Les Citronniers apartment with charm, infinity pool and panoramic sea view

A wondeful property that leaves nothing to be desired. Very friendly and helpful hosts. A holiday in paradise.

Peaceful place on a great location, overseeing the Mediterranean Tastefully decorated, plenty of equipment snd amenities. Very friendly owners. We had a great stay, it was always good to come back to this oasis of peace after a day of going about.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely VRBO for 9 days. It was an excellent place that gave us a base to travel to many large and small towns in the general area. The home was very clean and had everything I needed for cooking at home some evenings. Isabelle and Alin were wonderful hosts that gave us many options of places to visit. The rose gardens were a great way to unwind after a full day of site seeing. I would highly recommend their apartment.

Driving up the winding road from Vence centre you climb higher and the views get better and eventually you arrive at La Bastide des pins. It's a perfect setting and Alain and Isabelle the ideal hosts full of suggestions about what to visit. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed. That winding road to Vence isn't too far and a lovely walk in the morning, as was the forest trail into the hills in the other direction. After the busy galleries and museums returning to the apartment was so relaxing. Recommended!!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this well-equipped apartment high above Vence. The hosts are very lovely and eager to share their knowledge of the area and attend to every request. On a clear day the view from the apartment's private outside area is amazing, and even in fog, dramatic. Lots of flowers and lucky for us, profuse, fragrant wisteria in bloom, added to the pleasure of the setting. We took lots of day trips and enjoyed returning to eat a home-cooked meal outside, watching the lights twinkle below, or enjoy one of the many excellent restaurants in Vence. The old town of Vence is fun to walk around and less touristy than many others in the area. The house was further from the town than we had envisioned, requiring lots of tight turns and are-we-there-yet moments, and driving time for day trips. The positive side of this is the peace and quiet of the location and the proximity to hiking paths.

When my husband and I first arrived, our hosts Isabelle and Alain, greeted us warmly and showed us around their breathtakingly beautiful property~where we stayed for a week! The gardens and view of the Med are spectacular-day and night (at night I would often get up to see the lights of Antibes and Cannes twinkling in the distance)! The cottage is charming, well- appointed, well-equipped, comfortable (the bed and linens are luxurious) cosy and romantic. It's in a great area~ don't miss: St. Paul de Vence ( 10 minutes away), Monaco (exciting but crazy busy), St Tropez (take the ferry from St Maxime), and Antibes (on Thursday for Market day). This little piece of paradise is hard to find and up a very steep hill via a tiny road with hairpin turns but once you get there you will never want to leave!

Wow was our first impression of this wonderful bastide. Even though it was pouring rain & light was fading when we arrived, Alain, Isabelle & that amazing view were there to welcome us. There is so much that we loved about Le Bastide des Pins - the wonderful hosts, the view from Nice to the Bay of Cannes (and sometimes Corsica), the tranquility, the many interesting places to visit (6 weeks was not long enough!), the hiking possibilities & the well equipped accommodation. We also appreciated the secure parking right outside our door and enjoyed sitting out in the front garden basking in the sunshine (yes - in January) with the birds singing and the scent of mimosa wafting in the air. We highly recommend Le Bastide des Pins. Isabelle & Alain, thank you for a wonderful 6 weeks. We hope to see you again.

We have had the pleasure to stay at La Bastide des Pins for three weeks in October 2013 First we want to mention that the owners are truly nice and helpful people. One example of that is when we had the bad luck to get a small screw into one of our tyres resulting in a flat tyre.Where that screw was hidden on the roads in Provence is still a mystery. However ,even if it was on a Saturday afternoon and guests were coming the owners helped us to change tyres ! We made many trips by car in the beautiful surroundings. Our favourite discovery was the little town Entrevaux in the Valley of Var. Another favourite was Gourdon perched on a high cliff overlooking the landscape below and the Mediterranian Sea. We were also impressed by the coast line between Cannes ans St Raphael. La Bastide des Pins is also an excellent starting point for hikes in the mountains. For instance you can walk for less than two hours to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, have a nice lunch there and walk back home. We enjoyed our appartment that contained all we needed and we adored our garden where we could enjoy some of our meals with the fantastic view over the Sea. For our daily shopping we went to Leclerc in Vence where we found all the food and drink we needed.For more variety we went to Auchan in Grasse a couple of times. For gifts to bring home we drove to the more exclusive CAP3000 in St Laurent very close to Nice. We really enjoyed our stay and we are coming back! Thomas, Ingerid and Dallas (our little dog)

Very nice flat to stay. Very clean with excellent equipment. The owners of the property are very fine people who gave us very good advice concerning walking trails in the area and local restaurants. The view from the garden is unforgettable. We highly recommend this place for people who like tranquility and beauty. Nina from Jerusalem

We just returned from a wonderful week at the Bastide. Very comfortable, very clean 1-bedroom apartment set amongst beautiful gardens and spectacular views. We found this to be the perfect retreat from which to explore the Riviera. Very easy access to Nice, Cannes and Antibes, as well as popular perched villages The hosts could not have been more helpful and hospitable, providing excellent recommendations for exploring and eating. Can't wait to return!
