Château Marteret
Château Marteret is a luxurious seven-room fairy tale villa rental framed by four centuries-old cedars and set into the middle of 180 hectares of land.
The villa is almost like a little oasis right in the middle of Antibes. Our gardens have a very Provençal feeling with olive trees, rosemary, and lavender.
Villa d’Antibes
Located a short stroll away from the old town of Antibes and the beaches around Cap d’Antibes.
How would you describe Villa d’Antibes in a nutshell?
Villa d’Antibes is a unique and luxurious vacation rental home in Antibes on the Côte d’Azur. This Belle Epoque vacation villa was built in 1926 and fully renovated to include all modern conveniences while maintaining the historic charm of the property.
How would you describe the atmosphere at the villa?
The atmosphere at Villa d’Antibes is very tranquil; you will automatically feel at ease. The villa is an oasis tucked in a quiet residential area near the old town of Antibes. Our well-manicured Provençale-style garden is filled with olive trees, rosemary, lavender, and cypress trees.
The villa is a protected historic landmark that was completely renovated using only high-end materials. We offer our guests the highest comforts, beautiful views of the surrounding landscapes and many quiet and secluded places to relax.
What type of guest is the villa perfect for, and which guests should choose something else?
If someone wants peace and quiet in their accommodation but at the same time desires to be close to restaurants, the beach and city center, Villa d’Antibes is ideally located. We are perfect for families with children or a group of friends who want to meet up somewhere around the world to spend a week together in a luxurious vacation villa near the sea.
People who should shy away are those who prefer to party as we offer a more tranquil setting in the midst of the city center. Our goal is to ensure that our guests can have some peace and privacy while here and go into the city if they want to experience a more fast-paced environment.
Families with children who are looking for a nice family vacation will find Villa d’Antibes ideal, as they can all be together yet have a lot of privacy. Baby cots and high chairs are available at no additional charge. We do however ask guests to bring their own baby blanket for the cot.
What are the highlights of the French Riviera?
The French Riviera is an incredibly beautiful and glamorous place to spend a holiday — especially during the summer season. Guests enjoy the beautiful beaches, go yachting or waterskiing in the Mediterranean, spend time in towns such as Cannes, St. Tropez, St Jean Cap Ferrat, and Nice, or explore some of the historic villages such as Saint-Paul de Vence, Grasse, and Eze.
For guests who visit during the summer, we recommend driving up to one of the villages in Provence such as Gordes to see lavender fields in full bloom and to visit the charming and historic town of Aix-en-Provence.
It is a luxury villa rental on 4 levels which can accommodate up to 8 guests. For our guests’ comfort each of the 5 bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, two of which have bathtubs as well as a shower. The house also has plenty of comfortable areas where guests can relax in privacy including a large garden.
We have a large kitchen and two living rooms: a formal one and a more casual TV area, which is great for hanging out. In the garden, we have a formal dining area with a round table for 10 guests. We also have a comfortable informal dining area next to the pool as well as an outdoor kitchen.
A heated saltwater pool is available as well as a deck with lounge chairs and pool dining with an outdoor kitchen that includes a gas barbecue, dishwasher, refrigerator, dishes, silverware, etc.
The bedroom on the top floor is the Penthouse, which has high, vaulted ceilings and directly connected to the roof terrace. The third floor has 3 bedrooms – Chambre Rouge with a double bed and en-suite bathroom with shower. The Master bedroom has a small balcony, a built-in desk, and a luxurious bathroom clad in Carrara marble with large soaking tub and separate shower. Also on this floor is Chambre Grise with a double bed and en-suite bathroom with shower. There are no bedrooms on the ground floor but another one on the lower level that opens up onto a nice little private garden next to the swimming pool.
The villa is usually rented out as a self-catering vacation home. However, we can recommend several caterers who can come to the house to prepare a gourmet meal. Our kitchens are fully equipped and can be used by our guests at any time.
Daily minimal housecleaning is included in the stay but we can also organize delivery of groceries and can introduce guests to tour guides who will take them around the city.
Provided for our guests is a little guidebook that describes the region and includes our favorite places to visit and restaurants to eat at. Before their arrival at the villa rental we give our guests all the basic information they need. During their stay there is a manager available almost 24/7 for any questions that might arise.
Our guests enjoy spending their time relaxing by the pool or in one of relaxing areas we have available throughout the villa. Those guests who do venture out visit the traditional Provençale market in Antibes where they can pick up locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Within a 15-minute walk from the villa, you can take a 20-minute boat ride to Île Sainte-Marguerite. This island is a nature preserve where people can picnic and go for a swim. During the summer, boats from this same port leave for St. Tropez, Cannes, and even Monaco.
Five mins away is La Salis Beach, which is a gorgeous sandy beach with clear azur-blue water, protected from the harbor. There’s a private beach club called Royal Beach where guests can rent beach chairs and enjoy a nice meal or an apertif.
About 10 minutes away is the start of a beautiful walk around Cap d’Antibes. It’s about a 90-minute walk with little alcoves tucked away between the rocks where you can swim, snorkel, and even paddle board.
Plage Garoupe is one of the best beaches on Cap d’Antibes where the famous beach club Plage Keller is located.
Villa d’Antibes is centrally located on the French Riviera between Cannes and Nice. The villa is 20 mins from the Nice Côte d’Azur airport and a short stroll from Antibes’ old town and the beach. Many of our guests really appreciate the convenience of the location and many come without renting a car. They also appreciate that the villa tucked away in a quiet residential area near Antibes but so close to restaurants, bars, and shops in town.
One of the main reasons why people adore the French Riviera is the amazing weather. We have 300 days of sunshine every year. The climate here is fantastic. During the summer months, the weather never gets overly hot or humid and the sea provides refreshing breezes. Antibes is also known for its beautiful white-sand beaches and the clear blue water.
The access that you have the villa other vacation spots is also another reason we chose Antibes. We are 45 mins away from the Italian border, an hour from Provence, and 90 mins from the ski resorts in the region.
We always have sun, even during winter, so each season has its own particular charm. Our guests visit throughout the year as Antibes’ restaurants and shops remain open.
Our peak season is June through September. June is a great time to visit as things are a bit quieter as children are still in school and Antibes is not too crowded. July and August are the peak months for guests in the region and there are lots of outdoor activities such as the famous Antibes Jazz Festival in July and weekly firework shows.
Some of our guests prefer coming in September as the Mediterranean Sea remains warm and there are fewer crowds. The private beaches are also open in September.
Our winter vacation guests are different from those coming to stay in the summer. They prefer a quieter ambiance and enjoy more cultural activities such as the many museums and historic towns in the region. Some guests come to Antibes and go skiing in the Alps near us (90 mins away).
