We are a Seattle family with ties to and a deep love of France. Kevin is a dual national, with both U.S. and French citizenship. We have been coming to the Cote d'Azur for many years, starting on our honeymoon (Menton) in 1986. We love this area, the city of Nice, the beaches, surrounding villages, seafood, wine, climate, the shops, markets and the people. We have always dreamed of owning a house here and now have the privilege of being the third owner of Le Haut des Espinets and sharing this unique house with friends and family. We have outfitted this house with everything that we look for in a vacation rental: large outdoor seating area where everyone can gather, large well-equipped kitchen (with nice knives!), well-appointed bedrooms with luxury linens and soft pillows, a big pool, and wifi. The house has easy access to the beach, great shops, and restaurants. And it has a view! This is our only rental property and we take great pride in our attention to detail to make it your dream vacation spot.

We are only 15 minutes from the Nice Cote d’Azur Airport and 25 minutes from the Nice-Ville and Antibes trains stations. We’re minutes away from some of the most charming villages in the area including Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Vence, both only minutes away. The marvelous coastline of the Cote d’Azur is within a short drive with many lovely beaches minutes away. Nice and Cannes, also magical places to visit, are a short drive away as well as some of the French Riviera’s idyllic inland villages such as Biot, Opio and Grasse. It’s easy to make trips from the villa. You can easily drive or take the train to Provence or Italy and ferries to Corsica leave from the Port of Nice. We are also within an easy drive to golf, ski areas, and hiking. We are close to the Cannes Film festival and the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. Our villa is well suited for Yoga retreats or private tennis lessons. We highly recommend renting a car to best enjoy the area though Uber and taxis can be arranged. In short, Villa Espinets is the perfect oasis from which to discover Cote d’Azur's world-class beaches, classic hilltop villages, endless activities and extraordinary views and landscapes.
