Memorable Holiday!
Our reservation with Barb, was not without it’s issues last year when we booked .. as we were not sure we would make it to France on Amber plus?
Barb was very understanding as we were not sure if we may have to cancel due to more UK and French restrictions.
So pleased we made it to beautiful Cagnes sur Mer and Barb’s apartment. Barb’s friend collected us from Gare Cagnes sur Mer which was helpful and returned us at the end of our stay.
As we asked for this service we paid for the return fare and really appreciated the help. Thank you.
The view from the terrace was amazing especially the sunrise at 6.45 and made all our efforts to get here worth it.
The apartment was well equipped. The Queen bed was very comfortable. The weather was a complete change to constant rain in the UK… we started to unwind immediately. Constant sunshine!
The Navette bus below the apartment ran from 10.00 until 18.00 free of charge and we used this to go to Carrefour City for our food shopping. The swimming pool and gardens are kept in great condition and the life guard is very strict about pool restrictions which was very reassuring.
We felt safe within the complex as all the entrance gates needed a key fob.
The beaches were not too busy for August and we did not mind the stone beach ( just remember the beach shoes).
We found the prices in the restaurants very reasonable and we enjoyed the food in the Lebanon restaurant underneath the apartment. Very friendly proprietors.
It could get noisy from our terrace as customers enjoyed themselves but we had double glazed windows.
We visited the Hippodrome race course 5 minutes away for a Special event and enjoyed the atmosphere.
Entry 5 euros or €2.50 for over 60’s. Book the restaurants in advance.. We booked The Paddock with a great view in the restaurant and €30 each for the help yourself (volonte) buffet. It was delicious and great value.
We won a few races too. Have to wear masks and show your Covid health pass.
Be aware that it is quite a walk to the race course once your inside the grounds if you do not have a car.
We booked an Uber to collect us when the event ended at 22.00 (€9) as it was too far to walk back.
We found the beach clubs reasonably priced too including lunch and the transats and parasol.
Barb communicated well with any issues we had and was very helpful.
We will return as soon as we can.. we had a great holiday. Thanks Barb.
