We had a  terrific time and were thoroughly satisfied with the accomodation.  Would you  pleas extend our personal thanks to the owners as well for being so considerate.  To say we felt at home would be the understatement of the year. The villa was  everything we could have asked for. If we had any criticism it would just be  that a car was needed to go anywhere, but that really wasn't a major issue.  Perhaps next time we'll choose something closer to a town or  village.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="765384413-30062009"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="765384413-30062009"&gt;You're a great  company to deal with.

Yves St. Laurent, Jean Cocteau, Isadora Duncan, Christian Dior, Winston Churchill and Catherine Deneuve have all called Mougins home at some point in their lives and it was here that Pablo Picasso chose to spend the final fifteen years of his life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though occupied since Roman times, the majority of the village dates from the 15th century when it was the property of the Monks of Saint Honorat from the nearby Iles de Lerins, located just off the coast of Cannes. Nowadays many of the Abbey's former properties, including hundred's of luxury villas and apartments, are available to rent in Mougins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people use the town as a base from which to explore the region and, during the Cannes Film Festival, &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Mougins.htm"&gt;villa rental in Mougins&lt;/a&gt; is big business, with luxury villas only available at premium prices. Fortunately, being blessed with a warm and sunny climate, the Cote d'Azur is a viable destination year round and off-peak &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Mougins.htm"&gt;villa rental in Mougins&lt;/a&gt; is not only affordable, but can provide value for money for people who require more than just a hotel room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Set atop a hill overlooking the bay of Cannes, this former fortified village is also a wonderful destination in itself. Its narrow alleys, cobblestone streets and beautiful vistas give it an air of a movie set perfection that makes it an ideal destination for a romantic break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The beauty of the village is complemented by a wealth of boutiques and cafes, while the more cerebral will enjoy the Museum of Photography which contains work from such famous photographers as Lartique, Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. Just outside of town, on the A8 Autoroute, one can find the Musee de l'Automobile which houses a large number of classic and racing cars including Ferraris and Bugattis, and for the 'sportif' amongst you there are scores of great golf clubs within a short drive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But one can't talk about Mougins without mentioning the food. The village is home to more Michelin rated restaurants than any other region in France. The best known of these is Le Moulin de Mougins, owned by the celebrated chef and writer Roger Verge and considered to be amongst the best restaurants in all of France.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Mougins has a number of good hotels, perhaps the best way to enjoy the area in an authentic a way as possible is by considering using one of the companies that provide &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Mougins.htm"&gt;rental villas in Mougins&lt;/a&gt;. They offer a great choice to suit all budgets and all requirements, whether you are looking for a luxury villa with swimming pool, or a smaller apartment to rent in the centre, Mougins has something for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Getting There:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Air&lt;br /&gt;The region is extremely well served and boasts two nearby airports, Nice Côte d'Azur (15 miles) which serves 10 million passengers a year and Cannes- Mandelieu which serves a more exclusive clientele.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By car&lt;br /&gt;The journey from Paris takes 8 hours via the A8 motorway; from Monaco and Nice, the same road provides access from the opposite direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By rail&lt;br /&gt;The TGV rail services provide access to Cannes from major French cities.

