Look no more! The villa is not only beautiful but it is an j to the norm. The whole apartment has been completely renovated recently, offering bright freshly painted rooms, full of light and provencal colour. We can offer you not only excellent comfort, security and privacy, but can share our lovely gardens and terraces which are covered with ancient, gnarled olive trees, mediterranean flowers and orange and lemon trees. Personally, you would have access to a beautiful private garden with fabulous views. In the winter months you can access a sparkling heated pool under a blue sky. It is heated between 1 April and 1st June and between 20th September and the end of October. Temperatures are so good in this part of France all year round that you can dine out at midday under a warm sun with light clothing. We look forward to welcoming you into our little bit of paradise which has been ours for 24 years since leaving the cold, damp weather in England. To summarise: \* The apartment is in fact, half of the villa and there are no other units for rental on the property. It is completely private. \* Spacious architect designed apartment of 100m2 facing south and all rooms on one level \* it is the east wing of the stone built villa facing south. \* private balconies face south, overlooking the Var Valley and its winding river, to the sea \* air conditioned main bedroom with top quality new mattresses and bedding. Colonial fans elsewhere. All principal rooms are air conditioned. French windows open onto a private balcony overlooking the hills, river and the sea beyond. \* Luxury Egyptian cotton linen and towels including pool towels. Fluffy bathrobes and free toiletries. All baby linen included, plus cot and high chair. \* full library of books for all tastes. Games. \* free Wifi with router so that you can still use your internet around the pool. \* satelite TV with English and French programs on flat plasma screen. BBC 1 and 2, ITV, sports included. Apple Box for films and more choices of programmes. (Bring your Apple card and password to access extra programmes). \* High, spacious, beamed sitting room offering cool rooms in the summer heat, with ancient glazed terracotta tiled floors and colonial ceiling fans. Reversible air conditioning/heating wall unit. Comfortable seating. Large french windows to private balcony with armchairs and table, overlooking the whole of the valley 250m below. A romantic setting in the evening to share a cool cocktail. Side window overlooking the ancient, sprawling olive tree and private terrace with your own lemon tree! Comfortable seating, with round dining table and chairs, separate from the open plan kitchen. \* original paintings by resident artist \* fully equipped American kitchen with every facility such a microwave, large fridge freezer, oven, electric hob, kettle, blender, coffee machine, iron, toaster, baby bottle warmer, music, CD base. Door leading to a beautiful private terrace with BBQ, table and chairs and bougainvillea climbing the surrounding walls. Stunning views of the lights of Nice below. Floodlit lighting under the ancient olive trees. \* private terraces with olive and lemon trees are accessible from either the kitchen, sitting room, or main bedroom. Pick your own seasonal fruit. \* Private BBQ on apartment's terrace or principle BBQ and pizza oven adjacent to the pool. Large sun umbrellas and outdoor furniture, both on the private terrace and also adjacent to the heated pool 8x5 metres, and 2.5m deep at one end and 1.50m at shallow end. Summer kitchen with long table and chairs, set into the natural rocks. Spotlighting under all the trees, around the pool and even in the pool for midnight bathing creating a romantic atmosphere. (Please note- the pool is not heated in the summer months of June, July and August. The hot summer sun does all the work!) Lots of sun loungers and shade under the olive trees. Large bar, fridge and BBQ with chimney. Bar stools. \* complete serenity- very private gardens, not overlooked. \* bougainvillea, jasmine, fig, lemon,orange, and olive trees; terraces covered with dry stone walls and flowers. You can pick your own fruit in season. \* privacy and security with electric gates to secure parking within the grounds. The apartment is on a lower level than the principal entrance to the villa, as the land is terraced, but with only 11 natural stone steps for easy access to your private terrace and entrance to the apartment. There is a secure handrail to help you. \* designed for the discerning traveller seeking more than simply a holiday home. it was created for peace and comfort; a place of serenity to relax and savour the beauty of its surroundings to escape the frantic pace on the seafront in the summer months. Also, you are central for all touring either in the mountains or on the coastline. That is why we chose to live here. All major towns on the Cote d’Azur are nearby offering many choices of great restaurants, and not all are hugely expensive, especially in the surrounding villages nestling in the Alpes. We can advise you. For art lovers, you are spoilt for choice. Many of the most famous artists such as Renoir, Matisse, Chagall, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Cezanne, spent time here in our part of France. You will see their work everywhere and recognise the scenes they painted. Also, renowned walking trails cross through Gattieres such as the GR51. Cyclists would love the routes frequented by many French clubs. The famous Iron Man even passes by our doorstep! Also the Tour de France. The scenery is really spectacular. \* Children, babies, young or old will find everything here at Le Contadour. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing all this with you.

