Wonderful Two Bedroom Duplex Apartment With Panoramic Sea Views - Antibes, Provence Reviews

The owner was very accessible. They were organized and so accommodating. They made sure that someone was there to help us get in to the apartment, show us around and answer any questions we had.

The place is just as pictured! Er sat for hours just staring at the meditation sea! The view is truly picturesque!

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful home!

The location of the villa and the views are what make this place special. It is a converted villa and the apartment is the largest of 4 apartments and the owner has rights to half the land, that consists of private terraces and a BBQ area. The property has recently been refurbished throughout. All amenities are potentially within walking distance, including beaches, supermarkets, bakery, and the Antibes old town. The area is quite and it is great in the evening when you can have a quite dinner on the outside terrace overlooking the pool and sea, with lighting in the pool and the grounds. Overall a great place and good value for money.

We love the apartment and the location is incredible. The views of the sea are breathtaking and the walk from the villa in to Antibes old town is only ten to fifteen minutes although there is a slight hill coming back. The apartment is one of four in the villa and it was very busy during our two week stay so it can lack a little privacy but no more than any other apartment. This apartment has the best outside space of all four apartments including bbq area although some of the other guests are not always aware that it is exclusive to this apartment. If you want to experience the stunning beauty of the Cap without the price of your own villa this is the place and the Owners and Fifi and Michael are on hand to make your stay the best experience. Since our visit last year the kitchen and lounge area have been refurbished. The bathrooms are still slightly dated but functional and I know the owners have had the property for many years and continue to update it. It is worth people remembering this is someone’s home so if you prefer the stark newness of a hotel or apartment complex HomeAway is not for you but if you prefer to spend time in someone else’s beautiful property it is perfect

The photos are completely accurate but the pictures don’t do the views justice. The setting is relaxing in a residential neighborhood with amazing views towards Nice and Cap Jean Ferrat in the distance. Sailboats and yachts sail by and the sea breezes are wonderful. Even on a rainy day the time wasn’t disappointing as the enclosed sun porch is amazing and a great place on any day to enjoy breakfast or a snack indoors while still feeling outside. Keep in mind it is best to have a car here but parking and getting around Cap d’Antibes was never a problem. The kitchen is well stocked and the house was clean. Our only negative comment would be that some updating (new bedding, more comfortable furniture) would make the place sensational. That said, we spent most of our time outdoors so the dated interior didn’t really matter. It smelled a bit musty on arrival but after opening windows and doors, the fresh Mediterranean breeze took care of that. We would return and only offer the opinion just to note that a great place could be made even better with a modest amount of effort. The plusses, however, outweigh any aesthetic considerations. So we recommend and repeat that the owner was always responsive, check in/out a breeze, and the views/location splendid. The pictures too are accurate and frankly understate the beauty of the site and surroundings. Go and enjoy!

My husband and I were looking forward to a trip planned partly in Antibes at this property and partly at another VRBO property in Italy. While our Italian rental was wonderful and just as advertised (much like our other VRBO experiences!) this property was disgusting. First of all, the owner prefers to handle transactions/payments outside of VRBO- which I should have thought twice about, but I do know some attempt to avoid fees that cut both ways, so I really didn't think much about it.

Upon arrival, it was beautiful on the outside- a serene location and wonderful views! But as we walked inside it was a different story. It immediately smelled of mold and mildew, which we chalked up to possibly being closed up for awhile. The property was also dirty- there was dried food in the kitchen sink, empty paper towel holders, dirty floors and all sorts of dirt and dead bugs in the grill (which the contract clearly warns that if you use it and don't clean it you'll be charged a fee). Then we walked downstairs where the bedroom is (which I did not clearly understand from the description) and along the hallway wall tile there are huge patches of black mold. The bathroom tile was covered in red and black mold and we found mold on dining room chairs- it was everywhere. We proceeded to turn on the freestanding air conditioner to try to get some air moving and see the the filter on that was just filled with dust and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time.

Given that we had been traveling for many hours and were exhausted, we decided to eat and try to get some sleep- sometimes things seem better when you're not exhausted! Sadly, sleep was difficult with the thick air/mildew and mold smell. The next day we decided to contact the host to let her know the conditions were unsuitable and we needed to leave. We were told by the host that "she was traveling and would work things out with us". Many months later, we finally received our deposit back, but no refund. We requested even just a portion refunded, knowing we had it booked for a week and she had money lost by not being able to fill it, but we were told that if we would have contacted her immediately and not waited until the next morning, she would have refunded us. This seemed like an excuse to us and really didn't make sense, but that is how we ended things and are out a considerable amount of money.

I would avoid this host and this property, unless you don't mind mold and mildew.

Wife and I with our two boys 11 and 9 has a wonderful holiday focused on the lovely beaches on the Cap and in Cannes

The house is a short drive away from the many sites and restaurants of Old Antibes. Although the house is a little tired everything if perfectly functional and the views are just breath taking

The terras, swimmingpool, garden and view are great. The upper level of the appartment is spacious and everything is available. There is a little oldfashioned charm about the place. At the lower level, the master bedroom is very nice, opening on the terrace.The other bedroom is smaller and probably best used for children. With the sea on short distance, it can get a bit humid, but we had no problem with that!! The owner is very helpful and kind in his replies. The french caretaker is a friendly lady who gives you all the information you need and cleans the house very well. This year was another very positive holiday experience! Thank you Ebby!

4 of us enjoyed staying at Villa Mirraniza in mid-September, 2017. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, and our experiences in Antibes, especially the Old Town section of the city. We visited the markets a couple of times, finding good restaurants, as well as buying food to bring back to the house. It was wonderful to sit down on the Terrace Room, open the big window and have a nice meal of local food and wine. And the views were spectacular. We have many great pictures to show our family and friends of our trip. We would all recommend Villa Mirranizza for a wonderful stay in Antibes.

The pictures do not do justice to the view & location.

The Villa is a perfect spot: very close to the Cap d'Antibes and the old town. Great short walks to the town and nice hiking around the Cap.

We stayed early June with our two daughters (11 & 15 yrs). Girls enjoyed the pool and we all enjoyed the scenery and calmness.

Strong recommendation for private beaches at Plage de la Garoup.

The decor of the villa was not 100% to our taste but nice and after I reorganized some of the art pices we could also relax better (and not to worry about breaking them;))

Perfect location, super helpful owner and nice cleaner. Why only four stars? 4,5 is more correct: The location and villa is so great but little better kitchen tools and bed and less mirrors it would have been 5. But we will be back I hope!

The apartment is part of a beautiful villa on the Cap ten minutes walk to the beach. Absolutely everything you could wish for with stunning views. The best way to experience this perfect location