But you should consider that not all of Cote d'Azur is as over-developed and as crowded as Cannes and Nice. In the village of Valbonne, you will find the restful solitude that you may desire on your Cote d'Azur holiday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why Spend a Cote d'Azur Holiday in Valbonne&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a nu&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EgpBXfYy2x0/SYAr2PfkxYI/AAAAAAAAACI/5S-Yej8GGxI/s1600-h/W7%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 143px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EgpBXfYy2x0/SYAr2PfkxYI/AAAAAAAAACI/5S-Yej8GGxI/s400/W7%5B1%5D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296281372659598722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;mber of quiet villages along the Cote d'Azur where you can spend the restful holiday that you are looking for, but why should you pick Valbonne? One big reason to choose Valbonne is that the village is unique and unusual amongst the other villages on the Cote d'Azur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the villages on the Cote d'Azur are built in such a way that they spiral along the side of a hill. Their roadways would therefore twist and meander within the village. But this is not the case with Valbonne. Unlike the other villages, Valbonne is constructed using a grid pattern, just like how the old Roman cities are laid out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This uniqueness of Valbonne is attributed to the fact that Italian artisans built the village in the 15th century. The design of the village is the masterwork of Augustin de Grimaldi, who at the time served as the bishop of Grasse and the abbot of Lerins. The village was established as an attempt to repopulate that portion of the Cote d'Azur after the Black Death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are a history buff, that is probably a fact that you would greatly appreciate, as you spend your holiday on the Cote d'Azur. There are other historical places of interest here in Valbonne, such as:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the town square, which has remained unchanged since the establishment of the village; the Place de Arcades, also found in the Valbonne town centre; and the monastery of the Chalaisian Order, a 12th century edifice built in the Romanesque and Gothic architectural style.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can still enjoy the beauty of Valbonne even if you are not a history buff. Simply spend your Cote d'Azur holiday lounging at the &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Valbonne.htm"&gt;Valbonne villa&lt;/a&gt; that you have rented, take leisurely strolls about the town, or take afternoon hikes on the village's nature trails. You can rent a villa that is near the golf courses located in Valbonne.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Valbonne.htm"&gt;Rent a Villa in Valbonne&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are wondering why you should rent a &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Valbonne.htm"&gt;villa in Valbonne&lt;/a&gt;, here is one good reason. By renting a villa during your stay in Valbonne, you can live the way the locals live, and this is always a great way to spend a holiday on the Cote d'Azur. Moreoever, a &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Valbonne.htm"&gt;villa in Valbonne&lt;/a&gt; will offer more comfort and privacy rather than staying at a hotel. Also, if you are travelling with a group, it may be more economical for you to stay at a villa rather than a hotel on your visit to Valbonne.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if you are not staying at a hotel, you can still use a &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villas%20Valbonne.htm"&gt;Valbonne villa&lt;/a&gt; as a base for the more exciting activities that you can undertake on your vacation.

Renting a villa in Mougins does not cost as much as you might think (have you looked into it?). If you want to hobnob with the movie stars on your holiday on the Cote D'Azur, book a villa in Mougins on the French Riviera just in time for the Cannes Film Festival, and you will get to rub shoulders with the luminaries of the silver screen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, if you want to experience the movie star life for your vacation without the chaos that accompanies film festivals, you can still book your stay at a luxury villa in Mougin during the off-peak season.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EgpBXfYy2x0/SYAsMXbn1LI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qE5G06MsSUU/s1600-h/W9%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 181px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EgpBXfYy2x0/SYAsMXbn1LI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qE5G06MsSUU/s400/W9%5B1%5D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296281752747627698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why Choose a Holiday in Mougins?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may be asking yourself, "Why rent a villa in Mougins?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even when it is not the time for the Cannes Film Festival, Mougins is a beautiful village worthy of a visit in itself. Established by the Monks of St. Honorat in the 15th century, Mougins is a charming, medieval town. It is built on the hilltops of the South of France, with narrow alleyways paved with cobblestones meandering through the village. The vistas alone that you will get to see in Mougins from a room in a villa are real vacation treats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people choose to stay in Mougins rather than in nearby Cannes or Nice. That is because the village is relatively free from the over-development and the commercialism that are sadly rampant in those two other destinations on the Cote d'Azur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those who think that Mougins is just a lazy, quiet town that offers no other excitement aside from the chance of being able to stay in a luxury villa, they are very much mistaken. Mougins, for one, is the home to over 40 world-class restaurants whose cuisine is famous throughout the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photography enthusiasts would be able to enjoy the works of Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau and Lartique in Mougins' Museum of Photography. Automobile enthusiasts, on the other hand, will get their fix from the Musee de l'Automobile, the home of a large collection of classic cars and sports cars, especially Ferraris and Bugattis. For golf lovers, there are a number of beautiful and challenging golf courses around the village. Also, the beach is just a short drive away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As mentioned above, movie stars rent luxury villas for their stay in Mougins during the Cannes Film Festival. Obviously, in staying at a luxury villa for your holiday in Mougins, not only will you be surrounded by beautiful things that you probably would not find at home, but you will also be treated to a high level of comfort that is so desirable during a vacation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only that, your staying at a villa in Mougins can offer you a higher level of privacy and security than reserving a room at a hotel. It can also be more economical to rent a villa if you are going with a group on your holiday in Mougins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let a &lt;a id="link_78" target="_new" href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/"&gt;Mougins villa&lt;/a&gt; on the web with Cote D'Azur Villa Rentals.