They are the ultimate hosts making sure we had everything we needed including recommendations for places to visit and great restaurants. Whatever the plan was for the day we always ended up back at the pool lounging peacefully under the olive tree. We ate breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the valley and sometimes we stayed in evenings and cooked as all of the kitchen utensils and bbqs provided.

The home is tucked away in a quiet hillside village, offering the kind of peace and authenticity you dream of when visiting the South of France. Yet, it’s ideally located for day trips to stunning destinations like Nice, Antibes, St. Paul de Vence, Monaco, and Grasse—all reachable by car.From the moment we arrived, Liz and Quentin made us feel completely welcome. Their warmth, hospitality, and great recommendations (every one of them spot on!) made a real difference in our experience. They were always available when needed but never intrusive—just genuinely kind people with a wonderful sense of adventure. We especially loved spending time with them and their sweet cat, Boots.The villa itself is charming and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space for our family of four adults. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, and the outdoor space is a dream—perfect for lounging by the pool, grilling, or simply enjoying a quiet moment under the olive tree. We even made lemonade with the fresh lemons right outside the door!After a day of exploring the region, it was bliss to return to such a comfortable and serene space. This was more than just a rental—it felt like home.

Nizza, Cannes, Antibes, Vence, Monaco und Supermarkt, usw. sind gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Der Pool bietet nach Ausflügen eine gute Abkühlung und der Grill bzw. die Terrassen laden zum gemütlichen Ausklang des Tages ein. Parkplatz, Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine sind vorhanden. Die Gastgeber sind wahnsinnig herzlich und zu jederzeit diskret. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf ein Wiedersehen! sind sehr herzlich und gleichzeitig diskret. ##### Carolin J.

This is a gem of an apartment and we feel very lucky to have found it. Liz and Quentin are wonderful hosts, they gave us a warm welcome and made our stay extremely comfortable. The amenities are excellent, the apartment had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, the heated pool was a huge hit with our children and having use of the garden terrace and bbq was a real bonus. The area has magnificent scenery and the views from the apartment are really impressive. Gatierres is very pretty and only a short walk away. The location meant we could easily explore a number of beautiful and interesting places including Nice, Vence, Tourrettes, Antibes, Cannes and Monaco. I would defintely recommend to anyone. A huge thank you to Liz and Quentin for your hospitality, it was lovely to meet you both xx ##### Dawn P.

Een adembenemend uitzicht vanaf dat je opstaat tot wanneer het donker is en de lichtjes van Nice allemaal branden. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. De attentie van de gastheren en de gastheren zelf geven je een hartverwarmend welkom bij aankomst! Quinten en Liz zijn beiden super vriendelijk en heel behulpzaam. Ze geven je een warm thuis gevoel! Ideale basis tussen Nice en Monaco, dus genoeg te bezoeken voor jong en oud. Als het ons lukt, komen wij graag terug volgend jaar! ##### Joke P.

