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
Great location, great size. We appreciated wifi and large bedrooms. The furnishings, kitchen and bathrooms were comfortable, but somewhat dated. The cleaning fee was significantly more than anywhere else we've stayed.

Four winter months in Vence
During my long stay at the house it felt like home. In the kitchen there was everything that I needed. The roof terrace was great place to spend time and the view was great. All the shops were close. Going up and down the five floors of the house was good daily exercise (lots of steps but also good handrails). I and my visitors enjoyed the experience very much.

First Rate
We had a wonderful stay. The home is well-kept. The location of the home is right at the center of Vence and convenient to many good restaurants, shops, etc. A plus for us is that the home is in a true neighborhood (not just tourists). While there were many listings in and around Vence, this was the only property that I could find with all these qualities. The photos on the posting accurately portray the home. In my opinion, it looks even better in person. Note, because there are four levels, it might not be ideal for persons with difficulty climbing stairs.

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!
