Summer 2023

Vi havde 14 skønne dages ferie i huset. Den fantastiske udsigt og væk fra larm samt den dejlige pool, var helt i top. Huset har det nødvendige udstyr til et godt ophold. Det er dejligt at den lille by er i kort gå afstand fra huset. God og nem kontakt til husansvarlige.

Stunning view and village feel

Loved our stay, walking distance café and shops. Bigger supermarket only a few minutes away. Stunning view. The property has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Only one negative (but nothing to do with the villa): we had some unwanted guests: mosquitoes. So come with repellent Overall, lovely villa, lovely stay

Terrific holiday, lovely village!

We had a terrific holiday in Villa Elleysi, with the location being the highlight. The easy walk to the lovely village of Montauroux meant we regularly went just to get a baguette from the friendly boulangerie, or an apero in the Bar de Boulistes! The views from the house are lovely, particularly from the shaded terrace just outside the living room/dining room area. We sat there a lot peacefully gazing at the Esterel. Other highlights? The pool!!! With 35 degree heat being the norm during our two weeks, it was definitely appreciated! Overall this was one of the most relaxing holidays we've had,, and we'll definitely be back next year!

Sehr schönes Haus mit super Pool

Das Haus liegt sehr schön, nahe dem Zentrum von Montauroux und mit einer super Aussicht auf die umliegenden Hügel. Der grosse, schöne Pool war für die ganze Familie das Highlight. Montauroux liegt ideal für Ausflüge wie z. Bsp. nach Cannes, Nizza, St. Tropez oder Grasse. Auch die kleinen Dörfer sind charmant. Lac St. Cassien ist super, um Pedalos zu mieten und zu baden. Alles in allem ein rundum gelungener Urlaub. Merci Isa und Ann Marie

Perfect Villa Holiday

We had an absolutely magical holiday in this wonderful Villa! It is so comfy and homely, very spacious and well equipped (we appreciated the coffee machine!). The pool is perfect, I did lots of research on Villas in the area and this was definitely the biggest and best pool. Loads of outside space too and eating everyday on the balcony with the amazing views was something I will never forget. We went the first week in September and had it heated which was a huge bonus. Montauroux is a lovely little village, friendly and authentic and the Villa is well placed for exploring the local area. Our son (10 years) said this was the best holiday he'd ever had and I agree! Thank so much, we hope to return!

A very well presented and convenient Villa.

A very well presented and convenient Villa to attractions by the Coast, or in the opposite direction to the Gorges. The Swimming Pool is very inviting, and the characterful small village centre of Montauroux is a short walk away.

Clean, Perfect location, and a lovely heated pool!

Very satisfied with our one week stay in Montauroux! Clean, Perfect location, and a lovely heated pool! Good Internet Wi-Fi, TV with Nexflix, and plenty of hot water for showers! Local village was close, good Bakery and local supermarked is good, and cinama only minutes walk east! Pool guy cleaned pool twice in a week, and fixed heating when it shortly was out of order. We would love to come here again, and will recommend it to anyone! Hous

Aménagement et équipements descevents

Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette maison en août 2017. L'équipement de la cuisine à l'étage est très sommaire et il n'y a aucun rangement hormis le réfrigérateur. Les chambres (double pourtant) n'ont qu'une petite commode pour 2 d'entre elles et la derniere n'a qu'un côté de penderie. Pour info, les chaînes TV ne sont que des chaînes étrangères (anglais). Il y a également un évier au RDC mais l'évier n'a pas d'eau !! Attention cette maison est sur 3 niveaux (1= habitation, 2=terrasse/buanderie et 3=piscine), le seul escalier est extérieur (sur le côté de la maison) donc pas très pratique pour déjeuner sur la terrasse du 2eme niveau. Point positif = belle piscine. Conclusion : Village très mignon mais maison décevante malgré le prix de la location.

Utterly stunning! A tranquil idyll in the heart of a welcoming village.

