About this property

Lovely villa with dazzling sea views, swimming pool, beach 2 min, sleeps six (3 bedrooms, one with fireplace, 3 bath/shower-rooms), very large living area (living room with fireplace, dining area, library), designer kitchen, Designers Guild interior, brand new Smart TV with Ambilight and international channels, WIFI , terraces, garden, garage...
Overlooking the bay of La Figueirette and the Iles de Lerin in the bay of Cannes, the villa has recently been refurbished to the highest modern standards. With sea views from every room over the Mediterranean, including the hills of SuperCannes, the Italian Alps, and---on a very clear day---Corsica, Villa Miramar is in easy walking distance from the sandy beach (two minutes by car) and 2 beautiful 'secret' pebble bays, and only footsteps away from an entrance to the National Park de l'Esterel with fantastic hiking and mountain biking.

The property features a modern interior (Designers Guild). There is a swimming pool 9x5 meters, and terraces for sunbathing and outdoor dining, set in a terraced Mediterranean garden. The total interior area is 220 m2 or 2354 square feet. The terraced garden is 1100 m2 or 11770 square feet. There is a garage and additional parking area on the driveway.

The villa is south-east facing, at an altitude of 124 m, or 350 feet.

Le Trayas is a village built on the slopes of the Pic Martin, a hill at the foot of the Esterel mountain range. The local coast line is known as the Cote d'Or, featuring the world famous Corniche d'Or, one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world. The Cote d'Or has innumerable small sandy bays, separated by dramatic cliffs.

The Villa was chosen for the (British) Channel Four documentary 'A Place in the Sun' as one of the most beautiful properties on the Cote d'Azur.

Fantastic Holiday at Villa Miramar

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Miramar. Sasha, who met us at the villa and Michael were very helpful. The villa itself has everything we needed and the views from every room are breathtaking.

Haus in schöner Lage mit einigen Mängeln

Grundsätzlich schönes Haus in wirklich ansprechender Lage. Leider schlecht gepflegt und wenig ansprechend in der Sauberkeit. Pool völlig grün vor Algen/schmutzige Fugen und die Terrassenplanken lose bzw. Schrauben stehen hinaus. Im Haus ist nur der untere Bereich klimatisiert und der obere bei (hoch-) sommerlichen Temperaturen deshalb eher nur wenig nutzbar. Küche und Bäder haben wir erstmal selber geputzt bevor wir es nutzen konnten/wollten. Der Gasgrill konnte aufgrund von fast leerer Gasflasche nicht benutzt werden - die versprochene neue Gasflasche wurde nie gebracht. Ungeziefer und Ameisen muss man wohl in diesen Breiten irgendwie akzeptieren, aber ein Schafzimmer hat eine Aussentüre, die einen 1cm Spalt nach außen hat, da kann man sich davor quasi nicht schützen. Insgesamt eine Enttäuschung und besonders ärgerlich im Urlaub.

What a view

Just an incredible view and great location to see a lot of the area. We had a wonderful time staying here and found Pascal super responsive when we had one small issue with a stuck door on washing machine. Thank you for hosting us!

Winter Sun!

What views to wake up to! Thanks to the property being laid out for the morning sun, we could have breakfast on the terrace every morning - fantastic in February! The house is perfectly equipped, everything was clean and very comfortable! Ideally located for day trips to St Tropez or St Paul de Vence, Cannes, Nice… Mme Dupont, the concierge, is extremely helpful and ready to answer all questions. We had a wonderful week!

Sensationeller Blick aufs Meer

Tolles Haus mit sensationellem Blick aufs Meer aus allen Zimmern. Tolle Terrasse und schöner Garten. Restaurants etwas weiter zu fahren. Deshalb haben wir fast durchgehend den super Grill mit der bestmöglichen Aussicht genutzt. Besser gehts eh nicht.

