Staying at the Villa Mignonne was absolutely the best experience I have had on a vacation. My two sisters and I, took my mom to stay at the Villa for her 80th birthday, for 2 weeks. The reason we picked this house, was my family had lived in this house in the early 60’s, my dad was in the Navy stationed in near-by Ville Franche. The Villa and St. Jean hold many special memories for my family.
The Villa is as described: clean; newly renovated; great location; spectacular views; owner was responsive and helpful; washing machine (big bonus); I will definitely return and recommend; and lastly the Villa photos are accurate, but the house and views in person are much superior.
There are plenty of restaurants, a grocery store, a butcher shop, and bakery within an easy 2-3 block walk from the house. The beaches are nearby, and there is a trail that runs the circumference of St. Jean, with breathtaking views everywhere you look. We walked the entire Cap, and also walked frequently from St. Jean to Beaulieu. All trails had beautiful views all around.
We rented a car, and able to park in front of the house 90% of the time. St. Jean is centrally located to many local cities, we drove to Nice multiple times, Grasse, Gourdon, St Paul De Vence and Monaco. We took the train to Italy.
I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
