Cap Ferrat is very quiet in October
A modern brutalist town house which we were not expecting. If we had seen a photograph of the exterior we would not have booked this property. Really conflicting feelings as some things were really good like the bedlinen, :Le Creuset pans and everything worked. The house is large but really badly designed. There is an internal lift or spiral stairs between floors. One needs to take a lift (or stairs) from the foyer to the second floor to walk up more stairs to the ladderlike staircase to a sliding window door to the roof terrace. The view is nice but it takes determination to get there especially if carrying anything at all. The kitchen is tiny and a pain to take anything from the kitchen to the terrace. We hated the wooden patio furniture and the hallways stacked with seat cushions. (Get box storage on the roof terrace)There were curtain tracks and no curtains in some rooms. The sofas had very worn upholstery. The patio furniture is past its sell by date and uncomfortable. If you have a large party of people and want somewhere really quiet with few facilities to walk to then this is fine. but we were disappointed and fantasised about throwing out all of the hideous and mismatching art. It felt like someone's well loved personal holiday home that suits them very well that they have had for a long time but they are blind to what paying guests may expect for their own South of France holiday environment. We were bitten by flies and mosquitos that were thriving on the terrace which we tracked down to the plant containers that were in standing water. We made the wrong choice for us but we are sure others may like it.
