Territory · Fifteen towns, Nice to Cannes. A shoreline we know on foot.

From Villeneuve-Loubet, our base, towards Nice to the east and Cannes to the west, up to the hill villages: some forty kilometres of coast, fifteen towns, and seasons that do not resemble one another. We provide Airbnb management and holiday rental management for homes we can reach within the hour.

A townOur routesThe shoreline

The lights of fifteen towns, from Mandelieu to Nice. Our base shines in the middle: everything is within the hour. Stylised map, not to scale.

Towns

Fifteen towns, one standard.

Everywhere the same holiday rental management: listings, pricing, guest welcome, linen and cleaning, and a report every month. Fifteen communes in the administrative sense: Juan-les-Pins is part of Antibes, Golfe-Juan of Vallauris.

Seasons

Three seasons, frankly.

June to September

High season

Calendars fill early, prices are at their highest, guests stay longer. Heat, traffic and the noise of terraces are part of the landscape: the guest book must say so.

April, May, October

The months we prefer

Soft light, a sea still swimmable in October, quiet terraces. Demand is real but shorter: long weekends, bank holidays, conferences. Prices must follow, not stay at summer levels.

November to March

The coast for those who live here

Calendars are thin, outside events — Cannes in particular — and the year-end holidays. It is the time for works, for photographs in raking light, and for long stays at fair prices.

Chapters

The corridor, in four chapters.

Marina Baie des Anges and its harbour, Villeneuve-Loubet

Villeneuve-Loubet · Cagnes-sur-Mer · Saint-Laurent-du-Var

Who stays here

Families, stays of one to three weeks, guests who want the sea without the city, and professionals passing through Sophia Antipolis or near the airport.

The place

Villeneuve-Loubet is our base: the village above, the beach below, the Marina Baie des Anges in between and the Vaugrenier park for quiet mornings. Cagnes-sur-Mer keeps Haut-de-Cagnes, its lanes and its castle, and Cros-de-Cagnes, a former fishing village turned quiet seafront.

Saint-Laurent-du-Var borders the Var river and the airport: ten minutes from the plane, a marina, a rebuilt promenade. It is the part of the corridor easiest to reach and where people stay longest.

What an owner should know

Apartments in residences with parking and a sea view are the ones that work best year-round; village houses let for more but over a shorter season. Parking and a nearby bus stop or station count more than one would think. The co-ownership rules of the large seafront residences are to be read before anything else.

The Antibes ramparts and the Grimaldi castle tower above the sea

Antibes · Juan-les-Pins · Vallauris · Golfe-Juan

Who stays here

Couples and families who return every year, guests from abroad for long summer stays, sailors.

The place

Antibes holds both ends: the old town and its market behind the ramparts, the Cap and its coastal paths, Port Vauban in between. Juan-les-Pins is the pine grove, the gently sloping beaches and July jazz, with a season that starts early and ends late.

Vallauris and Golfe-Juan are more discreet: the ceramics workshops above, the harbour and sandy beaches below, and gentler prices for owners and guests alike.

What an owner should know

This is where summer demand is densest in our corridor, and where guests compare most. Homes with an outdoor space, however small, and under ten minutes’ walk from a beach stand out clearly. Local rules on short-term letting are to be checked carefully with each town hall.

Nice · Cannes and its neighbours

Who stays here

City dwellers and short stays, business travellers in Nice; in Cannes, stays tied to conferences and festivals, between two beach seasons.

The place

In Nice, from the Old Town to the port, from the Carré d’Or to Cimiez, and westwards Fabron, La Lanterne or Sainte-Marguerite, where the Promenade is quieter and the airport a quarter of an hour away. In Cannes, from the Croisette to Le Suquet, from La Californie to Croix-des-Gardes and La Bocca.

Around Cannes, Le Cannet and Mougins offer quiet villas and apartments a few minutes from the congress halls; Mandelieu-la-Napoule, with its beaches and marina, runs the coast on towards the Esterel. Two real cities, with markets, restaurants open in January and trains to Monaco or Marseille.

What an owner should know

Seasonality is less marked than on the residential seafront: Cannes’ conferences and festivals, Nice’s events and winter tourism fill weeks the resorts do not have. In return, competition is stronger and registration rules more closely watched. A home well located, well photographed and well priced works here almost all year.

Saint-Paul-de-Vence · La Colle-sur-Loup · Vence · Biot · Valbonne

Who stays here

Families and groups of friends looking for a villa with a pool, lovers of art and villages, and, in Valbonne and Biot, professionals working in Sophia Antipolis for stays of several weeks.

The place

Above the coast, the hilltop villages: Saint-Paul-de-Vence within its ramparts, La Colle-sur-Loup on the banks of the Loup, Vence and its old town. Biot keeps its glassmakers and lanes, Valbonne its arcaded square, with the Sophia Antipolis technology park close by. The sea is fifteen or twenty minutes away; the quiet is right there.

What an owner should know

These are mostly houses and villas: the pool, the garden and their upkeep matter as much as the decoration, and the season runs from May to September. Stays are longer and guests more numerous per booking; preparation, linen and arrival call for precise organisation.
