About this property
Spacious townhouse with roof terrace, situated in Vence centre
Our delightful 18th Century town house can be found in the very heart of the medieval town of Vence, conveniently situated just a few minutes walk away from the central Place du Grand Jardin. Within a couple of minutes, you will be able to witness the daily morning local farmers market, purchase fresh bread from the delicious smelling bakeries and sample the delights on offer at the many cafes, bars and restaurants Vence has to offer.
Owned by the same family for two generations, this cosy town house has retained its original stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings throughout. The accommodation is spread over 5 floors, with a spacious and bright open plan living area and kitchen on the 3rd floor comprising a dining and seating area for relaxing and entertaining and a fully equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob. The house benefits from Wifi, television and an electric stove.
Bedroom one (2nd floor) has a kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom and toilet whilst bedroom two (1st floor) has twin beds that can convert into a double bed if desired, with an en-suite shower room and toilet. In the downstairs lounge on the ground floor, there is a double sofa bed. A child's cot can be provided on request.
The fourth floor has a small but tranquil roof terrace with marble table & chairs overlooking the provencal rooftops with both mountain and sea views. The terrace is an ideal space for breakfast, sunbathing, finishing a good book, an aperitif or enjoying dinner in the evening Vence air.
The closest public car park is a 1 minute walk away (under the Place du Grand Jardin) and has a great deal for a weekly car parking subscription.
Vence is serviced by a comprehensive bus service, linking the town to the local train station at Cagnes Sur Mer and all the “must see” destinations along the Cote d'Azur. St Paul de Vence is renowned for its Art, Grasse for its perfumeries, Cannes for the Croisette and its beaches and Nice for its markets and an authentic South of France City day out.
Centrally positioned and only half an hour from Nice International Airport, Vence really is an ideal base for visiting the French Riviera!

About the host
Hosted by James & Jill Phinn
We are an English family from Nottinghamshire. My sister and I first started visiting Vence for our summer holidays with our parents around 30 years ago. We have been coming back to the area for our holidays every year since and now we enjoy our holidays with our children!
Why they chose this property
Vence offers so many options for visitors of all ages - it is simply beautiful! We love the light - it is amazing, loved by artists for generations. The views from the hillside allows you to see the Var and the mountain ranges around Vence, along with views all the way down to the sea.
With a mix of traditional and modern, there really is something for everyone in Vence. The town host an amazing array of events from Fetes du Paques, to the Night Markets and Nuits du Sud. There are so many things to do and see - from beaches to shopping, art exhibitions to walking and broccantes to fine dining, there really is so much choice.
The town boasts an outdoor swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in the summer sun.
Perhaps the best thing about Vence is that everything is on your doorstep and just a walk away!
What makes this property unique
We're biased, but we think 32 Rue Massena is a wonderful place to stay! It is a tasteful, typical French townhouse, with many of its original features still in situ, complemented by art from the local area. It has a quiet location, but it it just a couple of minutes walk from the main Place du Grand Jardin, giving it easy access to the shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries and the many 'town' events organised by the Vence Office de Tourisme.
You don't need a car to get around with the fabulous bus service, taking you to the local train station in Cagnes Sur Mer or the surrounding towns and villages.
The house offers plenty of space to enjoy time in the South of France with family and friends. The main open plan living area or salon is the ideal place to relax, dine and entertain with a large table, seating area and fully equipped kitchen. The salon has stone walls, wooden beams and traditional pendant lighting, with fireplace, settee and TV.
From the salon, stairs lead up to a roof terrace - rare amongst townhouses in Vence - looking out over the rooftops of the old town, and over to the Baou mountains in one direction and the distant sea in the other. The roof terrace is the perfect spot for breakfast, sun bathing, an aperitif or a relaxed meal in the evening and adds a wonderful versatility to the space offered by the house - we often retreat there for a drink and to eat in the cool evening air!
