Bénédicte and her family welcomed us warmly to their family home on our first evening even though we arrived late. It’s a bit tough to find at first, especially at night and do not trust Google maps to get you there. Suggest reaching out for directions from the (lovely and highly recommended) neighboring Domaine de Terrebrune vineyard and restaurant.
The property itself is a restored farmhouse dating from nearly 200 years ago and retains that character throughout. The pool and grounds are great with palm and cypress trees, lavender, a lemon tree and bountiful grape vines overhanging the porch.
There are many different living and dining room areas all very tastefully decorated plus a grill and piano for entertaining. Additionally, the property offers many practical amenities like a washing machine, air conditioning in the bedrooms, dishwasher and internet - all serviceable.
I’m not giving five stars because of the location and to emphasize the rustic nature of the property including the bugs in the summer (despite keeping the windows and doors closed the mosquitoes found their way to everyone in bed at night). The property is beautiful but is situated directly above some near-industrial sized greenhouses, which detracts from an otherwise spectacular view. Lastly, and this again is captured in “rustic”, the location felt a bit more isolated to get to some of the more compelling parts of the Côte d’Azur, namely nice beaches. I’ve spent a few weeks on multiple trips to the south of France and I’d say this location felt like the most work driving around.
