It's always a worry when you book somewhere that it isn't going to match up with your expectations, but not Villa Meava, it exceeded our expectations. The views really were spectacular from the pool area, the terrace, the kitchen, living room, dining room and especially the main bedroom, although most of the bedrooms as well, there were only a couple of bedrooms at the back that didn't have the view. There were 13 of us and the house swallowed us up, there was plenty of room, the kitchen was easy to navigate, the BBQ area was right by the outdoor eating area, it felt like a home from home. All rooms had bookcases full of interesting reads. It was very hot when we stayed and there is no air con but there were fans in the bedroom to cool you down at night. We just could have done with more shade by the pool!
St. Cezaire was a lovely characterful village with a couple of good places to eat, a well stocked supermarket and an amazing boulangerie! You do need cars though, the village is not a stroll away!!! There is plenty to do in the area, we went down into the gorge and swam in the river, it was worth the slog! We visited Lac St. Cassien for fun on inflatables, caught the train from Cannes to Monaco, visited beaches in Antigues, strolled around Grasse, tried via ferrata further in land, drove route napolean and there was still lots more to do but unfortunately we only had the week.
From the very first enquiry to the end Eveline helped us along the way with all our questions and it was lovely meeting Peter, her son, who kindly showed us around the place when we arrived. We would all love to return sometime and wouldn't hesitate recommending the place.
