Wonderful villa
We had a wonderful week. The villa location is perfect and within a short drive to all the amazing attractions the area has to offer. Mountains, gorges, lakes, beaches and beautiful towns and villages. The villa is equipped with everything you could need with gorgeous large rooms and wonderful views from the stunning gardens. Loved watching the storms from the terrace the night we arrived.

Perfect stay
We were a group with two older teens and three adults, and all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Villa Gezanne. The house is lovely with plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and well equipped, particularly in the kitchen. Lots of charm throughout the property, beautiful gardens and lovely views of the hills and the sea. We particularly enjoyed the large terrace and sitting in the shade of the magnolia tree next to the pool. The bedrooms are spacious and with good AC, and the mattresses very comfortable . Our welcome was wonderful, and our host was on hand in the house next door, if we needed assistance with anything. There is a good supermarket 3 minutes away in the car, next to a boulangerie and pharmacy, and the coast is around 20-25 minutes away. All made for a relaxing and very easy stay. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you Marian and Briane!

Beautiful large villa with super pool and gardens
We stayed for a week and enjoyed this villa immensely. It is huge and well equipped. Pool was clean and heated enough to make it comfortable for the kids to be in for long periods. Briane and family live adjacent to the villa but quite separate and privacy was assured. Close to a supermarket and 10 mins from beautiful Valbonne. We hope to be back.

Fantastic Villa set in a beautiful Location
We all had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Villa, the only regret was that we only booked one week! The Villa is so spacious, much bigger than you would expect from the photos, with a newly fitted kitchen and ensuite bathrooms to all bedrooms. The terrace with views on to the Mediterranean and Antibe were stunning and the pool and terraced gardens kept the children and adults alike, endlessly entertained. 5 minutes from the supermarket, 5 minutes from the beautiful Biot and 20 minutes drive from the picture perfect town of Antibe. The property Managers Briane and her Mother, who conveniently lives next door, were always on hand to assist when needed, and helped to make sure we had an amazing holiday. We would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a quiet private retreat, located within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of Antibes, Cannes and Nice.

About the host

Hosted by Clare Bulman and Marian Loram

Host profile image
We are an Australian family who have enjoyed, for some years, wonderful holidays with family and friends as tenants at Villa Gezanne.

Why they chose this property

Gezanne came up for sale and we were fortunate to become the new owners. Much to our delight, the previous owners - Marian and her daughter Briane, who had welcomed us so warmly to the property for many years, agreed to continue to greet guests to Gezanne and look after the property. Their local knowledge, kindness and enthusiasm has been wonderful for us and other guests over the years. Marian and Briane live on site in a separate part of the property in the guardian’s flat. We were drawn to Gezanne because of the house's character, spacious garden, history , sizeable pool, pleasant views and its great location - in a quiet secluded area but just a not far from the beach, the village of Biot and Antibes. Gezanne is a great base to explore the Riviera and the Alpes Maritimes and each year we find more and more interesting places to see and things to do.”

What makes this property unique

The rooms are very spacious and light. The house has a welcoming feel to it. The pool is larger than normal for a private villa plus can been heated on request . The garden is large and secluded, with terraces of Olives , Citrus fruits which look stunning when light up at night. The surrounding area is quiet.