Jullie huis is prachtig en werkelijk alles is aanwezig dus als gast ontbreekt het je aan niets. Tijdens onze laatste borrel vroeg je ons of wij nog iets willen toevoegen aan de inventaris maar we zouden het echt niet weten want echt alles is aanwezig. Jullie gastvrijheid is enorm en jullie vriendelijkheid en interesse in de gasten is hartverwarmend. We hebben genoten van onze gezellige borrels op jullie terras en de vele verhalen die ons de hele wereld overnamen. De omgeving was bekend bij ons echter de Côte d’Azur beneemt ons iedere keer weer de adem. Monaco, Menton, Ventimiglia, San Remo, Antibes, Juan les Pins, Nice, St. Paul en Vence liggen allen binnen bereik en zijn makkelijk te bereiken met de auto. Er is zo veel te zien dat je je als toerist hier niet hoeft te vervelen. Als we toch een kleine tip mogen geven dan zouden wij adviseren om een lamp op het balkon te maken zodat je buiten kunt zitten en bijvoorbeeld een spelletje kunt doen. Wij hebben het zij-terras eigenlijk niet gebruikt want we vonden het uitzicht vanaf het balkon zo prachtig. Dank jullie voor de heerlijke weken in Le Contadour. Heel veel succes met de verhuur van jullie kleine stukje paradijs op aarde. Lieve groeten Frank en Mirjam Stephanus ##### Mirjam S.

Das Vermieter-Paar ist aufmerksam ohne aufdringlich zu sein und sehr nett! Innen ist es eingerichtet mit Bildern, Büchern und Deko - eine professionelle, aber keine sterile Ferienwohnung. Das Kinderzimmer ist eine kleinere Kammer mit einem Fensterchen, das als einziges ein Fliegengitter hat. Eines der Kinderbetten ist etwas kürzer (170 oder 180cm). Dusche, Bad und Betten sind komfortabel, viel Platz in Schränken und Kommoden. Draußen gibt es eine sehr gute Ausstattung mit Liegen, Grills, Sitzplätzen an alten Bäumen auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Die Küche ist ein Schwachpunkt, etwas ungepflegt und minderwertig ausgestattet. Es ist eine ruhige Gegend, aber draußen hört man aus dem Tal ein stetes Rauschen vom Verkehr und bisweilen hört man Musik o.ä. aus Häusern an den Berghängen. Im Ort (650 m) gibt es einen erstklassigen Bäcker (das Baguette!), einen Supermarkt und weitere Geschäfte. Für uns war die Lage (oder vielleicht die ganze Cote d'Azur) allerdings nicht gut wegen der zeitraubenden Fahrerei zu Küstenorten und Dörfern. Eine Fahrt zwischen dem Haus und der Altstadt von Nizza dauert nach unserer Erfahrung eine knappe Stunde oder länger. Wir sind auch mal das P+R-Parkhaus der Bahnlinie 1 angefahren (Parcazur Henri Sappia). Das ging nicht schneller, hat aber die Nerven sehr geschont. Das ist der Haken an der ansonsten tollen Ferienwohnung! ##### Thilo J.

The charming little town is in close walking distance. It has a little supermarket, a bakery, a restaurant and a take away pizza-place. The pool is great, the view is great and the hosts are both discreet, warm and welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. ##### André B.

De kinderen, en wij zelf ook, hebben ons prima vermaakt in de omgeving maar zeker ook an de rust van het zwembad. Aan faciliteiten geen gebrek en de vriendelijke eigenaren Quinten en Liz mogen zeker ook niet onvermeld blijven. Zeker een aanrader! ##### Erno P.

We loved staying in Liz and Quentins apartment. It was very comfortable and cosy with incredible views. The pool and barbeque area were perfect. The location is ideal for exploring the core d'azur. Our hosts are very welcoming, friendly and a real pleasure to meet and spend some time with. One of out best holidays ever and we will definitely visit again, we cant speak more highly of the property or of the hosts. ##### Jason E.

The property was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded all our expectations. They helped make our honeymoon special, offering excellent advice, always available and were lovely people. They made us a special dinner once they knew we had gotten married, and we all became fast friends in a very short time. We will go back again and we only wish we could more convey how wonderful they are as hosts. ##### Camille W.
