Le Chateau is a charming and very well-furnished holiday house near the charming village of St Paul de Vence (you can hear the church bell), surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the South of France. The private swimming pool is 10m x 5m and there is maid service 3 days per week. A house of real architectural merit, quite unlike the many samish villas that line the Riviera and very well located for restaurants and supermarkets. Air conditioning, satellite tv, alarm, security gates. £4600 per week, available all weeks in July.
