Notes: La Rivolte can be rented as a whole during the summer, but out of season, normally from September to June, we operate as a Bed & Breakfast. We now have a heated swimming pool - this will be heated from 1st April to 15th May and again from 15th September to the end of October each year (heating not needed during summer months). For guests wishing to have the pool heated before April and after October, there will be a 100 Euro supplementary charge per week's rental. Please contact us for further details and our website address. Please note that we are unable to accept bookings for weddings or large parties as the villa is situated in a quiet residential area. La Rivolte was featured in the July 2005 Conde Nast Traveler magazine and in the Financial Times magazine.

'We discovered 'La Rivolte' in cyberspace and experienced it as heaven on earth! We hope that many guests will find the way to you and have the same marvellous time as we had. You were great hosts!'Fred & Els Hulsing, Amstelveen, Holland
'Such a pretty house, such a pretty view, such lovely palm trees, such a lovely town.' Virginia Ironside
'Lived up to and exceeded expectations. Wonderfully relaxing and convivial. Cathy and Jon are excellent hosts.'
Rod and Helen Cahill
'Our stay here was perfect! The hospitality, yummy breakfasts, refreshing swimming pool and breathtaking views were more than we could imagine. We enjoyed meeeting couples from all over Europe and sharing stories at breakfast. Watching the World Cup match on the terrace with all the other guests was most fun! We will miss La Rivolte but hope to return soon to enjoy this idyllic place again. Cathy & Jon were outstanding hosts and only added more pleasure to our stay.'

Review Submitted: August 20, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This is the perfect property for a Family gatherings - one of the few that not only sleeps 16 but also seats 16 ! The rooms were attractive and clean. The kitchen was perfectly equipped. The garden was great for children to explore and adults to find a quiet corner. The location was ideal - we could walk to shops, bars and restaurants but felt secluded enough when we wanted. The Villa manager was brilliant - Cathy was on hand to make suggestions and reservations yet at the sametime did not intrude on our holiday.
I would definately recommend this villa as an ideal holiday location.

Magnificent!!

Review Submitted: March 18, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2008
Myself and my partner were reccommended by a family friend to visit La Rivolte, Grasse. We found the ease of booking and correspondance by the manager of the villa superb, and gave us real confidence as we approached our visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was delightful! We received a warm welcome, and breakfasts on the sunny terrace on a morning with views down the valley to Cannes and Nice are spectacular! This beautiful view framed by the surrounding palms, accompanied by great food, portrays a hidden jewel of the South of France.
We would reccommend L Rivolte to everyone. Grasse itself, provides numerous restaurants, gift shops and fabulous historic scenery, with Cannes and Nice only 30 minutes to 45 minutes away via train. We certainly can't wait to return.
