Description from owner
Description
The villa La Piccada is located in St Jeannet, just 25 minutes from Nice Airport and within easy reach of the A8 motorway. St Jeannet is a discreet medieval village once loved by artists such as Chagall, Dufy and Matisse, where many contemporary artists still choose to live, drawn no doubt by the Baou, the distinctive mountain under which the village nestles. St Jeannet even played a part in Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 caper To Catch A Thief, in which the Baou provides a dramatic backdrop to Grace Kelly and Cary Grant's blossoming romance.
La Piccada comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two additional beds available if required. All bedrooms are sunny and light with glorious south-facing views. There is a spacious swimming pool, a pool house equipped with both a gas and a charcoal barbecue, several sunny terraces and a garden with orange, fig and persimmon trees, which guests are naturally welcome to enjoy when in season.
On the top floor you'll find the Terrace Room, a large double bedroom with twin beds (90 x 200) and a private terrace. Adjacent is the retro bathroom with original flamboyant fittings and a separate WC. Next comes the Versailles Room, fit for a king – the original owner had extravagant tastes and subsequent owners haven't had the heart to change them – guests think they make La Piccada unique and add a sense of fun.
Downstairs you'll find a spacious living and dining room with beams and a log fire, and beyond that is the well-equipped kitchen and a conservatory room. There are two further bedrooms, The White Room and The Garden Room, which has French windows leading out to the garden and the newly-completed sun terrace, which leads to the pool. All beds except for the Terrace room are 140 x 200cm. The bathroom on this floor is newly equipped with a shower and modern fittings. There is unlimited free WiFi access throughout the property. For younger visitors there is a high chair and a cot, as well as protective gates for all doors which lead out to the pool. We have two extra beds if required.
La Piccada is ideally situated for groups of cyclists, hikers and climbers, with plenty of storage space in the garage for bikes and outdoor equipment.
The price quoted includes everything: electricity, water, bed linen, towels and cleaning, and you'll also be equipped with loo rolls, dishwasher tablets and detergents, so that you've really got nothing to worry about and there'll be no nasty surprises.
We require a 25% non-refundable deposit on booking with the balance to be paid four weeks prior to arrival. We also require a 500 Euro (450 British pounds) security deposit to cover any damage, which will be refunded (all being well) at the end of your stay. This can be given to us in cash upon your arrival.
Our changeover day is Saturday. We require that departing tenants leave by 10:00 and that incoming tenants arrive no earlier than 16:00 to allow for a thorough cleaning.
As for us, we're English, we're next door, and we're here to help, but you're equally welcome to ignore us if you prefer!

“Fantastic villa in a great location close to Nice”
The villa itself is quite large and very comfortable. We were only a family of four, but it could easily cater for 8+ people. There is plenty of space outside, with a huge pool and terraces with fantastic views of the surrounding hills and the sea in the distance. The imposing Baou towers over the villa to the rear, but as the villa is south facing, does not block any light. The location is fantastic, in a really quiet cul-de-sac, which sees very little passing traffic, yet is close enough to the village, that we were able to walk to it every day for fresh bread. There is a nice gas BBQ (or a charcoal one if you're feeling adventurous) in an outside sheltered area, but there are several lovely restaurants in the villa, ranging from rustic pizzeria to fine dining. Alex and Ed were extremely helpful when we arrived and during our stay. The local area is a mecca for cyclists and Ed was able to offer advice about local routes on quiet roads, even taking me on several spins during our stay. If you enjoy cycling, make sure to bring your bike, because you will regret it otherwise. Also, if you decide to bring your bike, speak to the owners ahead of time, because they may be able to arrange transfer of your bike box from the airport, saving you the necessity of hiring a larger car. We were very sorry to leave and hope to get back soon.
