About the local area
Local shops, boulangeries & restaurants can be found just 800 metres away in the village of Biot. This charming old hilltop village is very popular with tourists and has a busy main street with craft shops, a tourist office and cafes in the square. The village is most famous for its glassmakers and it is possible to visit the ‘verreries’ and their gift shops. The town of Antibes is also very close-by for a large supermarket and a greater selection of shopping.
Local markets are held on a Tuesday morning in the village of Biot and almost everyday in Antibes. Here you can choose from a selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, olives and cheese.
Sporting activities in the area are abundant – there is the nearby golf course at Biot, tennis (raquets available on request), fishing, karting, water sports and the beach. You are also in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes region here, which makes walking and cycling very popular.
Beaches can be found just 4kms away at the Plage de la Siesta and also at Antibes.
The ski stations of Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are approximately 1 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!
Getting around is easy from here; there is a regular bus service to Antibes and along the coast, with a bus stop approximately 300 metres from the villa. Trains also run along the coast and the nearest station is 4km away at ‘Gare de Biot’. A car would be useful here but not essential.

REVIEWS
There is nothing not to love about this house and it`s gardens. Villa Valeriane is simply beautiful as are it`s gardens and swimming pool. It is furnished with light, comfy and modern furniture and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need and more. All the bedrooms are very comfortable as are the very modern and sleek bathrooms. The living area flows so nicely to the pool. We never wanted to leave the house ! It is very close to a lovely little shopping village and a short drive to beautiful Biot. We can`t wait to go again !! - Mrs L. from London, August 20.
Ideal, a lovely home well looked after by a caring and thoughtful owner. Pretty close to perfect – the pool, air conditioning, privacy and walking distance to Biot were the best features of the accommodation - Mr S. from Dorset, Aug 19.
The pool and the outside area was lovely, it also helped having air con in all the bedrooms, especially in the summer months. Perfect for a family of 6, great location and only 15 mins to the beach by car.

Very Satisfied - Mrs B from Antrim, July 2016
It was perfect, 5* accommodation. The pictures really don`t do it justice, I would suggest some new pictures ASAP. Air con, heated pool, fantastic views, comfortable beds, parking the list goes on. And only 25min drive to the south, Cannes, Monaco or Nice. We would stay here again, a little gem. It was first class service all the way.
