Overall:
We would stay there again in a heartbeat--the location and property were just outstanding.
Enjoyed Most:
The property was beautifully maintained and pretty. There was ample room for all of us seven and the sitting areas were lovely. The pool was perfect and surrounded by flowers. The kitchen was a dream and well equipped..Loved it!!!
And the landlady was absolutely delightful..She went out of her way to make it sparkle for us.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The bathrooms were tricky to negotiate, but adequate. As the one bathroom was not in the same room as the shower and sink, one had to go down a level to get to the commode or up a level if one was in the lower bedroom.
Surrounding Area:
Everything--the day trips to the hills or coast were all manageable and worthwhile. There is something for everyone really--all age groups. Cabris is special--we enjoyed the beach at Cagnes sur Mer--it was pebbly but more family oriented than the ones around St. Tropez. People were clothed!
Nearby Events or Locales:
Grasse was quite close and fun to explore. You could walk to a bread store and farm stand, but on a main road--so best to negotiate everything by car
Tips or Restaurants:
Chantegrille was excellent and close and the pizza place near there was also good for take out. There are two grocery stores--Intermarche and Champion--and the bookstore near Champion sells English books and the Herald Tribune as well as postcards. The post office is right there too.

Overall:
Lovely home to return to after day of sightseeing. We did not have children with us, but it would be a comfortable, easy place for a family to bring who can negotiate stairs and be respectful of a lovely home.
Enjoyed Most:
Quiet, peaceful setting. House and grounds are very well maintained. The owner is a lovely, friendly woman and very pleasant to deal with.
Unpleasant Surprises:
You need to drive everywhere. Feels like living in a nice suburb rather than in a village. Need to get used to all the details of the locks and security system on the house and gate. Not really a problem - just good to know in advance that it's part of the experience of coming and going.
Surrounding Area:
Small villages in the mountains and by the coast are wonderful. The Maeght Foundation in St. Paul and other small museums were quite interesting. Valbonne, Grimaud, Seillons and Tourette-sur-Loup were our favorites but many others worth seeing. Some towns more touristy and well traveled than others. It's essential that someone be comfortable with driving on small, winding, precipitous roads.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Peymienade is the nearest small town. Not really worth visiting except for buying food or other essentials. No reason to walk there. It would mostly be along a busy road.
Tips or Restaurants:
Chantigrille up the road away from Peymeinade is a lovely family run restaurant worth a trip. Le Cadran Solaire in Valbonne down a little alley is also family run with intimate atmosphere and delicious, local food. Bachanallas in Tourette just got a star.

Overall:
It was very clean and private.
Enjoyed Most:
There was plenty of room for six people. The house and yard was well kept and everything, including dishes, plates, BBQ, etc, was available for use.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing - I would go back again.
Surrounding Area:
There was different scenery within a short distance of the property. We were able to visit the mountains with a 20 minute drive and also able to visit the sea in about 30 minutes.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Pymeniade. It was a small village just outside of Grasse.
Tips or Restaurants:
There was a lake area just southwest of the property. It was a nice area and had sailing, fishing available.
