Un brin de paille

Un brin de paille offers two whole-house configurations designed for stays of different sizes. The first has three bedrooms, measures 120 m² and sleeps eight; the second has seven bedrooms, covers 300 m² and accommodates up to seventeen guests. Both have private bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, as well as a lounge and a terrace overlooking the garden. Kitchen equipment includes a fridge, dishwasher, oven and coffee machine.

The seven-bedroom configuration stands out for its balcony and private pool, in addition to the property's outdoor saltwater pool. Both houses overlook the garden and pool. The larger one suits big families or groups who want to share communal areas while having several bedrooms. In the three-bedroom version, a sofa bed adds to the sleeping arrangements; the seven-bedroom version has several types of beds and more living space.

The outdoor areas include a garden, terrace, outdoor dining furniture and a barbecue. The pool has toys, beach towels, sun loungers, parasols and a fence. A picnic area complements the garden facilities, and the shared lounge provides an indoor communal space. Private parking is free; indoor parking and step-free access for guests with reduced mobility are available.

Wi-Fi is free in the rooms. Pets are welcome at no extra charge, and bowls are provided for them. For families, facilities include safety gates, outdoor play equipment, board games and children's books. The house also has a laundry room and offers luggage storage and concierge services. Activities such as badminton, darts and table tennis are available; tours or classes about local culture add to the leisure options.

Cagnes-sur-Mer combines a town on the Côte d’Azur coast with the old hilltop village of Haut-de-Cagnes, whose narrow streets climb towards Château Grimaldi. The town offers several different settings: the seafront and its beaches, the streets of the old village, and quieter residential neighbourhoods in the hills. This variety suits travellers who want to divide their stay between swimming, heritage walks and excursions in the surrounding area.

Château Grimaldi houses a museum of art and history, while Musée Renoir offers a glimpse of the house and garden where the painter lived. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a village known for its galleries and ramparts, is 2.0 km away; Fondation Maeght, dedicated to modern and contemporary art, is 2.5 km away. The beaches of Cagnes-sur-Mer are 5 km away. Nice offers more to explore, with its squares, museums and Promenade des Anglais; Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 6 km away.

The Mediterranean climate makes stays pleasant throughout the seasons: summer invites you to spend days on the beach and go swimming, while spring and autumn are well suited to visiting villages and walking in the countryside. A day can start in Haut-de-Cagnes, continue with a visit to the collections at Fondation Maeght and end by the sea. Having a car makes it easier to explore nearby towns and enjoy a range of outings; Nice also offers an urban stop, with walks, heritage and museums.
