About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury close to the French Riviera: House surrounded by nature with swimming pool

We are pleased to provide you with this individual house that we have enlarged, restored and decorated as if we had to live there ourselves, because we wanted to make it a real place to live, to share.

We are particularly attached to this little house, a simple ruin bought by our parents who had already made it, little by little, and with their means the place of our meetings and our memories.

Sharing this passion for this magical place, we acquired the adjoining land and in the same spirit we built our home there. This hill is almost ours. This is where we live and this is where we want to welcome you! With you, "a little like with us".

We wanted to keep all the simplicity of the place, specific to its primary function, a simple shepherd's shelter that we have transformed into a haven of peace with great comfort.

Working in the theater and cinema trades, our sensitivity to art and creation certainly contributed to bringing an original and offbeat touch to the design of this place!
As budding artists… we have created door handles (sculpted in fine woods) and certain decorative objects, sculptures and other photographs.

A beautiful wooden terrace overlooks the valley as if you were weightless. Cradled in lush greenery, deckchairs and hammock will invite you to laze around. A little lower, the swimming pool (salt, without any chemicals), and the bowling green…

This islet of simplicity and peace is surrounded by magnificent grounds planted with olive trees, guaranteeing you the luxury of the isolation, calm and serenity that you have come to seek from us.
Nature lovers you will realize what the word silence means in our hills still untouched by any visual and noise pollution.
Why not think of meditation, yoga, massages with our partners?

Your stay will allow you to discover the Paillons valley, which is still exceptionally preserved from the rest of the Côte d'Azur.

You will be delighted, whatever the season, with a rich palette of colors and varied activities. Tracks and hiking trails around, beaches, rivers, canyoning, via ferrata, mushroom picking, skiing or snowshoeing await you.


For those who would like to push the discovery further, the Mercantour and the middle mountains like the Vallée des Merveilles, Peira Cava, the Turini pass and its emblematic routes of the rally of Monte Carlo, Italy by the passes or by the coast, the hinterland of Nice and these villages are very close.

The house is 10 minutes from the village of Escarène by car. To get there, you will have to take a concrete track for 1km, then a dirt track for 2km, suitable for vehicles but not recommended for certain vehicles that are too low.

On your way from Nice, 10 minutes before arriving at l'Escarène, you will pass by the town of La Pointe where there is an Intermarché, a service station, a Picard and a wine cellar.

We recommend that you stock up on the way to the house… A large freezer is at your disposal!

In the village, you will find a grocery store offering local vegetables, two bakeries, two restaurants, a bar / tobacco shop, a pharmacy, four doctors, a butcher, a post office and a bank with ATM.

Whether you are a lover of idleness, maddened by contemplation, experienced hikers, occasional walkers, by bike, 4x4 or simply wanting to get away from the city bustle, you will certainly find your happiness with us.

You will also be able to discover a different French Riviera with its hinterland rich in traditions, its unusual and forgotten places, these unknown beaches, the most beautiful sites of the French Riviera, authentic villages ....
But also the cities of Nice, Cannes, Monaco with their museums, their best restaurants, their renowned beaches are nearby!

In all cases we will share with you our knowledge of the region and the passion that drives us to live in a preserved and rich environment.


The house consists of:
- A kitchen equipped with quality equipment with induction hob, oven, microwave, extractor hood, espresso coffee maker (the pods are free), toaster, kettle, dishwasher, fridge and freezer
- A living-dining room with television (bouquet SFR), wifi and bluetooth speaker, sofa and a nice space for meals.
- A first bedroom with a double bed in 160 (possibility of dividing it into two beds of 80).
- A second bedroom with a double bed in 160, (possibility of dividing it into two beds of 80) and a bed in 80
- A bathroom with bathtub
- An independent toilet.
- A cellar with washing machine.
- A wooden terrace with deckchairs, hammock, large convivial table, plancha ... and all this in the shade of a beautiful roof adjoining the house, olive trees and shade cloths.
- A 6m x 4m pool treated with salt with a shower, deckchairs, large outdoor cushions and parasols.

The access path to the house, unfortunately does not allow us to accommodate people with reduced mobility.
The house is entirely non-smoking, smoking areas are provided outside, (with the greatest attention required, even outside because fire risks are unfortunately frequent in the south of France!)
For the sake of hygiene we regret that we cannot accept pets.

In a spirit of perfectionism, we paid particular attention to the bedding as well as the linen (which is provided free of charge). We ask that you do not use pool towels.