In its early days as a hot spot for tourists, the people who came to holiday on the Cote d'Azur were wealthy people, members of the nobility, and members of royal families. One of the most notable royal figures to visit the Cote d'Azur on vacation was Britain's Queen Victoria. She had a vacation twice to the Cote d'Azur during her reign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because most of the people who went to stay at the Cote d'Azur in the olden days were people with money, they only expected the best from their accommodations. Some stayed and built their own vacation houses there. And thus, luxury villas became a la rigeur on the Cote d'Azur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why Holiday at the Cote d'Azur&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is Cote d'Azur a popular holiday destination? In the olden days, as it is now, the place's major drawing points are its warm climate and proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. People living in the colder regions of Europe, such as the United Kingdom, looked forward to the warmth and the abundance of sunshine during their holidays on the Cote d'Azur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seniors with money and with time on their hands love to go on vacation to the Cote d'Azur because the warm climate is kinder to their health and their bones. Because the climate is mild all year round, there are many retirees who choose to live on the Cote d'Azur and be on a holiday that lasts throughout the year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the Cote d'Azur is definitely not a place confined to the older community. Young people love to visit the Cote d'Azur as well. There are many activities on the Cote d'Azur aside from spending the day at the beach. There is always an adventure that can be embarked on when one is on a holiday on the Cote d'Azur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why Rent a Luxury Villa on the Cote d'Azur&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luxury villas are the most desirable places to stay on the Cote d'Azur. Not only are they plentiful, but they are also very affordable accommodations, especially during the off-peak season. Luxury villas on the Cote d'Azur are always snapped up quickly by tourists during summer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On your holiday on the Cote d'Azur, why should you even consider renting a villa? Aside from the affordable prices, as stated above, below are the following advantages of renting a luxury villa Cote d'Azur:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Staying at a luxury villa on the Cote d'Azur offers all the comforts that you can find at home, and probably much more. Many of the luxury villas that you will find on the Cote d'Azur serve as regular homes for the families that own them outside of the holiday season. They are very much lived in and always have the personal touch that is rare to see in a hotel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the luxury villas on the Cote d'Azur are located in strategic places where you can be treated to lovely vistas for which the region is well known. It is always lovely to wake up in the morning to a beautiful view. This experience is likely to be limited if you stay in a hotel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Booking accommodations at a luxury villa during your holiday at the Cote d'Azur will definitely give you more room for privacy and independence. You can come and go as you please, and you will not be subjected to the prying eyes of hotel staff or other hotel guests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rent a &lt;a id="link_97" target="_new" href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/"&gt;Cote D'Azur Villa&lt;/a&gt; on-line direct with Cote D'Azur Villa Rentals.

They chose to plan the village on an ancient Roman grid system, á la New York, making the village unique and unlike other villages in the south of France, which tend to follow the curves of the hills. Valbonne is a charming medieval village inland in the Alpes- Maritimes, north-west of Antibes and to the north of the Provencal autoroute A8. The area, a valley with two streams flowing through it, La Brague and le Merlet, was known in the 12th century as Vallis Bona, "the good valley," which is how Valbonne got its name. The public square, the "forum" of the Roman towns, is at the intersection of the two principal avenues. This extremely attractive square, surrounded by arcades added in the 17th century, has been named Place des Arcades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Valbonne has become increasingly popular with western visitors either buying a home in Valbonne or the surrounding countryside, or coming to rent a villa, or apartment in Valbonne. Valbonne villas are a charming way to visit Valbonne and the Cote D'Azur. Most Villas in Valbonne are private estates with pools, where you can bring your family on holiday to Valbonne in a rentalk villa for the week or the month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Valbonne is populated with café terraces and shops, and is handy for the restaurants Cadran Solaire and the Comptoir du Sud down nearby streets. The village, bordered by 'rampart houses,' has entrance gates on each of its four sides. The Fête du Raisin is celebrated here at the end of January on account of the late ripening of the servan grape. Market day every Friday is held in the square; it is also where the English pub is found. Several glass workshops for perfume flasks provide interesting visits. On the south side of the village is the 12th century Eglise Saint Blaise and an attached Chalaisien Abbey which has recently undergone restoration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is also a little shopping center on the west side of the old village where there is a post office, paper and grocery shops. There is a delightful woodland walk called Sentier de la Brague which follows the river Brague all the way to Biot. Valbonne is near the N85, the route Napoléon, the route Napoleon took in 1815 on his long march from Golfe Juan to Paris.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The renaissance chateau, Mouans-Sartouz, to the south-west of Valbonne, houses the Espace de l'Art Concret, where a permanent collection shows works by Honegger, Albers, André, LeWitt and Morellet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later in the 1970s, the planners founded Valbonne's neighbour, the high tech centre of Sophia Antipolis, nicknamed the 'Milton Keynes of the Riviera.' In the 1980s the University of Nice moved parts of its campus there; it has become an important site for research and development. There are over 1300 companies in Sophia Antipolis, consisting of over 25,000 employees, who have boosted the population of the community, in addition to the many Anglophone residents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Accommodation in Valbonne is not hard to find, and there are villa rental companies with luxury villas and apartments to rent in Valbonne and in the surrounding countryside.

