Stay in Vence
We had a good time, visiting, museums and chapels in the area and walking around Vence old town. It was very convenient to the old town area and restaurants. The major drawback was that the bathroom is. In the main floor cottage and the sleeping is in the loft upstairs

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Richards. He was very helpful with local info.and marked out a couple of trips on the map into the Alps. Local town a ten minute stroll, with good selection of restaurants. Lovely pool , slightly on the chilly side due to weather and beware the mosquitoes. Graham and Val

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Immaculately kept property, lovely well kept gardens and swimming pool. Every detail has been thought of and catered for. Richard is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. He was most helpful during our 4 night stay. Location is very good for the town, restaurants and local buses. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Lovliest home and village!
If you visit the area, youll not find a more amazing and beautiful home. We fell in love with the house and the community. Right out side our door were cafes and restaurants, a farmers market with wonderful foods and vendors. We will likely make it a special trip to return.

Comfortable gîte in scenic town
Richard's gîte is a very comfortable, functional space in the scenic and interesting town of Vence. I was happy to be away from the noise and busy-ness of the coast, and appreciated the close proximity to shops and the town centre. Also appreciated the secure car parking, laundry facilities, and quiest neighbourhood. A great location from which to base cycling excursions. Finally, I was grateful for Richard's careful attentiveness as a host. Thanks Richard!

Attention to detail.
That’s what Richard and this cottage is all about. Everything, and I mean everything, is as we see in the photos. What we can’t see in the photos is the quality of the bed linens. The stairs to the bedroom could be difficult for some, but I’m 80 years old and managed fine. The garden is drop dead gorgeous. Richard is the perfect host. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The old section of Vence is a legitimate 15-minute walk. There are two supermarkets about a 10-minute walk, although the first 150 meters is very steep.. Vence has everything one would expect to find in a classic French town. Boulangerie, patisserie, specialty cheese, wine, charcuterie and butcher shops. If you don’t have a great time, it’ll be your fault.

Our Impression of Vence
Situated in walking distance of medieval Vence and easy driving distance to see the mountain villages inhabited in the past by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and others. Our favourite Mediterranean visit was to Menton one hours drive from the property. The pool and garden a luxury. Mosquitos a pest in Sept/Oct. Otherwise a great place to stay including off street parking. Thank you Richard.

The most beautiful gite in Cote D’Azure, Provence!!
We were excited to come to this beautiful gite but never really imagined just how lovely, quaint and relaxing Richard’s place would be! It is luxuriously appointed, so beautifully decorated and was a joy to make this our home for a few days. We went out each day exploring, we walked to Vence each day and took the bus to St Paul de Vence (highly recommend) and picked up meat, cheese, foods from various shops, cooked each evening and played board games on the terrace by the pool. Richard was about to chat & ask questions if needed. We also didn’t have a car and managed perfect taking the bus /train from Villefranche. We have stayed in lots of beautiful places during our travels and Richard’s beautiful property and gite is now TOPS on our list. Book it now. Thank you Richard for sharing your beautiful property/gite with us.

Just the ticket for a relaxing break
Communication with host Richard was great from the start. Our flight out was delayed and it was touch and go whether we would be in time to pick up our hire car. Richard offered to come to Nice airport and collect us if necessary. Immediately took away worry and concern. This theme continued throughout our short stay. The gite is small but plenty room for two with all the equipment and facilities you may require. Our host left us to make use of the terrace and the pool but was available if needed. We wanted away from the busy coast but with easy access and Vence was the perfect location. The old part of Vence is lovely to explore with lots of restaurants. Plenty to see in the surrounding area and we enjoyed a few walks. Recommended for two staying.

The accommodation lacked for nothing. The pool was beautiful, which we had to ourselves virtually all the time. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was very welcome when it was hot. The satellite tv was also a great addition . The location is perfect for a short walk into Vence Overall we enjoyed a first class holiday with Richard and Anne, who were without doubt perfect hosts . Thoroughly recomended

Charming and comfortable gite
We loved our stay in this delightful gite. Our only regret was that it was only one week. We would have been happy to stay for longer. Anne and Richard could not have been more welcoming and helpful, offering lots of useful advice on where to eat and places to visit. The gite itself is just as shown in the photographs, offering all the creature comforts you would expect and the bonus of English language tv to watch while relaxing.

A truly wonderful relaxing idyll!
We stayed in Richard and Anne's cottage for a week and from the moment we arrived we felt so warmly welcomed. The cottage is beautiful and we wouldn't have wanted to change a thing. We had everything we needed including a washing machine, a real treat as we had already been travelling for a week before we got to Vence. The bedroom is light and airy, with loads of cupboard space and the bed is so comfortable. We slept extremely well throughout our stay. The wet room is roomy and the shower itself was fantastic. There were lovely white fluffy towels and Richard and Anne also supplied towels for the pool. The sitting area outside was great and it has a bbq! We only used the pool on one day of our holiday (which is fabulous) as we wanted to explore the area as much as possible. There are so many great places to visit. It was lovely to be able to walk to the little supermarket and to be able to walk into Vence and enjoy a meal and a glass of wine and walk home again. We visited Vence of course, which we love, but we also went to Nice (several times), Éze, Tourette sur Loup and went walking in the surrounding mountains. We used the bike hire in Nice to cycle along the Promenade des Anglaise, we used the bus to Éze from Nice. (Éze is very touristy which we weren't keen on), but the bus ride with its spectacular coastal view and the climb up to the botanical gardens is well worth it for the amazing views. We went to the cinema at Polygone Riviera https://www.polygone-riviera.fr/cinema some British films are shown with French subtitles just look for VO which indicates Version Originale. All in all our week flew by and we really didn't want to leave and wished we booked a fortnight instead of a week. We thank Richard and Anne for making our stay so wonderful, their kindness and generosity was very much appreciated. We would dearly love to come back. Merci beaucoup, au revior, à bientôt! xxx

Wonderful vacation in a lovely place
We have just spent 2 wonderful weeks in Richard's lovely annex, and we only have praise for the stay. The annex is the perfect size for 2 adults. The annex is positioned a bit in the shade, which means it doesn't get too hot, or at least it cools down quickly. We were there for 2 weeks in July with around 30˚C every day. Often, it was enough to create circulation by opening 2 small windows (equipped with mosquito nets) to keep it cool at night. Otherwise, it was possible to turn on the air conditioning. Everything in the annex is chosen with a loving hand, from furniture and interior to the bed and bed linen, which are of the highest quality. The pool area was lovely and the garden was truly beautiful. We had most of our meals on the lovely terrace where we could seek shade under the pavilion. We spent many pleasant moments there eating, reading, playing cards, and just enjoying the special French nature and atmosphere that we value so much. If we didn't choose to cook ourselves, we went down to the town, where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and bars, often with live music. As a host, Richard is discreet but extremely friendly and helpful. It is very clear that he loves his beautiful place and takes good care of it. We definitely want to come back another time.
