A lovely holiday home

A lovely place to stay as a family. The house was in good order on our arrival and the lady who greeted us was very friendly although her English was not good.
The facilities are good and the pool is bigger than it looks in the picture - probably about 10m long. The gate to the fully enclosed pool does close securely keeping little ones out. Great view from the terrace and the pool.
The owner was very helpful when we contacted her and all was as described.
One thing I would say is that for light sleepers, ear plugs would be useful as 3 of the 4 bedrooms are at one end of the house which is near a pond containing some frogs that croaked until about midnight when we stayed.
There is a steep driveway up to the villa and the road down to Vence is quite steep so wouldn't recommend walking to anyone who is a unsteady on their feet. We loved the walk though and found it ok with a pushchair (easier on the way down than on the way up!).
Vence is lovely. I lost my purse in the town and someone handed it into the police station with all the contents. Lovely market in the square and plenty of good natured activity from the restaurants and bars at night. We found the restaurants nicer in the old part of the town.
Overall, we really liked it and hope to return again soon.
