Waterfront property, 43 steps above the beach, 2 miles from Monaco

The holiday home "Flanc d´Roche" is located in a natural environment, hidden in a green valley between Monte Carlo and the Cap Ferrat, just above a small beach and away from the usual tourism. It was built on a cliff just about 20 meters above the sea level and is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden on different levels. At first glance there are no direct neighbors. This beach front property is to be reached only by a footpath (approx. 150 meters and 100 steps) and a small private bridge. Your car can be left on the street. A separate free parking space is reserved for our guests at the entrance of the footpath. The house disposes of a small entrance, a large open-plan living and dining area for 8, a fully-fitted separate kitchen, an international library (books in 6 languages), a fireplace, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a winter garden (veranda) and a patio. The living area opens to several terraces with breathtaking views on the Mediterranean Sea. The kitchen is furnished in the style of the 80s, but has all modern standards (oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine, etc.). Outdoor garden furniture (tables, chairs, armchairs, loungers - with cushions) as well as a shower and a large beach umbrella are at your disposal. The small, almost private pebble beach (depending on the season) can be reached in less than 2 minutes, just 43 steps away, by foot! A small part of the beach is nice and sandy. The water in this part of the Côte d´Azur is extremely beautiful and clear. We do not have a swimming pool. The sea is our pool. The train which drives past all water properties along the Côte d´Azur (with a maximum speed of about 20 miles p.h.) does not disturb. It reminds you of the fact that the civilization can not be so far. Indeed, Monaco is les than 2 miles away. This tastefully furnished summer house was built in the 1950s and fascinates by high ceilings and floorboards floors. Flanc d´Roche is a romantic secluded beach house and offers everything five persons need to relax and to escape from everyday life. SHOPPING: In the village Cap d'Ail, about half a mile in the direction of Monaco, there is a post office, a chemist, some bars, restaurants, small hotels as well as shopping possibilities (baker, butcher, food market, etc.). In Monaco, 2 miles away you´ll find a big supermarket and shopping centre 'Carrefour'. TOURISM & CULTURE: The Côte d'Azur is known like no other region. More than two centuries ago, the English nobility has chosen the Côte d'Azur and made it to one of its favourite destinations, because this beautiful region is mostly sunny and not windy (we are naturally protected by the Alps and the red rocky Esterel mountains). In the Provence with its olive groves and lavender fields you can visit the fairytale-like medieval small towns, so-called 'Villages Perchés' (Eze-Village, St-Agnes, Roquebrune, Vence, St Paul-de-Vence, Gourdon, etc.). There is a broad cultural offer on the Côte (music and theatre festivals, concerts, museums, exhibitions, etc.). RECOMMENDED TRIPS: Monaco, Nice, Cannes, St.Paul de Vence, San Remo, Eze-Village, Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Menton, Antibes, Valauris, Ventimiglia. DAY TRIPS: Saint Tropez, Aix-En-Provence, Marseille, etc.

Very nice beach location, secluded and with a view
We loved it - nice host, great location, great view, amazing beach. Make sure you’re able to handle the walk, but as long as a little walk is fine you’ll love it! Benoit is very helpful

Idillic peaceful holiday
An oasis of rest off the beaten path. Super close to Monaco, Cap d'Ail and Eze, yet the cottage is away from the traffic and crowds. Perfect for the break we were seeking! ...and then a dip at the secluded beach...

Wonderful stay
Thanks to Benoit for welcoming us to his very unique and beautiful house. The situation in nature with views of the sea was very special. The house has the character and spirit of the place, something not easily found these days. Communication, parking, access and the situation were exactly as described. We booked last minute and Benoit was immediately responsive and able to accommodate us. Highly recommended!

A great villa in an amazing location!
We (family of 4 with kids 12 & 13) had a fantastic stay at Flanc de Roche. The house has great views over the sea and the small, quiet pebble beach can be reached in a couple of minutes. It is a bit of a walk from the car park to the villa so not really suited to those who aren't fully mobile, but this inconvenience is well worth the views and excellent access to the beach. Benoit was an excellent host and gave lots of local information and advice when we checked in. The house itself is well furnished and maintained as a family holiday home giving it a personal feel. Overall a great stay and one that has provided many happy memories.

We had an amazing week. Benoit was very accommodating and gave us wonderful recommendations. The view from the house is spectacular. The beach below is heavenly. We spent our mornings on the beach relaxing and listening to the waves. The walk up and down to the house was sometimes challenging but so worth it!! I would highly recommend this beautiful house to anyone able to go up and down stairs. I used a backpack for all by items and it worked perfect. Thank you for sharing you home with us and it was a pleasure to meet you.

Best Week Vacation in Europe yet!
Staying here was an A+ experience. The home owner was very attentive to any questions we had, and made himself available when needed. He is an absolute joy of a person to have stayed with and highly recommend this magical cliff side property! As he notes, it is a bit of a walk to get there (as any good seaside private property should be!) but just to prepare for that 100-ish+ steps of incline. Private beach was such an added bonus to both start & end our days in Southern France! The property is just 12-15 minutes outside of Monaco as well, and it made our travels their very easy by Uber (we also walked back from Monaco, stunning Mediterranean Sea-side view the entire time) This home has such charm, from the balcony to the grounds of greenery ( which were outstanding- even fruit bearing trees to eat from as well depending on time of year you visit) The train below the balcony only passed through with very short trains, and did not take away from our desired mountain top get away :) If we travel back to Eze in the future, we will absolutely stay here again!!!

