Insider Tips

“

The greatest advantage of this house is its proximity to the beach - a mere 4-minute drive or less than 10 minutes' walk along a cobbled path. Within 400 metres of the villa you have the old lighthouse of La Garoupe and the lovely church called Chapelle des Amoureux. From the square you can admire a stunning vista over Cap d'Antibes, Les Iles de Lerins (a short boat trip from Juan les Pins takes you there), the bay of Cannes and Antibes old town with its ramparts. A few minutes' drive takes you to Port Vauban in Antibes, which is the Riviera's largest port with its 16th century Fort Carre offering stunning 360-degree views over the port and Antibes old town. In the evening you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of Juan les Pins, a renowend seaside resort. If you like walking, you can go to La Garoupe beach 2kms away and walk for miles along the seashore. If you are looking for a nice restaurant, Le Bacon is only 750 metres from your villa!