Villefrance, founded in the 14th century by Charles II of Anjou as a duty-free fishing port, is the jewel in the crown of the French Cote d'Azur between Nice and Monaco. It is built on the wooded slopes encircling one of the most beautiful roadways in the Mediterranean, the three Corniches - high, middle and low. In the 1920s, it was the haunt of the poet/film-maker Jean Cocteau, and later Errol Flynn, then the Beat poet, Allan Ginsberg, and latterly U2; Tina Turner now has a villa there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villa%20and%20Apartment%20Rental%20Villefranche.htm"&gt;Luxury villas in Villefranche&lt;/a&gt; are very popular with the English community on the French Riviera, and many Villefranch villas are available to rent for the holiday season. Holiday season in June to September, even though &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villa%20and%20Apartment%20Rental%20Villefranche.htm"&gt;villas to rent in Villefranche&lt;/a&gt; may provide a relaxing holiday trip summer and winter owing to the mild climate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The terracotta roofs of this unspoilt medieval town slope down to the horseshoe-shaped bay (called une rade); it lies between the Cap Ferrat Peninsula and the Mount Boron heights. The town is a jumble of cobble-stoned streets and attractive little squares such as Place Félix Poullan and Place de l'Eglise. Nearby, in the rue de l'Eglise, there is a delightful restaurant called L'Echalote. Don't miss the Brocant (antiques market) on Sundays. There are many brasseries along the quai, also excellent fish restaurants such as L'oursin Bleu, Fille du Pêcheur. One of the prettiest train routes in the world runs from Nice through Villefranche and along the coast, just above the beaches, to and past the Italian border, so it is an exciting ride to get to other destinations on the coast such as Menton or Monaco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cocteau's most celebrated creation in Villefrance is the interior of the tiny 14th century Chapelle de St-Pierre-des-Pêcheurs at the western end of the port, which he rescued from the fishermen who used it as a store for their equipment. He restored it in 1957 to its original function, covering the entire interior with evangelical murals depicting St Peter's life. He also filmed his famous film Orphée, in the well-know vaulted rue Obscure, which protected the citizens from harm during bombardments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A fabulous blue and yellow creation overlooking the port, a hotel by the name Hotel Welcome, is the revamped one where Cocteau used to fraternize with the local sailors in the 1920s in a haze of opium; a room here with a balcony overlooking the port would be an ideal place to stay. On the eve of Shrove Tuesday the port becomes the setting for a local maritime festival when the fishermen flood the port with their flower-filled boats, a spectacle not to be missed. The 16th century castle, or citadel, with a drawbridge, further along the bay, was built in 1560 for the Duke of Savoy. It serves as a museum for a local sculptor and also has minor works by artists such as Picasso, Picabia and Miro. During the summer, it serves as an outdoor theatre and cinema.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dearth of properties in the golden triangle of Villefranche, Beaulieu and St Jean Cap Ferrat ensure that prices for real estate are high. If you are looking to come on holiday to Villefranche-sur-mer there are many possibilities for holiday accommodation. Agents have a collection of &lt;a href="http://www.cotedazurvillarentals.com/Villa%20and%20Apartment%20Rental%20Villefranche.htm"&gt;villefranche apartments&lt;/a&gt; and properties in and outsite this adorable seaside town.
