La Pokade
We are a family of 6 adults who stayed at La Pokade from 22-29July 2023. The villa was well situated for our needs, close to bars, restaurants and the beach (need a car) but quiet and private when at the villa. The villa has a lovely well maintained pool. The outside kitchen/ dining area was well used. The bedrooms were clean and well appointed and the kitchen had everything that you could need for a short stay. The villa itself has a good level of comfort, but also keeping the feeling of a family home. There are two points that I wish to make. One is on the VRBO website which states arrival from 5pm, with no cut off time. I have spoken to the owner who assured me that house rule no2 states a check-in time of 5-8pm. I haven’t been able to find that, but it did require me to negotiate with the owner prior to arrival as we were well outside that time frame. We did come to an amicable agreement. The other point is that many of the plates and mugs were chipped. I flagged that to the owner who was happy to sort it out on his next visit to the property. As a family we enjoyed our experience at La Pokade very much. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful.

very confort house for family vacations
great house - not luxury but very comfortable. The bathrooms were new but the bath towels really small. AC in the whole house working fantastically in the very hot weather. The floor and windows were pretty dirty though... well equipped kitchen. Great pool with sun through the whole day 4 good sized rooms - the fifth is absolutely impossible to sleep due the terrible mould /damp smell. It is also located besides the BBQ and doesn't have AC To pay attention: - the daughter of the manager, who can do the cleaning, has only Saturday morning available. She wanted to charge 100 euros just to change the sheets and towels...no real cleaning included - The management is kind of tricky as the manager hardly spoke English. - the neighbours houses are very close, cross your fingers nobody is loud (we had to listen to some loud music) - rent a small car as the access to the house is though a lane with traffic from both sides and they don't drive slowly

sehr erholsame Ferien
Wir waren zwei Familien mit insgesamt fünf Kinder. Das Haus bietet viel Platz. Die Zimmer im oberen Stock sind geräumig, Wohnzimmer und Küche im unteren Stock sind gross. Der Pool ist ausgezeichnet, da er auch für Erwachsene tief genug ist. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Mit dem Auto ist man in max. 10 Minuten am Meer. Es gibt im Umkreis von 5 - 10 Minuten zahlreiche und verschiedenste Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Vermieter sind hilfsbereit und unkompliziert und reagieren schnell, wenn man Fragen oder Anliegen hat. Wir konnten unsere Ferien in vollen Zügen geniessen.

Lovely house near Cannes!!
We loved the house. It was very comfortable and spacious for 4 adults and 5 children. The house was clean and it is very well equipped, the kitchen has all you need to make yourself at home. The two grills made barbequeing easy for two families. The pool, the house and the gardens are regularly maintained. The kids and us loved the pool and playing games in the garden. Thanks to Michel and his sister for being helpful, friendly and always available. Overall, we loved our stay at Michel's house.

About the host

Hosted by Michel Pommier

Host profile image
Although living in the US since 1979, I always wanted to go back to the Riviera, in general, and to the village of Golfe-Juan, in particular, where I spent endless summers with my family when I was growing up in France. Since 2006, I am enjoying La Pokade 4 to 5 months a year. Between sailing, skiing, hiking and golfing, little time remains to relax but reliving his childhood 'souvenirs' is fun for a happy retiree.

Why they chose this property

An opportunity stroke in 2005 when my cousin sent me pictures of a provencal house nested on the hills above Golfe in a peaceful and very private setting but only minutes away from the buzz of Antibes, Juan les Pins and Cannes. Keeping the old walls and the original character of the property, I had the house entirely rebuilt, an infinity pool was added and a new soothing garden was created. Since then friends and family are joining me every year when I am down there. A sure sign that they love the place!

What makes this property unique

The seclusion that La Pokade offers after a day at the beach, golfing, hiking or visiting the surroundings, is a gem. Noise is reduced to hearing the crickets or the birds singing, or the wind in the 'pins parasols'. The property offers total privacy and allows real rest. Kids have a safe environment to play and families can gather on the terraces around the pool or in the summer kitchen for memorable moments.
