About this property

Entire spacious house with roof terrace - Vence centre

A delightful 18th Century town house in the heart of the medieval village of Vence. Situated down a quiet side street, it is only a few steps away from the local farmers market in the morning, the delicious smelling bakeries and the main square cafés (Place du Grand Jardin). There is also a public underground car park within a 1 minute walk from the house.

Owned by the same family for two generations this cosy french town house has kept it's original stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings and has local art throughout. It is on 5 floors with a spacious and bright open plan salon and kitchen on the 4th floor with all the necessary amenities (WIFI/TV , large dining table, Electric stove and oven) for relaxing and entertaining.

It has two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom and toilet, the other with 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 (sized suitable for 2 children to share or one adult and a child).

The fifth floor has a small tranquil roof terrace with marble table & chairs overlooking the provencal rooftops with mountain/sea views. Ideal for a bit of sunbathing, finishing a good book or enjoying a glass of Rosé at aperitif time in the cool evening 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 subscription.
Vence also has regular buses to all the “must see” destinations of the Cote d'Azur. St Paul de Vence for the Arts, Grasse for it's perfumeries, Cannes for the Croisette and beaches and Nice for an authentic Southern France City day out. Centrally positioned and only half an hour from the International Airport Vence is an ideal base for visiting the French Riviera!

Great location
We’ll deal with the cons first because the pros outweigh them. The interior is looking a bit tired, the linen and bedding needs replacing especially the pillows! It would be helpful to have a shower curtain in the en-suite bathroom to make showering a little easier! The carpet in the second bedroom needs removing or replacing as it’s ruffled and looks tired. The pros were a lovely terraced house on 4 floors in a fantastic location, metres from restaurants, bars, bakeries and the centre of town. The roof terrace was a joy for sitting out and where we ate and enjoyed a glass of rosé most nights on our 2 week stay. Car parking was available within 100 metres and we paid 80€ for 2 weeks (same price for a month). Easy run into the airport and local buses available 400 metres away. Tourist office on the square is great for information. The municipal swimming pool was close by and was a great way to cool off. Many thanks to the owners for paying promptly for an extra fan needed in the ground floor bedroom. We had a great stay in beautiful Vence.

Great apartment in the centre of Vence
We had a great a week here. The apartment is right in the heart of Vence and close to many wonderful places to eat and drink in the town. Great bakeries in the morning within 2 minutes walk. Vence is a small town and easy to walk around and within short drives of St Paul de Vence, Nice, Antibes, and the rest of the Riviera. We stayed in late July / early August and overlapped with the Festival Nuits du Sud a Vence where there the centre square turns into a stage and a couple of good acts play each evening. If you enjoy music, I'd recommend aligning your visit with this. We also had great music in some of the little squares in Vence on the other evenings whilst having dinner.

Nice property in a very good location.
We stayed in the house in Vence for one week in July. The house was clean and comfortable, nicely furnished and suited us fine. We were able to explore Vence as the house was situated right in the centre of the town, this said, it was a peaceful location as well so best of both worlds. The house does have a lot of stairs so I don't think it would be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Good property though, in a great area with plenty to do and see and a lovely French town to feel part of.

A beautiful house (LOTS of stairs) close to the cafes and open air pool
The house is stunning (huge beams and tasteful decor) and comfortable, though set over so many floors you need to be fit! The roof terrace is amazing; you can see the sea and hills and catch the breeze, pull out the awning or enjoy sunbathing in private. Despite such proximity to the buzz of the town it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed was supplied and easy to use. I would absolutely recommend this property for families (possibly not toddlers because of the stairs), couples or friends sharing.

We are an English family from Nottinghamshire, and my sister and I first started coming to Vence for summer with our parents around 20 years ago. We have been coming back to the town for holidays every year since!

Why they chose this property

This is a tasteful and spacious townhouse which is full of French charm, with very central location (just behind the main Place du Grand Jardin) and a short walk to the town centre and local shops, restaurants, bars and galleries. You don't need a car to get around. Benefits from a rooftop terrace/patio with views over the mountains and to the sea in the distance.

What makes this property unique

This is a tasteful and spacious townhouse which is full of French charm, with very central location (just behind the main Place du Grand Jardin) and a short walk to the town centre and local shops, restaurants, bars and galleries. You don't need a car to get around.

There is plenty of space in the house to relax, wine and dine with friends and family, with a large table and lovely adjoining kitchen. The salon is in traditional French open plan style with stone walls, beams and traditional pendant lighting, with fireplace, sofa/settee and TV.

This leads 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 another. We often retreat there for a drink and to eat in the cool evening air!