Just the break we needed
My husband and I stayed in this property for 10 days. It was exactly what we were looking for to relax. The train passes very near but it goes so quick that it doesn’t bother, and they don’t run in the evenings. The famous 100 steps was an excellent exercise that we did every other day. The house has all that you need for a holiday. The terrace is very ample and comfortable with all the garden furniture for relaxing, sunbathing, and enjoying your meals outside. The view is simply gorgeous. We went almost every morning very early for a swim in the sea. At that time you have the beach just for yourself. Fantastic! Last but not least, our compliments to the host, he is friendly, helpful and very accommodating. GRACIAS Benoît. We hope to be back in a near future.

Another wonderful stay
This is the second time we have stayed at Flanc d'Roche. I was having a milestone birthday and thought this place with such happy memories would be perfect for such an occasion. I was not wrong. Once again we had a wonderful stay, and this time our son who was a toddler at our first stay, really got to enjoy the space and the proximity to the fantastic beach. On more than one occasion we had the entire beach to ourselves; it was heaven. He also loved the walk down through the 'jungle' and across the bridge to get to the house. For children or adults it really is magical. Benôit is incredibly responsive with communications and everything about our stay was smooth and very friendly. We will be back for sure! May I end by saying if you do decide to stay at Flanc d'Roche, and you absolutely should, do make a daily pilgrimage to the boulangerie Ma Premiere in La Turbie. Far and away the best bread and pastries I've had in France. Then bring them home and enjoy them on the terrace with your morning coffee, listening to the birds and watching the sea. I miss it already. Many thanks once again Benôit!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt, gemeinsam mit unserem Hund, sehr genossen. Die Lage ist fantastisch. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse und zu Fuß in 2-3 Minuten ans Meer laufen zu können, ein Traum. Der Zug ist wirklich sehr nah, hat uns aber überhaupt nicht gestört. Viele interessante Ausflüge zwischen Monaco und Nizza, ohne lange Autofahrten, sind möglich. Wir hatten bisher selten so einen netten, freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber wie Benoit. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt in Deiner Villa!!!

Un coin de paradis
Nous avons visité en famille de 5 (2 adultes et 3 enfants) et avons passé un super séjour. Tout d'abord, Benoît était très accueillant et informatif et nous nous sommes immédiatement sentis calmes. La maison est située dans un endroit magique surplombant la mer depuis son immense terrasse et est accessible à pied par son propre pont privé, unique et très spécial. C'était une courte promenade jusqu'à la plage avec une bonne baignade. À l'intérieur, la maison était très confortable, avait une ambiance chaleureuse et était spacieuse. C'était assez grandiose avec de hauts plafonds et des fenêtres. La maison a tout ce dont vous auriez besoin et une cuisine bien équipée. Eze est un choix fantastique et notre partie préférée de la Côte d'Azur - beaucoup d'intérêt architectural et un accès facile au train pour visiter Monaco, Nice ou l'Italie. Nous reviendrions dans la magnifique propriété de Benoît sans hésiter.

Kurzurlaub über Ostern
Das Haus hat Charakter und ist typisch französisch und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben es sehr genossen, dass keine unmittelbaren Nachbarn da sind. Der Weg zum Haus ist doch recht anstrengend, wenn man mehrmals am Tag das Haus verlässt, ist das etwas mühsam (mit Hund habe ich einige 10.000 Schritte gemacht). Auch für den Weg zum Meer sollte man sehr sportlich sein. Aber für einen Kurzurlaub war es in Ordnung, vor allem die natürliche Umgebung, das schöne Haus und die grosse Terrasse sind Highlights.

Fabulous private perch on the French Mediterranean
If you’re looking for a place that feels like your personal, private côté du azuré, this is it. The house is comfortable. The terrace is magnificent in size with furniture and places to set up your favorite activity. The view is mesmerizing and unobstructed. There’s nobody obstructing your view or making noise.

Fantastic villa overlooking a beautiful beach!
This beautiful villa is one of the most unique properties we ever stayed at! The location of the property, close to Monaco and Cap Ferrat and Nice, as well as all the lovely villages to visit in between, is perfectly situated and makes it a great home base for at least a week. We would have happily stayed longer! The setting is spectacular with ocean views, in front of Mala Beach so you can hear the waves crashing from the very spacious terrace with comfortable lounge chairs and patio furniture. Situated in a lush green canyon with its own private walking bridge, you are surrounded by nature and the beauty of the Cote D’Azur. We loved the unique placement (about a 6 minute walk from the main road) it felt like we were staying in a park and enjoyed the walk as part of the experience. The house is tastefully appointed with lovely art and furnishings typical of the South of France with comfortable bedding in all 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom en suite with private balconies upstairs is a jewel. The train passing by is really not an issue, as it only runs a few times a day zipping by for 5 seconds. Benoit the owner is a very gracious and welcoming host providing assistance with things to do in the area, tasty restaurant recommendations 👍, taxi & transportation information - very helpful and responsive. We give our whole experience here five stars and highly recommend it. We hope to return sometime! Thank you Benoit for an amazing time with our whole family!

Perfect in every way
Amazing location, easy to get to - yes the walk from the road is a bit steep but doesn’t take long and we pack in separate bags anyway so not a challenge. The house is well laid out with multiple terraces and rooms on different level that allow quiet time, shade, sun - whatever ata by time of day. We picked the property as a base for Monaco Grand Prix but it turned out to be one of the best holidays as well. Benoit is helpful, available and knowledgeable and we were very grateful that he steered us away from using the bus/train to get into Monaco - there really isn’t the traffic congestion. Some of the F1 forums bang on about. And plenty of easy parking. We all like trains - and they’re not noisy so if you do the Google Earth search don’t be put off by the adjacent railway line. The beach has some history which was interesting to me. Not only as a local jetty but during the many wars of the 18th/19th C. Highly recommended and as long as you don’t have a medical condition or disability enjoy the luxury of good exercise as you head back up to the road.