We had a wonderful holiday in Maison Elleysi, so much so that we didn't want to come home!! Prior to visiting, we had done a little research online and knew that a car would be a must - very easy; booked online, collected at the airport, totally hassle free. Montauroux is an easy, 40 min run from Nice airport. On arrival in Montauroux, the village was alive with both locals and holiday makers soaking up the afternoon sun - boules in the square is a very popular pastime! Maison Elleysi is very easy to find and has absolutely ample parking. The villa itself is rustic, charming and embraces Provencal style wonderfully. In the lounge, there is a huge open fire that would be beautifully inviting for a stay in the colder months. One of our favourite features is the delightful balcony/terrace. There are bistro tables here, large feature glass doors and a side door leading to a bedroom. We spent most evenings here enjoying the view. The three bedrooms are ample; beds comfy and shutters continue the rustic charm. Yes, it was warm at night... but it was absolutely scorching during the day; fans circulated the air well. The kitchen is delightful - again with a rustic feel. Ample facilities within and also tea, coffee and basic supplies such as condiments. Leaving via the front door takes you to a most wonderful terrace complete with outdoor sofas, several parasols and a large gazebo. Also on the terrace is the summer kitchen complete with bbq and gas hot plate - absolutely perfect for outdoor dining, which we did lots! There's also a shower room to this floor which was great! Down one final set of stairs and you're greeted by a beautiful swimming pool. The views from here are outstanding and the pool itself is perfect. Plenty of sun loungers, parasols and a shaded pergola make for many a perfect poolside day. During our visit, we hoped to visit several places... but it was so hot and we were so smitten with Montauroux that we remained there! The village itself is unbelievably welcoming. On our first day, we visited Bar Du Clos in the square. They do carry out wine and beer and the food is delicious. We loved the Boulangerie - the baker is hilarious! We had a french lesson and ended up purchasing most of the shop - he's great!! The mini market remains closed - Drop town into the valley (5 mins by car) and there's a huge Leclerc, Aldi, restaurants etc. We absolutely cannot wait to return to Maison Elleysi. It's a wonderful, charming retreat.

The villa was as appeared on the website, a charming, rustic accommodation.

We enjoyed the private, secluded pool area which was great for sunbathing and swimming. Spectacular views! The villa was well equipped both inside and out. However, we did feel some areas of the property were lacking in cleanliness, particularly the floors. Both the toilet and hall lights were not working and there was no contact for emergency repairs. Luckily Andy, the pool man, arrived on our third day and undertook these tasks. He also helped us to book local taxi journeys for our stay as we did not hire a vehicle (the website did not deem this a necessity). We were also not made aware that the local supermarket had closed in July and the closest to the villa was not within walking distance but located at the bottom of the valley on a busy main road. With this in mind we were surprised that a small welcome pack of essentials was not made available on our arrival. Having said the above, we thoroughlyly enjoyed our week stay in the delightful village of Montauroux. We would love to return to Maison Elleysi one day.

Lovely views, amazing pool, just a little under loved and not very clean.

Montauroux is a beautiful village, stunning views of the valley and beyond. we will be back, but not to stay at 49 Rue St Brigitte. The villa lacked some love, it is in need of a good clean and some TLC. The access to the pool is odd and not hugely convenient. the pool itself was warm and awesome and very well maintained. this was the highlight of the villa. on previous holidays we are welcomed with a small hamper of essentials, bread, milk, a bottle of Rose etc. no such luck here, totally empty of anything. The nights were really hot with only poor working electric fans to keep us cool, they didn't have the desired effect. apart from that, stunning!

Great time

Five of us (three generations) had a wonderful week at the villa. The weather was glorious all week and we had a great time, spending one or two days entirely 'at home' eating, drinking and swimming and other days making short trips to nearby perched towns and the nearby lake. Fresh bread was a five minute walk away in the mornings and although the supermarket in Montauroux had shut down (permanently or temporarily, no-one was sure), the large supermarket in the valley below was handy and bars and restaurants in the village itself provided evening entertainment. The mosquitoes weren't an issue during the day - it just pays to be extra vigilant before retiring for the night and to come prepared with insect repellent and 'after bite' pens for the one or two that get through the various barriers!

Great location, great pool

Enjoyed 10 very relaxing days in Montauroux. Location of the house is ideal to wander into the square for croissants in the morning and a drink in the evening. There is a small market on Tuesday morning. The house was very well equipped. The pool and pool area were excellent. We had the pool heated which was great for the early season. A couple of feedback items; - more than a single towel per person needed for a holiday!. - the property could also have been cleaner...we found the floors very dusty... we had a crawling baby who had black legs and hands after the first hour and so we spent the first morning of our holiday hoovering and mopping!

Lovely house and view, location in pretty village but also close to coast.

This is the second time we have stayed in this house. Very comfortable,clean and well equipped. Pool area and view of the valley is fantastic. Montaroux is an attractive village with a few shops, including bakery and bars. There was also a small music festival in the week we were staying. Good location for day trips including Cannes, Monaco, Gorge du Verdon, St.Tropez etc but also lots of quieter beaches and coves if you prefer.

