Personalized and friendly welcome from the owners living in the neighboring property.

An incredible place to stay for a holiday
Our family of 6 had a great time staying at Marc and Françoise's beautiful property. We thoroughly enjoyed the stunning view, the well equipped home and the grounds. Our hosts were very helpful, friendly and kind. Right before our departure, we couldn't drive our car because we left the lights on overnight... Marc quickly found a jumper cable for us, we are very grateful for his help. We were able to make it on time to the airport. We highly recommend Marc's place for a great vacation. Thank you Marc and Françoise!

Enjoyed our stay!
Our host, Marc, could not have been more helpful. We stayed here about one week. The unit was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. While we would note that the en-suite master comes w a modest caveat in that the bedroom does have an attached room w sink and shower but the toilet is a actually across the hall. With that said, the premises were very pleasant and the view from the expansive terrace was outstanding. While the drive up to the unit was initially a bit challenging, we quickly appreciated that it became easier w each passage and we were always rewarded w more time at these lovely accommodations. Plenty to do and see in the immediate area… in sum, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot for family vacation
Marc was a fantastic host in his spacious apartment. The pictures don’t do it justice. Beds are comfortable, everything is immaculate and well stocked, the views are stunning. We used Vence as a jumping off point for day trips to Nice, Cannes, Villefranche-Sur-Mer, and Menton, all within easy driving distance, but also enjoyed time relaxing on the porch, by the pool, and playing with goats. We highly recommend Marc and his house.

Amazing place with great views and wonderful hosts.
Marc and Francoise were wonderful hosts who met us upon arrival to show us around the house and let us ask any questions about the area. The place is immaculate with three great bedrooms and a huge kitchen. The outdoor space is amazing with unbeatable views of the coast. We spent every morning and evening gazing out from the comfy chairs and recliners on the deck. It was unfortunately not quite warm enough for us to use the pool, but it looks fabulous! There is also a sweet kitty wandering around as well as some goats which add to the lovely ambiance of french hillside living. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to explore the area but wanting to escape to peace and quiet at night away from the crowds. Thanks so much!

Home Away from Home!!
After 10 glorious days in the Upper Apartment of Mas des Oliviers we wish we were back there!! Owners, Marc and Francoise, are a delightful couple and met us with us a warm and friendly welcome ... They were available at all times if we had any queries or problems. Having just arrived after a long flight from Australia we found the twisting narrow road uphill from Vence to be rather challenging but on arrival were able to relax and unwind in this tranquil setting. The panoramic view from our terrace was stunning and the house spacious clean and comfortable with every amenity. We shopped locally and sampled the delicious regional food in Vence restaurants and nearby hilltop towns. There is so much to explore and discover In the surrounding areas, visit the markets and absorb the history and art of the region. Hopefully, we can return one day for a longer stay. Merci Beaucoup Marc and Francoise. Rosemary and Phil Mostyn (Western Australia)

Lovely, relaxing and comfortable Stay!
Our family stayed in this spacious, tidy villa for a week. Everything was perfect. The pool, the balcony with views out to the sea and over the villages, the scent of lavender and Cyprus! The hosts were lovely and very helpful! Renting the upper and lower units with friends would be so much fun! I highly recommend this rental and will return one day!

Wonderful Stay!
My Family really enjoyed our stay at Mas Olivier. The owners were friendly and helpful . The property is fantastic, a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the stunning views over the countryside towards the sea. The property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. There is plenty of information available if you want to explore the region. The pool is a wonderful addition and is well maintained . Wi-Fi was good and very useful. Negatives? Not much, there wasn't much to watch on the TV, but we never really had time to watch anything ! The access to the property from the main road takes a bit of getting used to because it's very steep and winding but after a few journeys you are OK ! I can give this property a very hearty recommendation and would book it again if I was ever in this region. Marc & Françoise, thank you for your wonderful hospitality !

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in dieser tollen Ferienwohnung. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut, der Pool herrlich und der Ausblick von der Terrasse sensationell. Lediglich die Zufahrt ist mit einem großen Auto herausfordernd, aber machbar. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort unseren Urlaub verbringen.

