Charming place I highly recommend
This place is a little gem in a gorgeous old French village that has everything you need for a rejuvenating vacation or a longer term stay. Sylvia is a fantastic artist with great taste that makes this apartment quaint. She and Daniel are excellent hosts - very responsive and super friendly making sure you will have what you need. The village itself is extraordinary - constructed centuries ago on a mountainside with narrow stone streets (there are parking lots where it is best to leave your car, particularly as you don't need it here), little shops to buy fresh food you can cook in the included kitchen and an excellent restaurant (La Table des Baoas). Saint Jeannet is a very special place to visit with fantastic days trips in every direction. And this apartment with its charm and phenomenal views is a great base for one person or a couple to enjoy it optimally. The one and only potential downside is that if you visit during the summer months when there are tourists and more foot traffic, there is some noise as the windows are on a little square where people sometimes congregate and often pass.

UNBELIEVABLE STAY😊😊 !!!
We really don't even know where to start with our stay in beautiful stunning "Gods work of art" Saint-Jeanette, France!!! We have to say 1st and foremost that Daniel and Sylvia were 2 of the nicest people we have ever met in our lives..along with Sylvia's beautiful mother. "The Cave" as they call it is adorable and has everything you could need for a wonderful trip in the awesome hills above Nice .. which by the way is on the Mediterranean Sea BUT you can see from your windows in "The Cave" .. how awesome is that?? We could go on and on AND ON about our trip to Saint-Jeanett France to "The Cave" from Arizona USA FOR 2 MONTHS ..yes lucky us 2 months😎 .. but I'm going to stop and just say it will be a trip of your lifetime to get to stay here and get to enjoy this lifestyle and have Daniel and Sylvia as your hosts .. you will never find better!! We will be back!! We highly recommend for numerous reasons! .. be safe & stay well with the Corona19 virus in the world at the time I am writing this .. it is pretty bad, we got home to USA in the nick of time .. God bless you all ..THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME PLACE AND VRBO you get 10 👍's up ♥️ ♥️

Rustic hideaway in beautiful village.
My husband and I chose this location because it was close to Nice and St. Paul de Vence. One of southern France’s villages perchés, St. Jeannet was charming and the accommodations were quaint. Our first drive up the narrow and winding roads to the village was a little intimidating, but Daniel came and got us in the village to show us the best way to navigate the area. The view from the apartment, which is a converted wine cellar, was majestic. If you are looking for a tranquil, magical place away from mobs of tourists, this is it.

Paradise in the Inland Riviera
This little gem was a real highlight of a great 3 week visit to Provence and the Ligurian coast! The local flavor, perfect location and breathtaking views were as good as it gets! Daniel and Sylvia have created a wonderful and inviting retreat in a classic French village. The local bakery is great for morning and lunch foods and there is a great restaurant with terrific views in village center. Daniel had some great recommendations for daytrips. We could have spent much more than three days here, but what a way to end the trip of a lifetime!

Unique rental in beautiful hill town
We enjoyed our stay in Saint Jeannet which is a charming medieval town. The view form the kitchen window all the way down to the Mediterranean was memorable. The house is unique in that it was once a wine cellar for the bigger house and you see evidence of the bedrock within the house. It is well equipped. It made a great home base to visit many of the adjacent hill towns. We also took day trips to Nice, the Picasso museum in the Antibbes, to Eze and spent one night in Avignon. The weather in April was cool and pleasant and we had sunny days with a few rainy nights. Saint Jeannet has a little grocery story, a couple of bakeries, a butcher, and a bar/restaurant with a stunning view. Saint Jeannet has a dramatic location with the craggy Baou towering over the town. For those unfamiliar with small hill towns, please rent the smallest car you can, as driving within the narrow streets of the old town is a challenge. Park in the public lots at the edge of town. There is parking near the house, but while we were there construction work on the access road made it not easy to use.

Charming appartment
We stayed a week in this quirky and tastefully furnished apartment in the beautiful village of St Jeannet. The view is spectacular from the apartment looking out over the valley towards Antibes. The property used to be an old cellar (cave) and Daniel and Sylvia have kept some of the original features giving it a sense of history. We had everything we wanted and Daniel welcomed us on our first night there. It is ideally located for walking in the hills but also for driving to the many beautiful hilltop villages in the area and of course not far from Nice and Antibes.

Lovely apartment and wonderful location
My boyfriend and I stayed for two weeks here and absolutely loved it. The property is in the mountains in a lovely village called Saint-Jeannet. The views from the property are wonderful and you can see Nice and Antibes in the distance. The location is perfect with so many nearby towns and villages to visit. Of course the beach is also a must in addition to walking in the nearby mountains, with breathtaking views. The apartment is very pretty and cosy and had everything you may need. The owners are extremely nice and welcoming. We only came across this property and location by chance on this website and we are so glad we did!!!

A little piece of heaven
It is difficult to put into words a description of this home and the village. Words such as amazing, peaceful, cozy, panoramic views, friendly, caring, hospitality plus, delightful cuisine, come to mind. The apartment or "Cave," as its called, is homey and the interior design makes the visitor feel at home and welcomed. Everything we needed was right there! The owners are terrific people and welcomed us into their garden which is behind the "Cave." Sylvia is truly a great gardener and interior designer. Daniel is always smiling and interested in so many subjects. The apartment is clean, well appointed and comfortable. The previous reviews describe accurately the apartment and the owners. We liked sitting in the kitchen with the window open enjoying the view and the breeze. We loved sitting on the small terrace enjoying a morning cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a light meal and the fabulous view. The people in town were wonderful, always greeting us with a bon jour or when we were eating on the terrace with a bon appetit!. The hiking trail to the top of the baou is interesting and there was a slackline festival going on, watching the participants walking the highlines was fun. Within walking distance (3 minutes) the old village of Saint Jeannet has a boulangerie (where you can also buy the local wine), a small boucherie/traiteur where we purchased a couple of light meals, a few restaurants and an ATM. A short drive down the hill there are two more boulangeries and a U-Express grocery store and another Intermarche grocery store a short drive down to La Gaude. (Jim's Iphone slipped out his pocket in the UExpress and when we called it from Nancy's the manager answered, it had been turned in. ) We highly recommend le Cave! Jim and Nancy

Lovely stay
Me and my husband were here for three days with our daughter (3 years old) and we had a lovely time in the cosy, little house and town. Maybe not the most child friendly (small children - but we knew that) and still our daughter had a very good time and played around in front of the house. Next time we will probably go by car :) thank you a lot David and Sylvia for your kind communication and making us feel very welcome.

Le gîte de Sylvia et Daniel Pilat est charmant, décoré avec goût, dans un village vivant et un environnement très pittoresque. Si on est sensible aux endroits qui ont du caractère, on ne peut qu’être sous l’emprise de St Jeannet et son baou. Et à la région environnante.

Tout a été, dans ce voyage, une chronologie parfaite, de notre arrivée (explications, conseils de randonnées, serviettes et oreillers en abondance) à notre départ, avec une visite de courtoisie chez les propriétaires, qui ont toujours été d'une réactivité et d'une bienveillance chaleureuses. La deco a mis en majeur cette ancienne cave restaurée. Le village est très joli, à quelques kilomètres de saint Paul de vence, et voisin de Nice.