Blissfully Quiet
This is a beautiful hillside property built for relaxation. The gravel approach comes as something of a surprise no matter how much warning you're given. Not a problem but I'm pleased our approach was in daylight. Corinne and Daniel couldn't be more friendly or helpful. All in all a wonderful place to stay.

A true hidden gem!
From the time we requested this property right to our last day - what a wow factor! Christine and Daniel arranged for their lovely family members to meet us at the property as we arrived and they made us feel at home and so welcome. We received a lovely email prior to arrival with directions and the best places to stop and do our grocery shopping on the way. We were welcomed with a lovely Christmas tree, olives, chocolates and a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the holiday season. The house was immaculate and spotless! Everything has been thought of and there is attention to detail in each room. The views, peace, tranquillity, comfort, house... Well need I say more. The kitchen has everything you require and we we able to make the most delicious meals. The little town nearby is a short drive away and has everything you may need and even a wonderful bakery. We went on a day trip to Monaco which was very convenient and close! This was truly one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had and we will definitely be back! THANK YOU for everything :)

Une maison confortable dans une nature magnifique
Malgré une météo maussade, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette maison invitant au farniente. Un immense merci à Corinne et Daniel pour leur chaleureux accueil. La maison offre tout le confort nécessaire. Le panorama est splendide. La très grande terrasse permet de passer de la chaise longue au tapis de yoga et à la table pour déguster les plats concoctés dans la cuisine parfaitement équipée. Les promenades sont faciles et superbes autour de la maison, tant à pied qu'en voiture (en une heure on passe de la Méditerranée aux pistes enneigées). Les supermarchés ne sont vraiment pas loin en voiture. Arrivés épuisés, nous sommes repartis requinqués et heureux. Merci

Eine Perle in den Bergen
Wir sind erfahrene Ferienwohnung-Urlauber in Frankreich und Italien und können dieses Objekt voll und ganz weiterempfehlen. Das Objekt von Christine hat alle Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt. Wir sind in ein top gereinigtes Objekt gekommen und im Schlafzimmer erwartete uns ein schönes Straußchen mit Blumen aus dem Garten. Dieses zeigt die Liebe, die Christine in ihr Objekt steckt und die Aufmerksamkeit, die sie ihren Gästen entgegenbringt. Wir konnten vor der Anreise mit Christine alles schnell klären und auch während unseres Aufenthalts war Christine stets schnell per SMS und persönlich erreichbar. Das Objekt hat einen traumhaften Blick in die Berge von Nizza. Die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet. Sie verfügt über ein großes Gefrierfach, so dass man Vorräte einfrieren kann. Besonders zu erwähnen ist der Gasgrill, der ein "Kochen im Freien" ermöglichte. Der Pool ist überschaubar groß, aber das war auch aus dem Inserat ersichtlich. Er reicht voll und ganz für eine Abkühlung. Sehr bequeme Betten ermöglichten erholsame Nächte. Einzig fehlende Mückennetze vor den Fenstern (zumindest im Schlafzimmer) haben wir vermisst. Das wäre ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag für das Haus. Das Haus liegt ca. 20 Kilometer vom Nizza entfernt. Menton, Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer ..... alles zügig erreichbar, wenn man die französischen Straßenverhältnisse kennt. Die Anfahrt zum Haus ist zwar etwas abenteuerlich (ca. 1,5 km Schotterweg), aber die Mühe wird mit der tollen Lage in der Natur belohnt. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt.

Ressourçant !
C'est un endroit charmant, caché au cœur de la vallée pour les amoureux de poésie et de calme. Les oliviers sont magnifiques et la lumière unique. La maison est vraiment bien mieux équipée que la plupart des locations et c'est appréciable pour le budget : pas besoin de tout racheter. Les amoureux de cuisine trouveront des épices et des ustensiles pour pratiquer leur art: je vous recommande. Attention cependant à ne pas avoir une voiture trop basse car l'accès est difficile ,la route est caillouteuse et difficile à la fin.Mais ça donne un aspect " aventure" sympathique

Fantastisch huis Cote da Sur
Het huis is fantastisch! Het is super schoon en alles wat je maar wenst is aanwezig. De bedden en beddengoed zijn top. Het terras en het uitzicht zijn subliem en het zwembad heerlijk. Christine is een super lieve en goede gastvrouw. De weg naar het huis is goed te doen ook al is het een bergweggetje. Het dorp is klein en rustig en heeft niet veel vertier. Wel veel mooie plaatsen in de omgeving. Grote supermarkt op nog geen 10 km afstand. Kortom houd je van een rustige plek met een panoramisch uitzicht en alle comfort dan moet je hier zijn.
