About this property
Maison Azur 17th Century House Private Garden Great View No car needed broadband
Luxuriously equipped this is a home from home.Now with FIBRE BROADBAND .Beautiful private garden with amazing panoramic views of the provencal hills and down towards the sea,ideal for eating alfresco or just enjoying a glass of wine.You could stay tucked away from it all and never leave the house if so desired -other than to do the shopping. French doors lead from the garden to the well furnished chefs kitchen with dishwasher ,fridge freezer,oven and dual fuel hob also a good variety pots pans cutlery etc. This opens to a large dining and sitting area around the feature fireplace.The downstairs bathroom is a good size with toilet and basin only,this also houses the washing machine and drier. There is a good quality separate music system with radio and CDs on this floor also modem which works the wifi through the house and in to the garden also a Spanish guitar if you fancy a strum. First floor large salon/bedroom with Moroccan double four-poster bed and cosy log effect electric fire,leather sofa,Moroccan iron sofa and antique chair.There is also a walk in wardrobe with storage space.We have a 50 inch hd TV with a large selection of blu rays and DVDs.Also a good and varied selection of novels and reference books. Mezzanine floor with king sized brass bed,armoir,chest of drawers ,chair.The bathroom has a large marble tiled walk in shower,toilet and basin,with a plentiful supply of hot water. HIGH SPEED FIBRE to the house 450 meg.A rental car is definately not needed as public transport is so good and cheap- read the reviews,I dont often use buses in the uk but here it makes sense.The ability to enjoy eating and drinking out in the garden with such lovely views and not rent a car could save you 500 euros a week.

Great location to use as a base for exploring the whole area. Definitely no car is required. Navette bus to the town ran every 15 minutes. From the town, lots of buses and trains. The house has a lovely terrace with an expansive view and you can see the ocean at a distance. Unfortunately this time of year there was not much sun which would have been nice for the chillier days. The house is comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and the washer/dryer worked well. Beware that the stairs to go up to the third floor bedroom require care as they are very narrow and steep. All in all a good experience. Simon responded promptly to all communication.
A unique chance to stay in a 17th Century cottage in the medieval town in Cagnes-Sur-Mer. Lovely location amongst the narrow streets of historic homes, but be warned, it (like most such old towns) is built on the hill, leading up to the Chateau, so there are climbs up and down steep streets.
Comfortable, fabulous views on spacious patio with plenty of seating, has all necessary amenities, Simon is a great host and is very responsive. Free bus to and from Cagnes-sur-Mer - bus 44 goes in one direction, round trip, departs from Square Bourdet in town - your stop for easy access to the house is Sous Barri, it’s one after Le Manoir near the Chateau. Pretty easy walk down to town, steep road back up to the house. We stayed for 2 weeks, would stay there again! Thanks Simon***

Very glad you enjoyed your stay and a pleasure communicating with you.
It is a marvellous house with an incredible view. Sitting on the terrace with the flowers is wonderful. Be aware that the bedrooms are not separated by a door. Also the bed on the first floor is quite small so not perfectly suitable for tall adults. The kitchen is well equipped. The shuttle bus works really well. 44 square bourdet, stop for the house is sous barri. The house is just a few steps down. Good communication with the host Simon! We can recommend it!
The approach to this property is the steepest I have ever experienced, but the peace, quiet, fascinating views and facilities at the end make it worth the effort. Everything is as described and this was a great base for exploring the local area via the cheap and regular public transport.

