About the local area



Local shops, boulangeries & restaurants can be found just 5 minutes walk away in the village of Biot. This charming old hilltop village is very popular with tourists and has a busy main street with craft shops, a tourist office and cafes in the square. The village is most famous for its glassmakers and it is possible to visit the ‘verreries’ and their gift shops. The town of Antibes is also very close-by for a large supermarket and a greater selection of shopping.

Local markets are held on a Tuesday morning in the village of Biot and almost everyday in Antibes. Here you can choose from a selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, olives and cheese.

Sporting activities in the area are abundant – there is the golf course of Biot very nearby, tennis, boules, fishing, karting, water sports and the beach. You are also in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes region here, which makes walking and cycling very popular.

Beaches can be found just 3kms away at the Plage de la Siesta and Antibes.
The ski stations of Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are approximately 1 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!

Getting around is easy from here; there is a regular bus service to Antibes and along the coast, with a bus stop approximately 100 metres from the villa. Trains also run along the coast and the nearest station is 3km away at Gare de Biot. A car would be useful here but not essential.

Sightseeing is endless; you are ideally placed between Nice and Cannes, and very close to the town of Antibes. Further inland the lovely old villages of Valbonne, St Paul-de-Vence and Mougins are close by. Other places of interest are The Port and Old Town of Antibes, Vallauris and its potteries, the glassmakers in Biot, the City of Nice and the hills and forests of the Alpes Maritimes region.

Other entertainment includes the casinos & nightlife of Cannes, boat trips, cinema, the perfumeries in Grasse or a day at the beach. Just 3 kilometres away you’ll also find the site of the water park ‘Aquasplash’, the sealife park ‘Marineland’ and a fairground.

....overall a fantastic holiday &ndash house was great, good location and set up etc and pool though on the small side was perfect for the kids. Main downside was the BBQ &ndash this looked great in the details but was basically unusable &ndash the owner showed us when we got there and the grill was rusted and unusable ...... (JdV looking into). The only other issue was a lack of fans in the house &ndash the weather was hot (which we expected) and we knew there was no air con but in other houses we have rented there have always been standalone fans &ndash we managed to get one from the owner before she left which went in one of the boys bedrooms but I really would have expected one in each of the bedrooms to be provided. Many thanks for all of your help in arranging the house - Mr E. from Essex, July 15.

Wonderful! Thank you so much for all your help organising our holiday. We had a fabulous time and loved the Villa Figuier and the area. In fact I didn`t want to come home! It made no difference to us about the TV there was too much else to see and do! The details your Company provided before we travelled were excellent and helped our expectations. Thank you again. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied. Paul was extremely helpful and we would use your Company again. :) - Mrs C. from Surrey, August 2013.

Paul, we had such a wonderful time that we are in the process of booking a second week&rsquos holiday with your company. I&rsquove just submitted an enquiry about a property near Carcassonne for the end of this month. The villa recommended by you was perfect for our requirements. The photos & details on your website were exactly the same as the real thing! We felt this to be a very important aspect, as it inspires you with confidence to book with the company again. We were not interested in car rental for the holiday, and were pleased to see it wasn&rsquot necessary. The town near the villa was on a hill-top, with a steep climb, but a courtesy bus was available within a five minute walk from the villa. There was also a mini market with shop, butchers, bakery, greengrocers and two restaurants within 5 min walk from the villa. We used bus & train to visit Antibes, Cannes - Mrs K. from Galway, Aug 09.

Lovely villa, which was very comfortable, although the master bed is quite small! (140x190cm regular UK double). Also only 4 sunloungers. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Satisfied, Paul was extremely helpful with our last minute booking - Mrs A. from London, Aug 09.

Great villa, wonderful location in a secure setting. Very suitable for our needs 2 families with children. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied, very well taken care of by Paul Rhodes - Mrs G. from Jersey, July 08.

Very nice! (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs M. from Jersey, July 08.
