About this property

Unique mix of Provencal charm and cutting edge architecture near Valbonne

This is an exceptional property with a private tennis court, situated in a quiet dominant position, in the heart of the charming village of Le Rouret. It is nestled within a two acre olive grove with beautiful sea views and sprawling lawns. This stunning house has been renovated and extended to a very high standard and offers a unique mix of an old bergerie extended sympathetically with traditional stone walls, galleried glass hallway and huge full height bay windows over the gardens. It has beautiful mature gardens and lawns and a large swimming pool. At the bottom of the garden you have a gate to stroll down to the village centre where you will find Le Clos St Pierre michelin star restaurant, and many other restaurants and bistros, boulangerie, wine bar and other facilitates all within walking distance, you don't have to get in your car! A small track at the top of the property leads you to the unspoilt walks of the Camp Romain hillside. Here you have extensive views on one side of the sea and the other side the hilltop village of Gourdon and surrounding mountains. There is a superb stone pool house area with built in bbq and pizza oven and seating for 14 people.
There is a good bus service in the centre of the village, directly into Nice (via the airport) and Grasse and Valbonne.

Beautiful and comfortable house
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful property. It has a well equipped kitchen, exceptionally comfortable bedrooms and lots of different seating and dining areas in the garden, which worked really well for us as a larger group. The views across to the Mediterranean are lovely too. We enjoyed walking into the village each morning to buy our croissants at the boulangerie and also ate out at two of the local restaurants, all a short walk from the property. The caretakers who live discreetly on site were very helpful and keep the house and garden spotless. I also appreciated how flexible the owner was beforehand because of all the uncertainties with travel to France due to Covid. All in all, I can’t recommend La Respelido highly enough!

Perfect!
What an incredible experience. Firstly with the owner....its like talking to a friend you've known for years. Everything was smooth and straightforward. Caroline was flexible and accommodating every step of the way. As for La Respelido, just an incredible property. Beautiful well maintained grounds for children to run around and play all day, heated pool with a safety cover that is easy to use. The villa itself is quite spacious, with sizable bedrooms, all en-suite, huge kitchen and a lovely outside area under the vines for outdoor meals. We hosted a catered lunch, we had multiple dinners and bbq's and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked for all events. The cleaning lady, Cherryl is lovely and does a great job taking care of the villa during the stay, we booked her daily. Her husband Ru takes care of the grounds and between they help with pretty much anything you need while there. Great stay, great host, great villa, great location.

Stylish, spacious and comfortable house in lovely grounds
Lovely stay at Le Respelido. Wonderful, spacious and comfortable house and home. Nicely, and stylishly, furnished with a blend of antique and modern. Large doors and windows open up the house to the gardens. Lovely and well equipped kitchen. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Landscaped grounds delightful and very well maintained and full of flowers and trees. Plenty of both sun and shade through the day. Nice views from the terrace. Good pool. Air conditioned for hot nights. Bakery and fresh produce market in easy walking distance and supermarket a few minutes drive. Good restaurant in village. Owner, Caroline, very easy to deal with. Rental cost reflects the quality of the property and is good value for such a high quality house and relaxing garden.

Absolutely fantastic!!
I couldn't have had a better time at this property! The house, and everything in it, was in absolutely perfect condition and exceeded all expectations. Would be the easiest recommendation I've ever given.

Idyllic Gem in Cote d'Azure
I cannot recommend this property destination enough, suffice to call it a magnet to joy! Previously we had always loved the pleasures of Italy, but on discovering this treasure set in idyllic scenery, we have returned again and again to the enchanting La Respelido. The property is a delightful mix of old French traditional charm and new cutting edge architecture. This contrast of styles successfully unites both aesthetics and function; often a difficult call for contemporary design. The olive grove, wildflower meadow, patio garden terrace with lavender and rosemary (perfect for butterflies in summer!), swimming pool and the tennis court make the exterior pleasures of the house as great as the comforts offered inside. It is always spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The owner, in the few times we have needed to make contact, has always been delightful and helpful - offering excellent customer service. There are many local attractions and the big cities of Nice and Cannes are nearby, as are local walks into the mountains with fabulous views. I wholeheartedly recommend this holiday property for a wonderful vacation guaranteed to ensure glorious memories.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Stephenson

Host profile image
We live between France and London. La Respelido is our home from home in France. We have enjoyed coming here for the last 23 years and never tire of our true paradise set within this wonderful part of the Cote d'Azur. We particularly love the fact that we are close enough to the beaches but also set back from the hectic peak period tourist traffic. We have have the most glorious walks on our doorstep and also quick drive into famous villages such as Mougins, St Paul de Vence, Grasse and many more. Plus we're only half an hour from the airport which is great for picking up our many guests!

Why they chose this property

La Respelido is a unique house, in the way that the stunning new addition of glass and stone has been built onto the charming 200 year old Bergerie. Only the best materials have been used to create this exceptional mix of old and new.

It is highly unusual to find a property of such importance, sitting in two acres of land in the heart of the village. This ensures both privacy and convenience - great to be able to walk to the boulangerie for your fresh bread and croissants in the morning and a selection of fabulous restaurants, including a michelin star.

What makes this property unique

Own private tennis court, beautiful mature gardens, lawns, planted terraces and olive grove of approximately 160 olive trees.
