About this cottage rental
Our house is situated in the village of Le Bar sur Loup which is 10 km from Grasse, the world capital of Perfumerie. The cottage was built at the turn of the century for the agricultural workers who picked the orange blossoms, violets
and olives for the Perfume industry in Grasse. Today not much has changed and the present owners still harvest the oranges and olives ! The cottage is therefore perfect for those looking for a quiet getaway. Our one bedroom house has a
queen size bed (160 cm x 200 cm). The shower room is in Italian stone and has a walk in shower. There is an open space living area with sofa bed and a kitchen diner with a dishwasher, gas hob, combo-microwave oven and
fridge. There is a TV and Free WiFi. Outside there is a terrace with an eating area under a covered vine (perfect for picking your own grapes in season!) and a sunbed lounging area. The terrace is enclosed and completely private. From the terrace, you have direct access to the small pool (1m deep and 3.30 m x 2.50) which is a converted water tank from the 1930's. Perfect for relaxing after a day of siteseeing. Cottage guests have sole use of the pool and garden.
COVID 19 - We fully clean with high temperature steam cleaner and sanitize the work surfaces, door knobs and switches between rentals.
New improvements for 2022 ! We have a re-roofed and insulated the cottage for maximum comfort. We have also totally re-landscaped our garden to make a sunbathing area with teak sunloungers next to the pool. The area is fully private for guests use only. Check out the new photos !

Summary of reviewsThe property exceeded our expectations with clean accommodation, hospitable hosts, great views, and relaxing amenities like a plunge pool. Highly recommend for a memorable vacation.

When planning our holiday we looked for a quiet place in the mountains with an expansive view and easy access for two +70 year-olds. We wanted a clean and compact cottage and expecting high temperatures, with air conditioning and a small pool. We also needed to easily be able to get to interesting ancient villages and scenic spots. Catherine & Gilbert's cottage ticked all the boxes and proved to be the perfect place for us. We can highly recommended the cottage for any other couple with similar vacation needs. Thank you Catherine for a wonderful stay.

The property was everything that we expected and more. The hosts Cathy and Gilbert were wonderful and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. We we’re both taken I’ll during our stay and I needed to see a doctor. Cathy sprung into action and got me an appointment at the local GP, who saw me between patients (wouldn’t happen in the UK!). She translated when I was struggling to explain to the doctor and helped picking up my medication. We wouldn’t have been able to communicate otherwise.
The gite itself was everything we could have wished for. The patio area overlooking olive and orange trees towards the hills was a pleasure. Sitting having breakfast or a G&T looking across the valley with the smell of the jasmine will be something we won’t forget for a long time.
The plunge pool was a huge bonus, with the temperatures in the high 30’s it was a great place to cool off. By the pool was a great area for sunbathing, which has recently been relandscaped, a real sun trap.
There are plenty of local villages to visit nearby, Saint Paul de Vence was our favourite. We drove to Lake Cassien and spent the morning paddling around the most beautiful lake.
We would highly recommend this property and will be sure to return soon.

We are a retired Australian couple who thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Orangeraie. It was a perfect gite for us in a quiet country location but central to the surrounding area where there was so much to see. It is a well appointed gite which was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the table out the front looking over the extensive valley. It is the type of gite, with very hospitable owners living next door, where we would hope to return again some day.

The accommodation is a short drive up the mountain above the charming village of Le Bar-sur-Loup. Our hosts were very welcoming and there was a lot to like about both accommodation and location. The main downside and the reason for only giving 3 stars is that the bedroom was very damp, with moisture appearing on the recently tiled floor, making everything feel damp. Thankfully, the living room didn't suffer as much. All in all, if you like to be outdoors, there's a lot to do in the area. Cannes, Nice and Monaco are within relatively easy reach, although traffic can be slow, and we enjoyed days out at each. Gourdon is also well worth the climb if you're feeling energetic.
