Appartement très confortable, très bien équipé. La situation est à l’écart du bruit. La climatisation totale de l’appartement a été très appréciée par ses fortes chaleurs. L’accueil par Markus a été très convivial. Nous conseillons.

Ein toller Aufenthalt in einer wunderschönen Wohnung

Die Wohnung von John ist einfach nur großartig: Super Lage, tolle Terrasse, alle Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Bad, großartig ausgestattet - es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Und dazu noch ein super Service! John hat uns im Vorfeld alle notwendigen Infos zukommen lassen und Markus vor Ort war ein wunderbarer und verlässlicher Ansprechpartner, mit dem die reibungslose Übergabe organisiert wurde. Herzlichen Dank an John und Markus - das war echt ein tolles Niveau, das Ihr uns geboten habt!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Vallauris apt. John has sent clear instructions, the apt is very comfortable and well located for the coast. Enjoyed the terrace and being able to walk to the sea front and shops. Markus the property manager was very helpful. Thanks

Excellent home from home.

We can't find anything to fault this apartment on. The apartment is bright and clean. It is well equipped. Excellent location. Very handy for the local bus services. The lounge and balcony gets the sun all day. I was here with my wife, my mother-in-law, and my wife's aunt. The senior pair had never done a self-catering holiday before. This apartment has now given them the idea for the future. Markus, the property manager, is on hand should any issues, regardless, arise. It is an easy walk (15 - 20 minutes) to the port, beaches and railway station from the apartment. As previously stated, take a li-lo or something similar to with you should you wish to laze about the pool. Certainly recommended. Thank you to John and Celia.

Rummelig, behagelig lejlighed med dejlig terrasse og god beliggenhed ca 10 minutters gang fra strand

Lejligheden er både veludstyret og rummelig (kan nemt rumme 6 voksne uden problemer). Alt fungerer og er ligetil. Der er styr på tingene (også fra udlejers side) Ejendommen er meget velholdt og beliggende i roligt område. Der er kort afstand til det meste. Indenfor ca 10 min gang er der adgang til indkøb, strand, restaurant, apotek mm. Bussen til Cannes tager 15 min. og der er en køretur på 30 min til Nice og 45 min. til Monaco. Et dejligt sted der kan anbefales.

Brilliant apartment!

A beautiful, spacious apartment that is very well equipped and in a quiet location but within easy walking distance of the sandy beach; it is situated on the top floor and can be accessed by a lift. The premises are entered via security gates and door entry code. There was ample room for our group of six with a huge lounge and plenty of space for everyone on the very large, sunny balcony.The kitchen has excellent appliances and all the equipment you would need if you plan to cook. The property has air con, was very clean and the apartment block well maintained. The owner was most helpful with advice and information about the local area and there were plenty of instructions for use of the internet /TV/DVD etc. The pool area was really nice and very clean but you might want to take loungers/inflatables to lie on as there is nothing provided. The small town is about 15-20 minutes walk away and has all the usual shops. There are plenty of restaurants to suit all tastes along the harbour side and various water sports and boat trips and the train that runs along the coast is superb for exploring the area. We would certainly recommend this property if you are looking for somewhere tranquil but within walking distance of the livelier parts of the town.

About the host

Hosted by Celia and John Newgas

Host profile image
We are a family from London,, UK and we have three adult children We bought this apartment, as we wanted somewhere where could all stay together for holidays and sometimes use when the weather is cold in the UK.
We are a retired professional couple - an accountant and a CEO who ran international organisation. We like food, relaxing and classical Music. Celia loves the beach side walks and walking to see fish being sold straight from boats in the harbour every morning. I enjoy visiting the many art galleries and beautiful mountain villages inland

Why they chose this property

I used to come to the South of France as a child. The weather is lovely with bright sunlight. We wanted somewhere very close to the sea, but not actually on the sea-front. Golfe-Juan is small town, with mainly French residents. It is close to Cannes, Juan-les-Pins and Antibes so that there is much to see and do. When we chose the location it was essential for us that access was good and that we could enjoy the area without having to sue a car. The buses and local train allow easy visits all along the coast and into Italy at very low cost

We chose la Desirade because it was in a quiet location and had large gardens and a private swimming pool. The people here are friendly.

What makes this property unique

We can see the sea from our living room and terrace, and see mountains on the other side of the apartment. We liked la Desirade because it had generous space and grounds. As most of the residents are French and out at work , the grounds and pool are not crowded. Everyone is friendly and we all greet each other with a "Bonjour".
Parking is easy as we have our own space and you will get a remote control for the gates.
The areas is quiet and safe. Children can go down to the beach and teenagers explore on their own without worry. The gardens have a small olive grove for shade and bench seats set in the grass. There is even a boules pitch to play french style bowls.

The large terrace - about 4m x 5m has a partial overhang roof so it is lovely to use all day.

We bought the apartment with the intention to spend winters here, so we chose one which had plenty of space for us, and one bathroom for each bedroom so that our children and friends can feel comfortable.

The apartment is furnished for comfort during a hot summer ... we have the usual things like full fibre internet and WiFi and UK TV programmes, but also plentiful supplies of wine glasses and plates with a real separate kitchen so that feeding families is easy. One of the attractions of France is that that there are many places offering prepared food that just need cooking or even only warming for a super meal.

Our favourite time is at 6 in the evening when we all sit on the terrace with nibbles and an aperitif. Try a Pineau de Charentes - our favourite and enjoy the sunset.
