Côte d’Azur: Charming Holiday Home in Le Rayol with Breathtaking Views
This idyllic holiday home sits atop a small hill between the beaches of Le Rayol and Canadel, offering breathtaking 180-degree views of the open sea, the Îles d’Or, and Cap Nègre – home to Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy.
The house features three cozy bedrooms and two bathrooms. The well-equipped kitchen includes a stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee machine, smoothie maker, and more. The spacious garden and various terraces invite you to relax and unwind, depending on your mood.

We had a wonderful stay at the house in Rayol. The house itself is very comfortable, with air conditioning in the bedrooms, a brand new kitchen, and a spectacular view. The walk to the beach is not too long, and the beach itself is very pleasant—not too crowded, with a good restaurant as well.The surroundings of the house are lovely. You will find all kinds of nice little shops, such as a bakery, butcher, and more. For those who enjoy sports, there is plenty to do: swimming, hiking, and cycling in the mountains. You can also rent sailing boats nearby.Last but not least, Daniel, the host, made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come back!
First of all, this place has an amazing view. As far as the living accommodations, they were pretty good. Comfortable beds, air-conditioning, a functional kitchen. Good location. This wasn't my favorite vacation rental because it wasn't stocked and for the price that we paid, we would've appreciated at least some garbage bags, dishwashing pods, or some hand soap. It was annoying to have to go shopping for basic supplies, for the price charged. There were some almost empty bottles of shampoo that we assume other travelers left. They did have a bottle of rosé in the refrigerator, which was nice, but I would've definitely preferred the basic amenities that I mentioned. I also appreciate a Nespresso machine when I go to vacation rental; this unit does not have one. While the kitchen did have a fair amount of tools, there was no bread knife for example, which was annoying. As far as decor, it was not very cohesive or provencal and felt random. There's a big boat stored in the parking area, which makes exiting challenging, and a bin of dirty laundry in the laundry room. For the price I was expecting something a little nicer and more thoughtful touches.

Thanks so much for your review and for highlighting the amazing view and great location!
We are really sorry to hear that you were missing basic supplies like garbage bags, hand soap, and shampoo. It is absolutely our standard to have the home fully stocked with these essentials for our guests, so we are currently looking into what went wrong with our team to make sure this doesn't happen again.
We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the kitchen amenities, the decor, and the parking situation. We're always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and will definitely take your notes on board.
We hope you still enjoyed your time here overall and would love the chance to host you again for a more seamless stay in the future!
Einfach wunderschön!Ein gemütliches und schön eingerichtetes Haus mit atemberaubender 180 Meerblick Terrasse. Ein schöner Strand und Geschäfte für den täglichen Bedarf in Laufweite. Insgesamt ideal für einen schöne und erholsamen Urlaub mit der Familie.
Wir waren leider sehr kurz an diesem wunderschön Ort! Selten haben wir uns so persönlich willkommen geheißen gefühlt! Wir hatten sofortige maximale Entspannung durch den traumhaften Ausblick! Zusätzliche machen die vielen liebevollen Details im Haus und auf der Terrasse sowie die Infomappe und die Ausstattung schon den ersten Urlaubstag perfekt. Die Kommunikation vor Ort mit Madame aber auch mit dem Vermieter war hervorragend unkompliziert und sehr sehr freundlich!Danke !