Very glad we have the free minibus that circles the village ,so that hill climb on foot is now a rare event.
We had a lovely time in this beautiful, characterful property. The large terrace (with its beautiful views) is a huge bonus. Haut de Cagnes is spectacular and it’s ever so easy to pop to the shops in Cagnes sur Mer or to the beach, either on foot or by using the free shuttle busses. The central bus station in Cagnes is very handy if you want to explore Nice, Antibes, Cannes, Vence etc. We had a really great time!
A perfect month in a most comfortable and charming house
This property fits in so well with the surroundings and the experience of being on the Côte d’Azur. It has been standing for hundreds of years so it has historical charm yet offers a modern quality as it has all the amenities (appliances, kitchenware, etc..)one needs to be have a very comfortable stay. We could not have been more satisfied with our choice.
Very nice vacation residence a hop and a jump away from Nizza, Cannes, Antibes
We enjoyed our late summer/early fall (Oct 22) stay in this lovely residence very much. The house is extremely well equipped (kitchen, household, bath, garden items), has a gorgeous view from the terrace and a very strong WLAN/Wifi ! In the summer and until the end of October it can be easily reached by public transportation from Nizza and Cagnes-sur-Mer has good connection to lovely places close by. Arriving with car in particular with small children or elderly persons not well walking uphill should seek the advice of the very friendly host, Simon, since the property is close to the castle and thus on the hill.. We had a great time !

Thanks for the review im very glad you enjoyed your stay.I am pleased to say the free mini bus and cheap public transport run all year round with an additional free mini bus to the beach in summer.
A delightful area and house, but with a caveat of exceptional steep hill to access. Public transport was easy to use and we were able to visit local areas. For a self catering house a microwave would have been advantageous. Outside area has a great view, but let down by the garden area which needed tidying and housed loads of mosquitoes making it uncomfortable to sit out early evening.
But everything considered it is a lovely place to stay.
This property is a real find....more a home-from-home than just a holiday rental....and with such Provençal style.The house is very well positioned on the slope facing the Renoir house on the opposite hill (a visit, a must! Buy the combined ticket for the house, and the Grimaldi Chateau in Haut de Cagnes, which is also well worth a visit).The 'navette' (free bus, No 44) is useful for the journey back up the hill with shopping (great market in Cagnes, and Intermarché just down the hill). Once your shopping is 'home', very well-equipped kitchen to cook it in!Simon the owner was very helpful, before and after arrival. We particularly found the hifi in the downstairs kitchen/sitting area useful.This is a lovely peaceful spot in, what can be a village busy with traffic and visitors....a haven to which we looked forward to returning after a day out.....so many things to see within the range of local buses - but beware the ticketting arrangement can be confusing; we bought a card from the driver on the 620 from opposite the airport which costs 4 each, and contains a deposit on the card and one journey. The card can be 'loaded' at many stops, but we went to the bus office at Cagnes sur Mer railway station to do it. Other places outside the range of the card can be reached by the Zou busses for which single tickets can be bought from the driver for 2.50.We hope to return next year.

Beautiful House in fabulous location
Maison Azur is a beautiful and comfortable house in a stunning location. The view from the terrace is fabulous. The medieval village is a great place to stay. The beach and new town are a short walk or shuttle away and then you can retreat to the quiet of Haut Cagnes- a rare spot of tranquility on the riviera! The village square, a short walk up a (very steep!) hill is lovely- good number of excellent restaurants, pétanque pitches, children’s playground and wonderful view. We did train trips to Villefranche sur mer and Beaulieu sur mer- easy and cheap on the train and both beautiful. Villefranche in particular very unspoiled. We also went to Juan les Pins for a day on the lovely sand beach. Perfect location to explore the area. We will definitely be back. Thankyou Simon and Maura!

The perfect spot for relaxation and sightseeing.
The house is an absolute delight to stay in. It was spotlessly clean and felt just like a proper home. I had the choice of 2 bedrooms and chose the 1st floor, slept like a baby with the windows wide open - not a sound at night!
There is everything you need to cook proper meals - although there is a large choice of restaurants in walking distance. DON'T bring a car - no need public transport is so easy and cheap. The garden is lovely , very private with an amazing view. The sun goes off the garden around 4p.m. leaving a wonderful cool spot to enjoy the evening. I was here on my own to relax and do some work and the house and the town felt completely safe, all locals very friendly.
I hope to come again as this town and house have found a special place in my heart, a wonderful find. Thank you so much for sharing your home with me.

