Last summer we drove from Como to the Cote d'Azur in the south of France to spend our holiday. We travelled from Bed&Breakfast to Hotel about every two days. It was hard to tell which B&B would be nice and which would be a bit of a disappointment, you never know if it's your first time there.
Our first two nights we spent at Villefranche-sur-mer where we stayed at the Hotel Saint Michel. We had a lovely little Ikea room with a tiny bathroom and toilet and some noisy neighbors. It's a lovely little town, very typical French riviera. Especially the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is very beautiful, it's almost an island with pretty beaches and amazing views.
When we arrived at our next stop, we were happy to have booked 5 nights at this wonderful place called CaraProensa in Flayosc. We were warmly welcomed by Marie-Cecile and her husband Roland who showed us our cute, very french room with private terras. But it got even better at breakfast. She made us a different special something every morning...american pancakes, rice pudding, poached peaches...Mmmm! Delish! All this was accompanied by fresh croissants, bread, juice, tea and home made confiture. One night we were invited to join them and their friends for a piece of homemade apricot pie and a glass of wine to celebrate a guests birthday.
We had some good times in their pool and cycled in the beautiful area filled with wine chateaus. It's not too far from St. Tropez and other pretty places like Aix-en-Provence.
We're coming back there this may, looking forward to it already!
More about our summer holiday...(and some of the more unpleasant surprises we ran into with), next time!
