About this villa rental

Set in garden full of old olive and specimen trees, this lovely old house is an easy stroll into the heart of historic Vence with all its treasures. It is a quick 6 mile drive to the beach at Cagnes, and Nice is only 20 mins away, both have lovely proms. Villa Paradou is set in a gated domaine and has full use of the communal pools, gardens and play areas, in addition to its own secluded 16m long pool. It has English Satellite TV + DVD and stereo equipment. The house is approached via an electronic gate into the domaine. It has a very large private parking area. The house is entered through a carved wooden front door which opens into an impressive hallway with its Italian chandelier. The kitchen and living room lead off from this: another hallway leads to the main bedroom and bathroom and the guest loo. The staircase twists away up to the first floor where there are 2 further charming bedrooms and a landing that leads through to the second bathroom and the 4th bedroom.

The house and location were exactly as we had hoped, and the weather in Provence was perfect. The house was very clean and tidy, and also very comfortable. We had been given good clear instructions about how to find it, and Francoise (the representative of the owners) was there to meet us. We enjoyed the pool and the garden every day. It was very pet friendly. The location was also very peaceful and quiet. I mention the following things only so that the owners are aware. They are small things and IN NO WAY spoiled our holiday. The curtain track in the downstairs bedroom came off the wall early on, and was not fixed though Francoise sent someone to look at it. There is a pane of glass missing in the kitchen window: Francoise did not know about it but thought the owners did. The upstairs loo caused a little concern, and Francoise sent a plumber quickly who found a small blockage in the garden: the owner was informed and we explained that it was not a problem. The DVD player did not work, and the owner immediately arranged for a new DVD player which worked perfectly: thank you. The smoke alarm outside the downstairs bedroom went off early one morning for no apparent reason: it didn't happen again. A light bulb in the tall wicker lamp in the sitting room exploded on 20 Sept: no obvious reason and no damage. We replaced it with a bulb from another lamp.We all enjoyed our family holiday in Lou Paradou 100% and would happily return.

Lovely, characterful, and well equipped old house. Lots of comfortable and beautiful places to relax, inside and outside the house. We enjoyed the pool, the garden, the walk into Vence, and the wine left for our arrival! Really charming! Local tips: had a very special dinner at La Table du Cantemerle, which is very nearby, and a lovely lunch at Cote Jardin in Vence. We also walked up to the Source of the Riou, which was a hairy drive to get to the parking, but a beautiful spot. We came to Vence to see the Chapelle Matisse, which we were able to walk to, and was worth the trek across the valley.

The property is wonderful - very comfortable, interesting, and spacious, and very French (ie chic, lovely pictures of the cote d'azur, outside tables). It also has lovely additions including a decent sized private pool, a table tennis table, plenty of parking. Two other points: the location is superb, within easy reach of Vence, St Paul de Vence, Nice and the cote d'azur; and the contact with owners David and Elisabeth, and their housekeeper Francoise, was easy and welcoming. Thank you so much!

Lou Paradou-fulfilled all our dreams, aspirations, and plans during our 3 - week stay in August 2024. This is a special and spacious place for family and friends to gather and enjoy the beauty of the Villa and the privacy the surrounding grounds afford,. It is very well equipped with everything you need and has a beautiful full size pool that adults and children relished. This is our third visit to Vence over the years and has become a real favourite with family and friends-particularly Lou Paradou! There is much to do and see and is such an inspirational place to live, eat out and relax in the beauty of the whole area. Many thanks to Elizabeth and David for being excellent hosts both before and during our stay. With best wishes from Macfarlane family.

We had a fabulous time exploring this part of France, and that was definitely helped by having this wonderful home to base ourselves from. The region is just glorious with lots to do including gully bashing/rock caving, visiting medieval villages, history and of course lots of opportunities to swim. The house itself is very comfortable, is obviously well loved and has a lovely French charm to it. The pool was excellent and we spent hours in there. Its a great size and perfect for larger groups too. We walked into Vence every day for breakfast and dinner (don't miss the almond craqalin - its incredible!) and although it is up a slight hill, its a super easy walk - absolutely no issue for younger kids too. The hosts were so kind, attentive and really helpful. They went out of their way to provide us with information about local bus routes and things to do, and were just all round lovely - thank you for helping make our stay really easy and that extra bit special. Le Clerc Supermarket was a 4 min drive away, and had everything you needed for self catering purposes. There is also a petrol station 1 min away. We would absolutely recommend this place, and would love to come back ourselves one day when we next visit this amazing part of France.

The location was very good and allowed walking into the town quite easily and also to access other villages was straight forward and in easy reach. The setting of the property was ideal for a family, with the play area and pools for the children and adults alike and lots of space for family barbeques and eating.

Delightful to have our own pool and we got better at the uphill walk to the town by the end of our stay, enjoying dinners outside and bargaining at the Tuesday clothes market.

We had a simply fantastic time in this utterly charming villa! The property is maintained to a very high standard, with a fully equipped kitchen and extensive swimming pool. It's close proximity ( easy and pleasant walk) to Vence and other surrounding areas make this house a real gem! Clearly a property much loved by it's owners, whom we found almost as charming as their villa! We really do hope to return. Thank you again.

We absolutely loved our stay in Vence. The house was spacious and cool, even in the summer heat. The pool especially was a highlight of our trip for my teenage kids. The town of Vence was a short walk away for morning coffee and croissants, exploring the food markets and eating great meals at any of the restaurants. We hope we can visit again someday.

Beautiful home with a wonderful pool and great living spaces. A very nice walk into Vence from the property. It was a great place for us to spend a short week.

We had a relaxing stay at the Old Stone Bastide. The house is large and had plenty of rooms for us and our two kids. We were even able to use the pool a little in late Oct. The house is located on a grounds of a large condo complex, but we never noticed it. The furnishings are quaint and as the owner describes. Their property manager was very helpful too. Beautiful garden and patio to sip coffee or wine on.
