For SALE Villapartment 5 P THEOULE SUR MER, PORT GALERE 1.100.000  euro


If you know a little bit about the Cote d'Azur, you know Théoule sur Mer is surely one of the most beautiful places to be. The village has only 1,296 permanent residents, but in the summer frequently visited by mostly wealthy foreigners. The view in Theoule sur Mer is overwhelming, there is space and peace, because there is nothing more to be build. Théoule kept successfully its cozy character of yesteryear. You still get a pizza for 10 euro at Nino’s and you enjoy Marco Polo delicious diners with your feet in the warm sand. For anyone who retires and receives a nice golden handshake or just because you can afford to live on the most beautiful place at the French Riviera, this is your chance to grab.

Life can be beautiful on the Riviera, and this villa fits into that picture.

Was this the house of Brigitte Bardot?


Neo Provencal Villa / Cannes Le Cannet Pinede 926,000 euros including commission

Well, no. But it could be because this is that kinda house that really kept the old southern French charm, the atmosphere of Brigitte Bardot and Jean-Paul Belmondo, with a Vespa scooter or Mehari on the doorstep and all you really want to do is listen to romantic songs while the champagne stands cold in the cooler and life on the French Riviera can’t be sweeter. These are just a few thoughts that pop up in your mind when you visit this villa. It happened to us and we were instantly in love with this spacious villa with 7 rooms. Built in 1940 and extensively rebuilt in 1999, which, for ¾ is modernized, whilst retaining original styles. In 2012 the owners made another improvement with double glazing and an alarm system. That is unfortunately the modern era but gives you a safe feeling. Are you joining us for a visit?

The charming villa with 6/7 bedrooms gives approx 200 m2 on a plot of 1500m2 enjoyment, on 2 floors, in a quiet and yet close to all amenities. On the ground floor we find the entrance, living room approx 60m2 with cozy fireplace, 1 bedroom suite with bathroom / WC and dressing room, 1 office and 22m3 various cupboards for storage. Via the stairs we walk to the 1st floor, here we have 2 bedrooms with bathroom / WC, 1 suite with bathroom / WC and a beautiful view of your own garden with swimming pool. Outside you have 2 covered parking and 3 outdoor parking. We have already said, there is enough space for the guests of your party. Then we go into the garden, we stand in the sun because the villa is situated south / east, has a flat garden with orchard and part vegetable garden, a large swimming pool with pool house and summer kitchen (organise  barbeque in November, that is really quite normal), a well, a mega wine cellar, a workshop/atelier that can be converted into an independent studio for an au-pair or mothers (in-law).

Innovative living on the Côte d'Azur


Open terrain to build new properties on the French Riviera is rare and that's the main reason why prices never really go down. It would be interesting to see if new technology used for subway drilling can be used to create apartments in rocks. Would you like to live like this and be the new and improved Fred and Wilma Filntstone?

Three homes in one villa!



Neo Provencal Villa / Le Cannet district "Pinede" € 884,000 FAI *

Some houses are so flexible that they can make everyone happy. Maybe you're a pop star and need a sound studio at home or you have a large and close family and want to live with you grown-up children and their children. Or you want to look after your parents (in law). Which living situation you're looking for, this detached villa has it all. The states which resemble Italian grandparents aanpandig the children live and on request also deal with the household and children. Or where children can just choose to literally close to their parents to live, but independently. In the Netherlands, a family situation almost impossible to find because all the houses are small, but in France it is already much more common. A large building that is inhabited by two families, each with a private entrance and parking, and a swimming pool long dining table where you can find each other. In Italy they do nothing and it is not only fun and good for family ties, also economically advantageous. You pay only 1 time because local housing taxes and you share the cost of maintenance. You can also keep a vegetable garden together, as did Grandpa what to do during the day and may you some fresh zucchini dish on the table. Do not have a family but still want a particular house with many possibilities, then this villa is really something special to see. Pop artists or artists can have fun here, for example, a sound, or to make a luxury guesthouse. A kind Robby Williams, but on his Southern French, always under the sunshine.

Hollande searches in Google for money



François Hollande has told Google chair Eric Schmidt that France intends to proceed with plans to force the search giant to pay when it links to news content. Hollande, culture minister Aurélie Filippetti and small business minister Fleur Pellerin, met Schmidt yesterday and one of the items on the agenda was France's desire to make Google pay for content. Hollande said in a statement that he hopes negotiations between Google and news organisations can begin quickly and be concluded by the end of the year. He said he was prepared to legislate. Google has threatened to remove all links to French newspapers from its search results, depriving them of what it says is four billion clicks a month.

After a stormy weekend.


The French Riviera is recovering from a stormy, with heavy rain and fierce winds in the Var and the Alpes-Maritimes on Friday. Météo France recorded 13 centimetres of rain at Mandelieu-la-Napoule on Friday night and winds of up to 135 kilometres per hour in Le Dramont, near Saint Raphael, caused various trees to come down. Firefighters were called out 300 times to evacuate people from their flooded homes. Roads were closed around Antibes, Nice, Grasse and Cannes – cellars were flooded and two campsites had to be evacuated. Six flights due to land at Nice airport were diverted to Marseille or Lyon.

Passengers on an Easyjet flight from Paris to Nice were delayed by five and a half hours on Friday night because of the bad weather on the Riviera. They were due to take off from Orly but were instead shuttled to Charles de Gaulle by bus and didn’t take off until 2.30 in the morning. They reached nice at 4am.

Several passengers on the Corsica ferry from Nice to Ajaccio were abandoned at the port in Calvi in the middle of the storm. The ferry company reportedly decided to turn the boat back for Toulon and the passengers were due to be picked up by another boat but it did not arrive for an hour and a half and spent the whole night at the quayside.

If you live in the Uk or US and you are afraid that your pool has drowned due to the heavy rainfall, call us for a free inspection Marinus Concierge 06 5991 0425.

Southern French boars.



It is almost November and in the garden are the remains of a fruit full summer on the French Riviera; slack apples, dried figs and a stray pear. Delicious food for the wild boar that we, as if it were zombies, crawls every night higher up the mountain looking for food. The screams of the baby boars sounds like high squeaks. Not that we're afraid of those cute little pigs, it is the father who is the greatest danger. Encouraged by 200 pounds and a two large fangs he goes nothing and no one out of the way, walks boldly on our yard back and sniffs under the trampoline for food for his offspring. You can not blame a father, though this his father want to protect his offspring against a wild boar. Hence, this summer the project 'Ab the Fence "has begun. Every month I buy 20 meters mesh, 10 poles and a roll of wire to delineate another part of our site. Now, just for winter, the house is surrounded with a 1 meter 50 tall fence and even the dog can no longer run away. Let the boar come, we're safe. Hihaaa.
