Seven houses, one old town.
Our Antibes rentals are unlike any others on the Riviera: seven privately owned houses inside the ramparts of the old town, each hand-restored and hosted by us. Holiday rentals or vacation rentals — whatever you call them, they come with live availability, transparent pricing and direct booking.
Booking direct, and what it changes
Every house on this page is ours. We restored them, we let them, and we are the people who answer when you write — there is no agency between us, and no listing platform taking a cut of what you pay. The rates you see above are live, and so is the availability: the calendar on each house page is the same one we work from, not a snapshot updated when someone remembers.
In practice that means the price is the price. A booking is confirmed with a deposit of half the stay, the balance falls due two months before you arrive, and the payment goes through a secure checkout with no service fee added at the last screen. If a house turns out not to suit you, we would rather move you to another one of ours than hold you to it — which is a conversation you can have with an owner and cannot have with a booking engine.
It also changes the arrival. We meet guests ourselves, the house is prepared by people we know, and you get a welcome guide written for that particular address rather than for the town in general — where the bakery is that is worth the detour, which beach is sheltered when the wind turns, which lane is loud on a Saturday. None of that scales, which is exactly why we have seven houses and not seventy.
Behind all seven there are two people rather than a company. We chose each house one at a time, over years, and restored them one at a time — which is why they have nothing in common architecturally and everything in common in the way they are kept. There is no standard layout, no repeated furniture, no house that exists because it rounded the collection up to a number. It also means that when you write to ask whether the terrace is shaded at four in the afternoon, the answer comes from someone who has sat on it.
For two, for a family, for six
The seven divide roughly into three. There is one house built for a couple, with a walled garden instead of a view. There are four with two bedrooms, most of them looking at the sea from a terrace, a roof or a balcony. And there are two with three en-suite bedrooms, which are the ones that work for a family with older children, or for three couples travelling together without anyone drawing the short straw.
Which of them is right for you usually comes down to something other than the number of beds — stairs, whether you want to eat outside every night, how early the street wakes up. We wrote a longer page about exactly that, house by house, and it is more useful than this paragraph.