Vue magnifique, villa contemporaine

Tres belle villa contemporaine, très bien agencée avec 1 salle de bain et toilette pour chaque chambre, la vue y est magnifique sur toute la baie de la Corniche d’Or, à 10 mn de Theoule sur mer. La piscine est très agréable et profonde. A recommander.

Beautiful location and quality home.

All six of us were totally satisfied. Easy to communicate with Michael and local house manager. Driving up and down the hill takes getting used to. We hope Michael is as happy with us as we are with him and his house. Best wishes.

Wonderful!

Our family of 5 (now twin 11 y/o and a 13 y/o) very much enjoyed staying in this lovely, spacious, and comfortable house during the last week of June. We loved the fabulous view of the sea from almost every room, the weather, the beautiful gardens, the well decorated interior, the library, the pool, and, the well appointed kitchen (we loved being able to cook meals with the freshest local ingredients). It is easy to see why the ancients settled here. Michael, the owner, and Sacha, the caretaker, were very nice and responsive to our needs. In addition, a very detailed instructions/information booklet and list of local restaurants is provided, which was very helpful. We tried a few of the restaurants-- the Marco Polo and Jalili B were our favorites. There were many staples in the villa when we arrived allowing us to wait until the next morning before going to the super market. Further, the washing machine and dryer worked well. Finally, we were given a bottle of champagne as a welcome gift upon arrival, which was a great way to start our week. In terms of opportunities for improvement, the only minor suggestions we have are for additional instructions about the induction stove. This was a wonderful place to stay and we hope to return soon.

Wie erhofft, die komplette Entspannung mit Blick auf das Meer.

Die Beschreibung lügt nicht, man kann von jedem Zimmer aus das Meer sehen. Und wir waren eigentlich nur draußen. Der erste Morgenkaffee auf der tollen Terrasse, dann das Frühstück mit Blick auf die funkelnde See. Mittags und abends kann durch den Dachüberstand sogar bei leichtem Regen draußen bleiben. Wir haben viel gegrillt, weil die Gastronomieauswahl vor Ort begrenzt ist (Das Jilali B können wir empfehlen, gehobene Küche, natürlich auch etwas teurer). Die Zimmer sind mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Ein englisches Arbeitszimmer, Desginermöbel und sehr kolorierte Wohn-/Schlafzimmer. WLAN mit Streaming funktioniert - evtl. muss der Empfänger ein bißchen um die Ecke in den Flur. Unser Töchterchen war frustiert, dass sie draussen kaum WLAN hatte, aber UMTS war da. Durch die Verdunklungsrollos konnte man die Schlafzimmer kühl halten. Klimaanlage haben wir nicht benutzt. Der Pool war für uns Mimosen erst zu kühl, aber durch die Sonneneinstrahlung ging es und wir jeden Tag viel drin.

A real home away from home with hosts who cannot do enough to ensure your stay goes smoothly.

We consider ourselves fortunate to have discovered this piece of paradise on the Med. It is located ideally between the larger centres of Cannes & St Tropez so it's possible to visit either by car or boat - available from the local marina. After a busy day it's possible to relax and unwind with a swim in the pool and a BBQ on the deck over looking the Med. Truely amazing to watch the large boats ply the crystal clear waters as they move up and down the coast The home is everything the pictures suggest. There is no false advertising here! What made the stay most enjoyable was the feeling of being in someone's well provisioned and cared for home. What made our week outstanding was the genuine care displayed when something was not quite right. It was dealt with and fixed without regard to cost or effort. The owners genuinely want their guests to have a great time and take pride in the home. We will be back!

Wonderful stay at amazing home!

This beautiful home was the perfect place and location for our family of 5. The views from the home were amazing as was the design and amenities. We loved the location as there is so much do do all with in an hour or so away. Michael was wonderful to work with and made everything easy for us. This is the perfect place to just stop and relax. We can't wait to return

Wonderful. We will go back.

The views are superb. The villa is 115m above sea level. The place is very quiet. You can sit in the very nice terrace and hear the silence. The house is fully renovated with wooden floor and is very well appointed. You feel that every details have been thought about from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Beds are comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much much and will happily go back.

