Name: Villa Funel
Brand: Pure France
SKU: 429

Introduction

Lovely property in an entirely self-contained guest wing on the garden level of a contemporary Provençal villa.

Wi-Fi internet.

Half an acre of terraced grounds looking out to a forest of oak and pinetrees. Located at the very end of a cul de sac, with no other houses in sight, it provides a peaceful and secluded environment from which it is easy to visit the region.

The tranquil Mediterranean garden has hundreds of drought resistant plants that attract butterflies and provide a colourful alternative to grass. Steps from the villa lead from the shady outside terraces down to the 8m x 4m overflow pool, for the exclusive use of renters.

Some drops from the garden into the woods - unsuitable for very young children.

Only 2 km from the active village of Peymeinade which has all the amenities you could wish for. Neighbouring town of Grasse (the perfume capital of the world!) has further restaurants, bars and supermarkets etc.

Cannes and beaches lie 45 minutes away.

COMMENTS FROM THE OWNERS;

"We - Carole (English) and Jean-Luc (French but also speaks English) - live in the other wing of the building, our living area is completely separate, so you are unlikely to see or hear very much of us. We'll mainly be in residence in the evening and at weekends but are available to make sure you have a trouble-free holiday and to provide any information you wish on the area. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to come and see us."

Location

The villa is located 1.5 km from the village of Peymeinade, 45 minutes from Cannes and a few kilometres from Grasse - the perfume capital of the world!

Peymeinade village, 15 minutes walk with restaurants and bars, butchers, fish shop, newsagent, hardware store, chemist, bread shops, post office and banks. For day to day shopping there is 'Intermarché' supermarket about 1 km away.

It is a 45 minute drive to Cannes, 40 minutes to Nice airport and about 1 hour 30 minutes to Monte Carlo, Gorges du Verdon and Saint-Tropez. The nearest beaches are at Cannes, La Napoule or Théoule-sur-Mer, all of which are just over half an hour away.

A convenient ferry service from Saint-Raphael is the most relaxing way to avoid the bottlenecks associated with Saint-Tropez in summer!

The surrounding area boasts some of the finest scenery Provence has to offer. The countryside is predominantly wooded hillsides dotted with picturesque, perched villages and interspersed with luxuriant valleys and deep gorges sparkling with fast flowing rivers and crystalline rock pools.

The salt free waters of nearby Lac de Saint-Cassien are excellent for swimming with canoes and pedals available for hire. Alternatively, you can take a trip into the Tanneron hills and enjoy marvellous views over the lake and the Esterel National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty with its pine clad sandstone hills eroded over the years to create spectacular peaks and wild jagged rock formations rising up from the azure blue Mediterranean.

There are numerous interesting nearby villages. Cabris, perched on a cliff edge high above Grasse; Mougins, the gastronomic centre of the Côte d'Azur, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Tourrettes-sur-Loup, picture book pretty and with a wide choice of artists' studios for the discerning; Gourdon and Saint-Cezaire, perching on the edge of their respective gorges with superb views over the mountains and the coast from Nice to Saint-Tropez;

Montauroux, unspoilt and very typical of the area; Callian, ancient and very pretty; Fayence, with its lovely viewpoint and world famous gliding club; and finally Seillans, nestled in the hills and voted amongst the most attractive villages in France ('L'un des plus beaux villages de la France').

Peymeinade, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

Customer Reviews [11]

Beardmore family.
Thank you for providing a beautiful holiday villa. We had a fabulous time and thought the Villa was lovely.

Grimmett family
Carole and Jean-Luc have created a wonderful tranquil home. It is easily the best equipped we have ever rented - for instance the kitchen is lacking nothing at all! It's in a great location and within a short drive of local attractions (eg Grasse, Mons, Callian etc.) as well as within a short distance of the Riviera. Our hosts were very helpful when we sought advice and we hope one day that we will be able to return.

Cecile and Fredo
We had a lovely time. The apartment and garden are wonderful. We hope to come back.

Jayne and Paul Gibbons
We had a brilliant restful time at Villa Funel as part of a longer tour of France. The location of the property was so tranquil with a beautiful garden and pool to relax in when not out sight seeing. The furnishings, towels and bedding were of good quality and there was plenty of everything you could possibly need. Carole and Jean Luc were very relaxed, friendly and helpful but we really seemed to have the place to ourselves with not a soul in sight which was perfect. We hope to return one day.

Fiona and Steve
We had a busy two weeks and it was so nice to return to a peaceful, clean apartment and lovely garden to relax in. We have booked to return in 2020 and are looking forward to it already. The apartment is fully equipped with all the basics needed for a short break.

V. Friend
Villa Funel was spotless, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable and the whole place was light and airy. The DVD player and the large supply of films was great for late viewing. The pool area and garden were a delight. We had a lovely relaxing time. We will certainly return.

Kay and Jim
We have stayed now on five occasions and will return again. Accommodation has everything you could wish for in self-catering accommodation and the pool is superb. Lovely little villages to visit nearby as well as Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco all within easy reach. Easy drive from Nice Airport to a very peaceful location.

David and Hazel
Villa Funel was in a lovely position being very private with glimpses of surrounds. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well furnished with everything you could need and more (much better than some previous villas we have rented!). The pool was a good size, gorgeous, nice to swim after sightseeing. I would thoroughly recommend this villa to either a couple or a family.

Amelie, Alice and Joseph
We had an amazing two weeks in the sun, we spent some days by the pool. You can swim and look at the stunning view of the hills in the distance. The apartment is spotless and has everything we needed at the start of our holiday. The owners can speak English which is helpful if you needed anything which we didn't. We would love to go back again.

Catherine and Malcolm
We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The accommodation was first class, very well appointed, bright and spacious with comfortable beds. The pool was attractive and inviting. There were plenty of areas around it to sit, lounge and relax, surrounded by beautiful blossom. There was plenty to do in the area from perched villages to golden beaches. The owners were friendly and helpful, yet unobtrusive. We would certainly recommend a stay.

Kevin, Allison and Sarah
At the end of a long and busy vacation in France, the property was a beautiful place to relax. The grounds and pool are perfect, the owners were friendly and helpful. Very clean, well appointed, comfortable. Close enough to go where we wanted along the Côte d'Azur, but peaceful when we wanted to relax. One week was not enough. Will definitely return here if we travel to France again.
