La Pierre du Soleil
La Pierre du Soleil is a gorgeous, stone house for rent (230m2) with plenty of charm, outside dining and 4 bedrooms. Through an iron gate, there are approximately 7 steps from the street to the terrace. The main entrance to La Pierre du Soleil is accessed from the garden terrace. In brief, it takes you into a compact kitchen with the usual appliances. Such as fridge, freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, oven and cooktop. After that, you arrive in a large, open sitting-dining room with comfy sofas, a fireplace and dining table. Similarly French doors lead back to the main terrace. From this level, a half dozen stairs lead to the mezzanine level.

The house also has a washing machine and dryer located in the utility room. There are fans for the warm months. There is a garage for a small-medium sized car. This is due to size and access.
TERRACE

There is a large dining table, chairs and gas BBQ. In a addition, there is a parasol and sun loungers for guests who wish to sunshine.
To summarise, this stone house is rented to a maximum of 7 adults with some flexibility with children. La Pierre du Soleil is close to the village paying car park and free parking areas. Similarly, the bus stop to the town below and the Castle Square with restaurants are close by.
This charming, holiday rental is about a 10 minute walk to the town with its amenities. For instance, there is a food market, supermarkets, bakeries, chemists, banks and selection of shops. The town has a good bus service and there is a train station. Equally important, the sea is about a 30 minute walk and there is a free beach bus in July and August.
**IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE!
1. Haut de Cagnes is the medieval village of Cagnes sur Mer. It is a charming, perched village on a hill with a Castle on top. We are very lucky that we can walk to restaurants, markets, shops. We have a free, shuttle bus that runs from town to village every 15 minutes and takes 5 minutes. There is a good bus and train service from the town to most places on the Cote d'Azur. That said - if you have walking disabilities or health issues - the medieval village may not be the best choice for you.
2. Haut de Cagnes is one of the few medieval villages that allows cars to drive through it, however cars cannot access all streets and roads are naturally narrow. We do have some free street parking and a paying car parks in the village and in the town below but the summer is a busy time here so some patience is required. YOU DO NOT NEED A CAR HERE as we are within walking distance to so many things and there is a good public transport service. If you choose to bring a car - please note that parking and driving can be stressful on the Cote d'Azur in general over the summer months. You may want to consider renting a car for only part of your journey once you have settled into the village. If you choose to bring a car, I will provide you with maps and parking details. The house garage can fit a small-medium sized car.