We experienced 2 wonderful weeks in this beautiful location. The house offers everything you need. It is very clean, well equipped and has enough space for a family. The view from the terrace is something to be remembered forever. The pool is fantastic and very well taken care of. Vence is a beautiful city that offers everything you need. The way to the house is indeed very steep, but after a few times you get used to it. We can highly recommend this location and will for sure come back.

Fijn vakantiehuis met prachtig uitzicht over de Middellanse zee
We werden allervriendelijkst ontvangen door de eigenaar. Het is een ruim vakantiehuis en van alle gemakken voorzien. De eigenaren zijn heel vriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam. De woning ligt tegen een heuvel aan en de weg er naar toe is smal en erg stijl. Maar eenmaal boven geniet je van het uitzicht. Vence is het dichtstbijzijnde stadje met voorzieningen (supermarkten, horeca etc.) Nice en Monaco zijn goed aan te rijden. We hebben een fijne vakantie gehad.

Traumhafter Ausblick und himmlische Ruhe
Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen im oberen Appartement verbracht. Françoise und Marc sind sehr freundliche, sympathische und aufmerksame Gastgeber - wir haben uns sehr willkommen und umsorgt gefühlt. Das Appartement ist sehr gepflegt, bestens ausgestattet und großzügig geschnitten. Der Blick von der Terrasse und aus den vorderen Zimmern ist atemberaubend - bei Tag und bei Nacht. Die schöne Stadt Vence, die hügelige Landschaft und natürlich die Engelsbucht von Nizza bis Cannes liegen einem zu Füßen. Das Mas liegt in einem wunderschönen Garten, der sehr gut gepflegt ist und in dem sich auch viele Schmetterlinge wohlfühlen. Und der schöne Pool bietet ein erfrischendes Bad mit Blick auf das Mittelmeer. In der Umgebung gibt es sehr viele schöne Orte an der Küste aber auch in den vorderen Seealpen zu entdecken. Vence ist eine liebenswerte, sehenswerte Stadt. Es gibt viele tolle Museen wie die Fondation Maeght bei St. Paul de Vence, das Musée Léger in Biot, die Picasso Museen in Antibes und Vallauris, das Renoir Museum in Cagnes und viele mehr. Nizza ist nur einen Katzensprung entfernt. Wir waren begeistert und haben jeden Tag genossen. Die Unterkunft ist in jedem Fall zu empfehlen!

Accueil très sympathique de la part des propriétaires. Nous avons apprécié l'appartement ainsi que la piscine qui nous a permis de nous rafraîchir pendant la semaine de canicule que nous avons passé à Vence. Attention! Il n'y a pas de clim. Par grosse chaleur, il fait très chaud dans l'appartement, les ventilateurs mis à disposition sont insuffisants pour rafraîchir les chambres, c'est pourquoi nous n'avons mis que 3 étoiles à notre séjour.

Great view from Nice to Cannes
Thanks to Marc for the warm welcome with cold beer and French pastry. The House is very nice and well kept. We have never had such a good view of the riviera from our terrace. For sightseeing, we highly recommend the medieval town of Tourette-sur-Loup (Wednesday market!). We also found a nice bakery: "Le fournil vencois". The house is also great for sports-activities: Pool size is big: 12,5 x 4 m. Hiking can be done directly from the house to the nearest mountain "Baou des Blancs" with another stunning view. The house is located approx. 550 m above sea level, Vence-centre (and most bakeries) is at around 300 m. If you want to bike up to the house, you might need a mountain bike, since a road bike might not make the steep road. Cycling-Famous "Col-de-Vence" is just around the corner. At the "Plage du Loup" (25 minutes drive), dogs are tolerated, meaning there are many and police did not complain :-) Jochen & Tanja

Slidt med god udsigt
Vi boede en uge i øverste lejlighed. Rummelig lejlighed med store værelser. Uden aircon blev det bare for varmt. Vejen op er så stejl at gåture ikke var en plan så alt kræver bil. Skabe og skuffer var ikke særlig rene. Det er mere slidt end på billederne. Poolområdet var meget lidt velholdt. Alle stolene var fyldt med edderkoppespind og parasollerne var ødelagte. Selve poolen var kkke ret indbydende ig der var for lidt plads til de tre boliger der delte den. Udsigten er magisk.
