Ît is conveniently situated 10mn walk from the Centre of town. Our Hostess was friendly and eager to please, great breakfast with fresh bread and home made jam.... More

We stayed in this area many years ago traveling with our sons but this was the first time just my husband and I wanted to base our two-week vacation in Vence. Canto Grihet was perfect! Just a short walk into town with all the restaurants, shops, banks, markets, etc., needed for convenience and delight (the Matisse chapel a 10-15 minute... More

Villa Canto Grihet.....The villa itself is beautiful, like something out of an old hollywood film. The garden is sub tropical and full of delights, the pool is borded by two tall palm trees and looks so inviting! The rooms are individual and tastefully decorated and all have something special about them - and I'm sure a story too. It's very... More

We stayed here in late May for 5 nights and really had a great time in the detached cottage cedre. Great to have the washing machine, full kitchen and separate living area and bedroom. Claude was a wonderful host/owner and she takes great pride in her b&b. Breakfasts are good and the rooms are clean and well appointed. Close to... More

The Villa is situated about 10 minutes walk from the old town of Vence (very nice, with many good restaurants). It has a big exciting garden with palm trees, figs, kiwi, rosemary, thyme, roses and lots of other plants surrounding a pool. Our children enjoyed the garden very much, playing hide-and-seek, swimming in the pool and searching for the croaking... More

This area in the South of France is quite simply, paradise. A short walk from the villa brings you into the charming old town section of Vence with great restaurants and charming medieval streets and walls. The owner, Claude is charming as well, she serves breakfast outside (weather permitting) which includes her home-made jams. There is a pool. A little... More

Perhaps Villa Canto Grihet is # 2 on Trip Advisor. Well, I can tell you from experience that it is #1. Furthermore, if I see any negative comments regarding Villa Canto Grihet or Claude France, then this 6'1, 210lbs American is going to dispute you every step of the way. I could write volumes about this place, the host and... More

We had a wonderful stay with our little daughter in the Trou Madame room, and it was made even more charming by the care and hospitability of Claude France. Her warm smile, home made jams and fresh bread for breakfast, always with good advice on nice places to visit, made us feel more like friends staying at her place. The... More

We couldn't have wished for a more lovely experience. Villa Canto Grihet is absolutely charming and great base from which to explore the area. Claude France is a brilliant host and made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. The room we stayed in - Trou Madame - was bright and airy and very comfortable and also... More
