An Outside, Inside.:
Although the property does not have a garden or a terrace, as this is very rare in Ste Agnes due to the nature of the village, the kitchen has large french windows which open out onto a wonderful view of the beautiful street below and over the rooftops to the mountains beyond. This enables you to enjoy the fresh, mountain air, whilst being in the cook interior of the house. What could be better? The village itself has many little squares with seating provided so that you can make the most of the wonderful vistas, the summer evenings are a wonderful time to make the most of these. It is also a very sociable occasion for the village. For those of you who enjoy eating out of doors, the three restaurants have wonderful terraces offering extraordinary views of the surrounding countryside right down to the sea and across to Italy. You can also pack up a picnic, and within only ten minutes walk of the village you can find endless perfect picnic spots to enjoy your fare.
Wonderful Winter Holidays:
Ste Agnes is a remarkable holiday destination all year round. Come from September to May and you can enjoy the peaceful countryside with its wonderfully gentle walks and its more strenuous hiking routes, the horse riding and the birdwatching. Drive down to the coast for walks along the beautifully tranquil beaches, and delicious meals eaten under the warmth of the winter sun. Visit the gardens of Menton - Serre de la Madone, Clos du Peyronnet, La Val Rahmeh, Colombieres and the Maria Serena. Drive over the Italian border to enjoy the Hanbury Gardens with their incredible vista over the Mediterranean. Make the most of the opera and concert season in Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice, with events two or three times during each week. Give yourself a very special Christmas overlooking the snow capped hills surrounding Ste Agnes; a Christmas tree and all the decorations you could possibly wish for as well as Christmas music CDs are provided to help you make it a truly memorable experience.
