Welcome to Lou Cigalou (= Provençal for la cigale = cricket). Our villa is built against a hill and consists of an upper house and an apartment in the lower house (called basement) this is not rented separately. At 500 meters from the picturesque village of Saint Jeannet is our detached villa on 2500 m2 of land with swimming pool, spacious terraces, private garden. View of the sea with a panorama from Nice via Antibes to Cannes.
Walk to the village for a baguette or a glass of wine. In the garden the walk into the mountains begins. The Baou's (low mountains) that start almost behind the house provide shelter from winter winds from the Alps. The upper house has a large enclosed terrace of approximately 60 m2. The terrace is partly covered, provides shade in the summer and shelter in the winter.
The upper house has a spacious bedroom with a 2 person Hästen bed. On the loft above the living room is a separate bedroom with 2 beds and on the loft is an extra folding bed. Ideal for children.
The apartment in the basement has a separate bedroom, with 2 single beds and a living area with kitchenette and private bathroom. French doors to the terrace. The sitting room has an extra sofa bed. (upstairs and downstairs cannot be rented separately).
The private swimming pool is located on a large terrace (with ping-pong table!) and can be used from May to October quite warm. A few degrees of heating can be done via the system.

Our villa is also attractive in the winter period. When the sun is shining, and it often does in winter, you can sit on the terrace. From coffee at 10 o'clock, lunch and then another cup of tea at 4 o'clock. Then go inside and sit by the fireplace.