Fabulous

The villa is amazing with the views from every room. Le Trayas is in a lovely small bay, one of the nicest spots along this bit of the coast. We visited in Febuary and it is the perfect place for out of season, on the couple of days when the weather was not great you've still got those beautiful views. Loved it.

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine en famille dans cette maison magnifique à la vue splendide. La maison est très spacieuse, bien agencée et très bien équipée. On s'y sent bien. La vue est grandiose. On ne se lasse pas de l'admirer, de jour comme de nuit. Enfin, le propriétaire est à l'écoute et très réactif pour régler les petits désagréments mêmes mineurs. Une semaine inoubliable!

Villa mit atemberaubendem Blick auf das Meer

Sehr schöne Villa mit noch viel schönerem Blick auf das Meer und die Bucht von le Trayas!!! Vermieter sehr freundlich, Anfahrtswege sehr gut beschrieben, im Haus ein "Buch" in dem alles Notwendige (Spülmaschine, TV, Herd etc.) perfekt erklärt wurde. Küche gut ausgestattet (leider nicht sehr sauber bei Anreise, sowie auch die Bäder) Leider gab es nur einen Hausschlüssel, was bei 5 Personen einfach zu wenig ist. Sehr sauberer Pool, tolle Betten...und Champagner zur Begrüßung !!!

Traumhafter Meerblick

Wir haben das Haus im Frühjahr als Paar für eine Woche gemietet und waren sehr zufrieden. Lage und Ausblick sind nur schwer zu übertreffen. Die grossen Balkone und Terassen bieten viel Raum. Auch innen fühlt man sich sehr wohl. Die Ausstattung ist überkomplett. Darüber hinaus gibt es einen gepflegten Terrassengarten mit Pool. Jedem, der eine ruhige und entspanndende Zeit verbringen möchte, uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder.

Eine fantastische Aussicht von einer Terrasse, die zum Entspannen einlädt.

Wir haben dort mit Freunden eine sehr angenehme Woche verbracht und können das Haus zweifelfrei empfehlen. Bis auf die Tatsache, dass die Zimmer unterschiedlich groß und imposant sind (was die Zuteilung u. U. erschwert), war alles andere hervorragend. Die Aussicht auf`s Meer lädt zum Entspannen auf der Terrasse ein, sowohl zum Abend hin als auch bereits beim Frühstück. Wir haben nichts bereut.

Underbart hus!

Vi var supernöjda efter vår vecka i detta hus. Det är typ finare än vad bilderna beskriver. Allt var i perfekt ordning och det är underbar utsikt från alla rum i hela huset. Perfekt med ett eget badrum som tillhör varje sovrum och perfekta sociala ytor och middagar på terrassen. Det är väldigt jobbiga och branta backar så bil är att rekommendera om man inte orkar gå. Vi var där i mitten av juni och då var det perfekt, men kan tänka mig att det kan bli extremt varmt i poolområdet då det aldrig blåser där.

About the host

Hosted by Pascal Aeschlimann

I am a Swiss Entrepreneur expatriated in Singapore and married to a Singaporean Eye Surgeon. We have a young boy and love to travel and show him the nicest place in this world.

Why they chose this property

We actually purchased the property during the COVID lockdown as a way to escape virtually to the Cote D'Azur, where we spent our last Summer holliday pre-Covid.
In months of search, this was by far the nicest property we found. Great views and layout in a perfect location to enjoy the nearby small beaches, hike/bike in the Esterelle Massif or explore the Cote d'Azur.
We trusted Michael, the german owner who took care of it for 20 years and rented it out to many happy travellers. Their reviews confirmed the great impression we got from the distance and from the feedback of friends who went to visit on our behalf.
We are proud to now be able to continue the rentals with the same furnitures and team to support guests and try to be great hosts as well. It makes us happy when people enjoy one of our properties and tell us they want to come back.