Perfect spot - beautiful views and handy for all amenities

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your villa. The property had beautiful views overlooking the valley with the mountains and coast in the horizon - close enough even to enjoy some of the fireworks on the french riviera. The property was well equipped with everything you would need - we spent lots of lazy days by the pool just enjoying the views and the peace and quiet. As we were so close to the village square, we normally popped out in the evening for either a drink or a meal out in one of the many little local restaurants. We even walked as far as Callian to visit the restaurant by the church there - highly recommended. We also took trips to Grasse and Fayence and soaked up the french markets and enjoyed a mooch around the shops, and of course several trips to Lac du Cassien, where the kids had a ball on the inflatables and the pedaloes. A fabulous holiday! Thank you so much to Henry and Jeannie for being on hand for advice about markets and where best to go. Highly recommended holiday destination

wonderful location

We had a fantastic stay in Montauroux. The house is very comfortable, clean and well fitted out with everything you need for a great family holiday. The pool is of a very good size - much enjoyed by the children (aged 9 and 6), and the view is stunning - much enjoyed by the parents! The short walk into the village is very pleasant - the village itself is beautiful, quintessentially French and has everything you need for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The neighbouring hilltop village of Callian is a lovely day trip or night out too. And we had a great day at the nearby lake, hiring a fantastic pedalo with built-in slide! I would love to return again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

Lovely villa in a splendid location

We all had a fabulous week with lovely weather in Montauraux. Henry & Jeannie were extremely helpful in every respect. Meals overlooking the Esterel Valley from the balcony were wonderful. The village square was a delight and only five minutes walk away, with several good restaurants, village shop and patisserie. We visited Grasse, the Verdon Gorge and spent a lovely day by the Lac de Saint Cassien. The villa was full of French character; our only concern was that the description regarding the bathrooms and toilet facilities we felt was misleading. We anticipated two en-suite bathrooms when in fact neither bathroom had a toilet so on that floor it was neccesary to share the separate toilet. The lower ground floor had another toilet but during the night it was not possible to use this facility as it was only accessible from outside. However, despite the above, we do hope to return one day and would recommend the villa to friends and family.

Great Villa!

The villa is in a great location, easily walkable to the village which has the usual small supermarket and bread shop. The villa is reasonably well equipped, the highlight being the pool. We had it heated at the end of August and it made it nice to use. The pool was fenced off from the top which meant we didn't have to worry about the kids. There is also no internal stairs from the main villa to the pool (or the rooms below which contain another toilet/shower/washing machines), which also added to security with the kids, but was a bit of a pain when walking between the two. The TV was of little use, the satellite box wasn't working (we knew in advance) but it had a DVD player which was OK. The main thing (for the kids) was that there was WIFI!!! The WIFI was reasonably fast for where you are and extended out to the pool which was useful. The mosquito's were present in August, but as long as you use the normal plug ins etc. they're not too much of a bother. The drive up to the villa was fine and parking was easy and secure. Was a bit bothered about being located near to a school etc., but there was no noise from the road at all. I think that the kids in the pool created the most noise in the area. The view from the villa is nice, albeit you are looking over some commercial areas such as supermarkets etc, but they are in the distance. Just don't expect the completely "unspoilt" view. The villa was nice and clean and well prepared for the visit. All in all, one of the best villa's that we've stayed in.

Just Perfect !

Stayed at this villa to catch up on rest and good food and we were delighted when we woke up and looked outside. The location is just perfect. The pictures don't do justice of the views : much much better when you see it for yourself. The village is literally a matter of minutes walk away and to be honest we didn't really venture much beyond the village. The villa is well equipped and has a very French charm rather than very modern which is exactly what we wanted. We were lucky with the weather : sunshine everyday ! There were very limited UK channels on the TV but who would want to spend their week watching TV inside rather than sitting in the sun by the pool watching the the sun slowly set ? Saw two spectacular blood red sunsets. The lounge has a large L-shaped sofa and there's a solid oak ( very heavy !!) French dining table at the other side of the room. It's quite a large room with lots of space. Henry was very helpful when we called him about a small problem. A big 'Thanks' for such a wonderful week. Would highly recommend a stay here. M & J

About the host

Hosted by Jazz Bright

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Maison Elleysi and Montauroux in the summer of 2001 whilst on holiday and spent years slowly modifying it to bring it into the 21st century but without destroying the rustic Provencal charm which is typical of the the houses in these mountain villages. It's not perfect ; the stone walls may not be straight, the steps may not be even but seeing these little imperfections as we arrive each year marks the start of a week or two of lazy hot summer days with our daughters by the pool gazing out over the valley and catching up with life .... French style !
