A brilliant place to stay

The loft is a very special place to stay. It has been very thoughtfully designed, with all creature comforts, yet in such a historic building. The location is superb - everything you need on the doorstep. I’d love to come back and can highly recommend.

An Apartment in the Middle of History!

Ideal location if you love a historical setting with all modern amenities. We spent a lot of time on the terrace overlooking the mountains – beautiful sunrise to accompany an early breakfast and pinkish skies at cocktail hour! Loved it!

Great location, spacious, but needs better care

The location of the loft is ideal for those who want to be in the old city of Vence. it is steps away from one of the main city doors, and steps away from great restaurants and shops. The loft has a spacious living room with an open kitchen, which has good amenities. the bedroom is cramped. The views from the living room are great. the terrace upstairs has beautiful views, but it gets very hot during the day, and is hard to access, with spiral, narrow stairs. On the negative side, the loft is dusty, and could use better cleaning. I did quite a bit of cleaning the first couple of days to try to get rid of the smell (and it helped). The pillows in the bedroom were old and smelly, so we ended up buying 3 new ones, which we left in the left. As for parking, we tried to find the 7 euros one but did not succeed; however, an older gentleman told us to avoid it anyway, because it is not monitored and his mirror was broken in it. Best is to park in one of the main lots (Toreille, Jardin), then go to the office at level -1 in Jardin and get the weekly pass for 55 euros, unlimited entries. In our case, Toreille did not have any weekly passes left, so we had to stay at Jardin. Note that you are pretty much on your own. The agent arranged for us to pick up the key from her father, who lives nearby, but we never saw her. Basic questions like where do we throw the garbage took her more than 24 hours to answer. when we left, we had to throw the key inside her dad's home because no one was there to take it from us.

Nytelse i Vence

Schöne Lage aber ungenügender Service

Bei diesem Preis war es eine ungenügende Leistung. Objekt war nicht sauber, für die Sonnenterrasse gab es keinen Sonnenschirm. Die Polster waren alt, schmierig und rochen schlecht. Zum Einchecken mussten wir mehrmals anrufen bis uns der Schüssel gebracht wurde. Lage ist super, Objekt mittelmässig

We admired the way this apartment has been renovated.

The architecture and choice of materials and furniture is uniq. Makes you feel very comfortable and "at home". The view fra the terrace is wonderful and the short distance to everything in Vence, including a P-house, makes this apartment perfect.

Schön renovierte Altbauwohnung mitten in lebhaftem Künstlerstädtchen

Wir haben hier mit unseren beiden Kindern den Sommerurlaub verbracht und die Wohnung als Ausgangspunkt für Exkursionen im Raum Nizza genommen. Vence ist wirklich ein Traum und dabei anders als St. Paul de Vence nicht zu sehr touristisch geprägt. Nach unserem Eindruck nutzen auch viele Einheimische das Städtchen für abendliche Ausflüge. Mehrfach in der Woche gibt es einen schönen Markt auf der place du grand jardin; auch sonst finden sich zuhauf Geschäfte für die täglichen Besorgungen einschließlich eines Leclerc-Supermarktes. Die Ateliers und Galerien im Ort fanden wir sehr ansprechend. Wenn man es einmal nicht ans Mittelmeer schafft, kann man im netten Freibad des Örtchens schwimmen gehen, das fußläufig zu erreichen ist. Ein Auto ist von Vorteil, aber man kann auch mit Bus und Bahn an die Küstenorte der Riviera gelangen. Auf der Dachterrasse der Wohnung konnten wir die Tage mit wunderschönem Blick auf die Berglandschaft bei Pizza und einem Glas Wein ausklingen lassen. Aufgrund der funktionierenden Klimaanlage war die Temperatur in der Wohnung trotz hochsommerlicher Hitze angenehm. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

lovely apartment, wonderful location

Really lovely apartment just inside the old city, so steps from all the action. Beautiful views from living room and upper terrace. Ubiquitous mopeds and revving motorcycles made it a necessity at times to have the windows closed, but the double paned windows did well at muting the noise. Owner responsive and helpful. Finding free parking was a challenge on most days, but we ultimately found one every day for two weeks.

Spacious comfortable apartment with stunning views

Being built in the walls of the old town this apartment has lots of charm and the views of the mountains from it are stunning. While we stayed the weather was unusually wet but as the apartment had all of the facilities we required and was very spacious the bad weather did not really cause a problem. There are many places of interest in the town only a short walk from the flat which we would recommend including Matisse’s chapel, the cathedral and the food shops in the old town along Rue du Marche. We would stay again.

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung

Phantastische Lage, Wohnung extravagant, stylish aber dennoch wohnlich und gemütlich, sehr sauber, ruhig, gut ausgestattet, kleine Terrasse mit spektakulärem Ausblick (und ebenso spektakulärem "Aufstieg"). Kleine Wohlfühloase! Beste Lage für Ausflüge an die Cote d'Azur und ins Bergland.

Schönes Loft in der Altstadt

Die Lage ist sehr schön: direkt über der Stadtmauer in der Altstadt, also "mittendrin" und trotzdem ruhig. Der Koch-/Wohnbereich des Lofts ist großzügig und mit allem eingerichtet, was man so braucht. Die kleine Dachterrasse bietet wunderbare Ausblicke und ist für das Glas Wein am Abend ideal. Negativ anzumerken: dass das Loft innerhalb der Altstadtmauern ist und deshalb nicht direkt mit dem PKW angefahren werden kann (Gepäck!) haben wir erst unmittelbar vor der Anreise erfahren. Ein Hinweis darauf, dass der Zugang zur Dachterrasse über eine sehr enge und steile Wendeltreppe erfolgt (für ältere Menschen, kleine Kinder vollkommen ungeeignet), wäre wünschenswert gewesen. Einige Ausstattungsteile waren unbrauchbar (Pfannen) und die Sauberkeit hätte insgesamt besser sein können. - Die gute Ferienstimmung hat uns über das alles aber hinwegsehen lassen und hatten trotzdem sehr schöne Tage hier verbracht.

Fantastic - perfect location

My wife and I spent a long weekend here in March and got lucky with the weather, which was high teens every day. The apartment is located in the centre of Vence but is tucked away back from the main shops, restaurants etc, giving it a private, quiet feel. Within 2 minutes walk of the nearest convenience shop, restaurant, bar and boulangerie, it couldn't be better situated. Then there is the terrace and the incredible views over the foothills of the Alps one way and a teasing glimpse of the Med in the other - perfect for a croissant and a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Bizarrely, despite being in a town the terrace is not overlooked at all and is therefore very private. All in all a great stay and we will be back! Thanks to the owners

About the host

Hosted by Jane Moser

Host profile image
We are based in the UK and we spend many holidays in Vence with our children. We love the swimming pool in Vence, the beaches at Cagnes sur Mer, nearby villages St Jeannet and Tourettes sur Loup. We love the restaurants, markets and general hubbub of Vence life.

Why they chose this property

An excellent bolt hole at the heart of the Cote d'Azur. Vence is a lively town and is ideally located for the coast and for the nearby towns of Grasse, St Jeannet, St Paul, Nice, Cannes, Antibes. With many fabulous Michelin stared restaurants a mere 2 minute walk from the apartment and a super market every Tuesday and Friday, you won't go hungry.

What makes this property unique

Modernised 2010 - brand new bathroom and fully fitted kitchen. Oven and induction hob, dishwasher and washing machine. The apartment is air conditioned and has a super terrace that overlooks the mountains. The terrace is completely private and is not overlooked.