Thanks for the positive feedback ,we are looking forward to a few glasses of rose under the orange tree in a few weeks.Hope you can get out again sometime soon ,we are always up for a deal if its a last minute thing and the house is free ,the garden and pots are wonderful but need regular watering especially in the summer.
The house is situated in a beautiful location within the medieval village of Hauts de Cagnes. It is centrally located between Nice and Cannes and a car is not needed as there is such a good public network system either by bus or train. The property was clean (we loved the decoration) and extremely well equipped with cooking utensils etc plus books, DVDs and music should you need to have a rest from visiting the all the sites on the Côtes d’Azur. The terrace is a great place to eat, drink, read and relax. You even have a view of Renoir’s garden across the valley. There is a supermarket not too far from the house for all your shopping needs plus the market. We used the free shuttle every day and it is really very convenient. Cagnes sur Mer has a village feel to it. People are very friendly and there are lots of different restaurants to chose from. We ate twice at the Thai restaurant near the market. The food was fresh and of good quality. There was excellent communication with the owners from start to finish and we would not hesitate to book this property again
The area the house is in is the medieval village of Haut de Cagner in Cagners sur Mer. Not recommended for those with mobility issues as the streets are steep and mostly cobbled. Which is too bad as Maison d'Azur is a stylish modernized house with a lovely patio and great views. The house is fully equipped with several comfortable seating areas, a nice bathroom with shower and heat as well as a ground floor toilet room with laundry facilities. Our stay was in the during the late winter. Still cool enough that heating was required. Heating is available but it did struggle with achieving a comfortable temperature. In the summer and shoulder months the location would be lovely given the outdoor spaces. That being said it is a very nice vacation rental, we'll equipped, comfortable, clean, atmospheric, and well located. Conveniently there is a free shuttle bus that runs 3 times an hour that drops you only a few yards from your door. A bonus.
Das Maison Azur befindet sich in einer wunderbaren Lage oberhalb von Cagnes-sur-Mer und knapp unterhalb des Schlosses, das über allem thront. Man muss also immer ein bisschen kraxeln. Das Haus ist sehr toll und originell eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man braucht.Es ist beheizbar (wir waren Ende März dort) und die Krönung des Ganzen ist die fantastische Terrasse. Der Kontakt zu Simon war freundlich und schnell und wir haben das Anwesen problemlos gefunden. Von der Wohnung aus lassen sich viele Dinge zu Fuß erwandern. Selbst zur Fondation Maeght gibt es einen 5,8 km langen Wanderweg.Wie sind nur sehr ungern wieder abgereist.
Sehr schönes Haus mit wunderschöne Terrasse mit Blumengarten direkt im Old town.
Gastgeber Simon ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Lage ist top.
Ist empfehlenswert für diejenigen, die echte Südfrankreich erleben wollen
In echt franse setting, het huis en tuin van alles ruimschoots voorzien, alles prima, één nadeel: de zon maar tot 10 uur in de ochtend op het huis in oktober!
Una vera e propria casa delle vacanze da usare come base per esplorare spiagge e cittadine della costa azzurra.

About the host
Hosted by Simon H
Why they chose this property
It was love at first site ,but not what we had come out looking for at all.Great and very rare to have a garden in the village ,its lovely to sit and survey the surrounding countryside and the lights of Nice at night.It also saves a lot of money to be able to eat outside with your own food and wine and not feel you have to go out.So glad we bought in this location as absolutely everything is to hand and no car is needed as the public transport is so good and cheap and so close to the airport.
What makes this property unique
The house is in a great position easy access to everything but very little traffic noise,unlike our first stay in the village.Its a quick stroll to the shops or bars.Lovely view from the garden which we couldn't do without.Furnished and decorated to live in not just your typical holiday let
