Nice house with great views and nice pool -- note no WiFi
The property is located in a gated community up in the mountains. Very safe and private, amazing views, nice and clean pool, strategic location within driving distance to countless attractions, but keep in mind there's nothing to see or do in the close vicinity and it's a 15 minute drive to next supermarket. The house is spacious but grounds were not as clean and well kept as shown in the picture, outdoor cushions were medium to heavily soiled and could have use a wash. We were surprised to find out there's no WiFi even though it was shown as available when we booked (listing has now been updated) and this caused a major headache due to work obligations. Owner told us to use cellular data and tried to find a hotspot, which was unsuccessful. There was a very noticeable smell of heating oil around the house and especially in the lower floor (bedroom); we notified the owner and no action was taken during our stay. The bedrooms were odd and none felt particularly comfortable. While there are a definitely a lot of appliances and "equipment" in and around the house, a lot of it is not functional, old/and or broken. Similarly, lots of cookware but much of it unusable. Overall we had a good time but and probably would not return. Considering the premium price we paid, there are better values to be found in the area.

Hidden gem, stunning great house and area
Wonderful place, very beautiful with a Great Lake close by and aproachable host with time spent checking in. Just far enough away but still easily accessible from the busier coast line, local fabulous restaurants, walking and vineyards. The house, garden and pool itself quite magical. We would rebook.

Eyrie in the hills
Just back from two glorious weeks at this stunning house about 15-20 minutes from Mandelieu and Theoule sur mer. The house is beautiful - equipped with everything you could need and beautifully furnished. The pool area, the day bed, the outdoor terraces all face what is truly the most stupendous view imaginable - a hazy shimmer first thing in the morning and bathed in pink light in the evening, it was hard to drag yourself away to explore the surrounding region. And what a region! From the heavenly beach at L'Aiguille in Theoule to cocktails in Cannes; Michelin-starred meals in Mougins; quintessential Provencal towns such as Valbonne in the hinterland behind; an embarrassment of art (see Fondation Maeght and the Chapelle Sainte Rosaline); walks in the Esterel; visits to wineries, there is literally something for everyone and every interest can be fulfilled within a 30-40 minute radius of the house. And then you have to leave time for floating in the pool, reading on the day bed or just looking at the view. We have stayed in houses the length and breadth of Provence over a period of about 15 years but this location (and this view) are unsurpassed. Highly recommended.

Wonderful property with amazing views!
We spent a week at Austin's house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect base to explore the French Riviera. The house has all the modern facilities you would expect from a luxury holiday home. It is set on 3 levels and each of our family had their own favourite place to find peace and quiet, though it was a bit of a rush to get to the "Day Bed" first. We spent a lot of our time on the deck and also on the balcony. The pool allowed us to cool off during the heat of the day and then relax in the peace and quiet of the hills. Every room and every seat is built around the magnificent view over Cannes and you can't help but be in awe every time you look. This is one of those places that you will never forget!

Tolle Lage
Das sehr schöne Haus liegt in einer "Gated Community" am Rande eines Naturschutzgebietes. Uns hat besonders der Pool-/Außenbereich auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen mit einem herrlichen Blick auf das Estrel Gebiet und die Küste gefallen. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt um Städte und Museen zu besuchen oder für Wanderungen und Rennrad/Mountainbike-Runden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lichter im Haus sind zwar geschmackvoll aber im Wohn- und Schlafzimmer im Grunde nicht hell genug, um abends zu lesen. Aber das ist nur ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag ... Der Kontakt zur Gastgeberin Pia war unkompliziert und sehr angenehm.

Excellent Value for Money in Secluded Gated Community
This is the second time we have stayed in this property. The owner is excellent and responsive if there are any problems. It is a perfect property for a family with teen children with plenty of space and areas for relaxation. The private secluded park is fantastic for access to the Massif de l'Esterel for hikes, including Mont Vinaigre. Highly recommended.

Perfect location and house
The property is perfectly situated in the Massif de l'Esterel with amazing views of the massif as well as the bay of Cannes. Its magical garden, wonderful pool were perfect for a family of 5 with three older kids (10/13/15). However, the amount of stairs would not be appropriate for older people or families with very young children. The gated park is very quiet and secure with fast access to supermarkets in Napoule and the beaches of the Corniche de l'Esterel. The Mont Vinaigre is within hiking distance from the property. The house itself is well kitted out and was perfect for our standards.

The view is really stunning
Wonderful stay at the house. Practically lived outside and on the different balconies/ patios. Plenty of room. Close to Cannes, Nice and Théoule-sur-mer for shopping and drinks/ dinner.
