Lovely two weeks. Perfectly situated in a quiet spot. We had everything we needed in the house. Particularly enjoyed having the outside space. A very restful time

Hello Paul, just to say thanks for the lovely feedback you sent following your stay at Maison Gardenia, we've passed it on to Sandra and hope to welcome you back another time! Kind regards, Paul
My family and I stayed at this house for almost two weeks, and we really enjoyed the stay. The house is well kept ad clean, and it is very comfortable for a family of four. In addition, the air conditioning worked quite well, which is important during the warm Cote d'Azur summer weather. Walking to the old town and the beach was easy, but do be prepared for a hike up the hill when returning to the house (the house is situated toward the top of the hill, just the topography of the town). I would easy stay here again and I hope I have the opportunity again sometime.

Hi Brian
Just to say thanks for the lovely review we're delighted you enjoyed the Maison Gardenia and Sandra and I both hope to welcome you back another time! Kind regards, Paul
Super accueil et disponibilité de la gérante soucieuse du service au client. Dommage pour les nuisances de trvx de rénovation d'un petit immeuble à proximité.Les extérieurs mériteraient d'être réaménagé : installation d'un store à la place du parasol (en fin de vie) et un véritable salon de jardin confortable pour 4 personnes (la table ronde est vraiment limite pour 4 personnes adultes).

Hello Daniel, thanks for the great review and we're delighted you appreciated our services. Indeed what a shame you encountered building noise during your stay, unfortunately work that was supposed to be completed by the end of May was ongoing until the end of your week. We were pleased to offer you a gesture which you kindly accepted. Regarding the exteriors we will ask the owner to improve them for next year. We hope to welcome you back !
