About this property

Charming 1 bedroom-apartment in medieval village, 1 hour from Nice

The apartment is located on the third and fourth floors of a house dating from the 17th century. The house stands above the Var River next to the old drawbridge that is the main entrance into the village. During the day you can look down at the river, at night you hear its soft sounds. The living room and kitchen are on the third floor, the bedroom and bathroom are on the fourth floor.
The living room features oak ceiling beams, built-in cabinets, a marble fireplace and the traditional tile tile floor of Provence. It is furnished with antiques, contains a TV, radio and a good amount of books in English, German and French including dictionaries. The sofa pulls out into a comfortable queen-size bed. Two large windows face south and give a view of the river, the plaza and the mountainside across the river.
The kitchen is small but equipped with all modern conveniences: refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, stove and baking oven.
The bedroom is very cozy with its damask covered walls. It has two twin beds.
The bathroom with its small pink and gray features the typical deep European bathtub with a shower attachment.
All windows have double panes.
It is ideal for 2 people but with the pull out sofa in the living room, 2 children would also have a place to sleep and be comfortable.

Beautiful stay, amazing village

We had a great time in Nick's property in Entrevaux - which is a beautiful village easily accessible from Nice. The flat is amazing with loads of character and incredible views over the river. Be aware there's no aircon so it does get warm (though there is a fan) and also be aware that it's single beds (but they were really comfy!) Entrevaux is a great place, very peaceful and calm (most things were closed by 9pm, which we were fine with, but definitely something to note if you're after anything late night). Nick was a great host and gave us some beautiful recommendations for incredible swimming places around the village. We loved it - would definitely stay again.

in historischer Umgebung

die Wohnung liegt direkt neben dem Torturm in Entrevaux. Der Ort ist absolut sehenswert und liegt ideal an der Route des Pinienzapfenzuges und zentral zu einer Reihe schöner Ausflüge in die Berge. Alleine die Aussicht aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster auf den Fluss und den gegenüber liegenden Platz könnte man stundenlang genießen. Die Räume sind gemütlich eingerichtet und es war sehr erholsam dort. Uns fehlte ein Internetzugang (z.B. zur Information über Öffnungszeiten von Museen) und wir bemängeln die Qualität des Fernsehers (wir wollten das Fußballspiel Frankreich/Deutschland sehen). Das Bild ruckelte und blieb oft stehen. Ein "aufgepeppter" Analogfernseher ist hierzu halt nicht ausreichend! Auch der Kühlschrank müsst erneuert werden, er kühlte kaum, was bei sommerlichen Temperaturen problematisch ist. Der Gefrierschrank ist defekt. Wir beneiden den Besitzer um diese Wohnung - nicht aber um die Unterhaltskosten in einem so alten Gebäude.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Detsch

Host profile image
I am a native of Germany and have lived in the U.S. since 1974. My husband, a retired professor of German, and I have always spent much time traveling in Europe. When he retired, we had all of a sudden more time, more leisure, more freedom. That's why we decided to buy a small apartment in the south of France, so we could stay for as long as we wanted.

Why they chose this property

Why not get a place in Germany rather than France? We really love the south of France, the wine, food and the slow pace of life, and we wanted to improve our French. (I am still struggling.) Also, real estate in Entrevaux was very reasonable at the time, and the airport in Nice is just a quick trip away. It's easy to fly anywhere from there.

What makes this property unique

Entrevaux is different from Nice and many other villages because it is so authentic, so French. The locals go about their way as usual, tourists come during the day and leave at night. There is a peace about the place that is hard to find in other areas, and you are surrounded by history and dramatic nature.
