The Cote d’Azur lifestyle

Just a short note to say we're still alive at RHF, we're working very hard finding homes for various clients... Luckily this hard work takes place in the South of France, and a girl has to have lunch on the beach from time to time - with or without clients, feet in the sand, sun on your hair - and I am talking end October !! I made the aquarelle above (the beach of Golfe Juan) a week ago... isn't it wonderful over here!
If you are in the rain and the cold in the North thinking "wish I was there"... don't hesitate to give us a call - we have the properties to go with your your longing for the Côte d'Azur lifestyle!

La Garde Freinet

I have been painting a very nice house with a great view, in La Garde Freinet!
La Garde-Freinet is a nice old town, 20 kilometers from St Tropez. Pleasant, typical South-French, with lots of shops and restaurants. The old part of the village is built in the 16th century. There you'll find the romantic, narrow little streets, sometimes carved through the rocks. Near la Garde Freinet were - and are - chestnut groves. The town is popular by the locals and people from nearby villages as well as tourists, for their local chestnut jam (confiture marron) and chestnut honey (miel chataignier). You can buy them at the famous "Confiturerie des Gambades".

St Tropez II

As I mentioned before, the St Tropez area is very popular! Here we have a lovely, modern style villa, again in St Tropez. Soon to be sold by my colleage Pia Frei, out of the RHF office on the Place Celli in the center of Saint Tropez. And not only our clients love it there! I am very fond of St Trop also, we sail there a lot and are looking forward to the "Voiles de Saint Tropez" in October - a big prestigeous, international regatta, with a lot of fun on the glamorous "land" as well! Sailing and then partying with colleagues and celebrities, who wouldn't like that....

This is a pic of an earlier Voiles de St Tropez... I'll keep you "posted"

St Tropez

The coming posts will all be about villa's in (the neighbourhood of) St Tropez! This trendy, vibrant area is very popular all of a sudden with Riviera Home Finders' clients!
The villa shown here is painted by the talented aquarellista Marina Teding van Berkhout - from the Marina Artists Team - worth a compliment as she made it look like the fantastic house that it actually is...
It has a terrific seaview
Of course it has all luxury and quality finishings, a 60m² salon, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, cave, floor heating and air conditioning...
It also has an independent appartment and a poolhouse, with the pool , which measures 11 x 4.50 meters and has a large sun terrace.
The villa is constructed with a main house and two wings so that it can optimally profit of the sun
If you want to be where the action is, go look on our site, in the St Tropez area - we have a couple of houses left but they are selling fast! Watch this space for more...

Villefranche II

The town "Villefranche" dates back to 130 BC. It was officially established by Charles II, Duke of Anjou, in 1295, to protect the coastline from pirate attacks. The Citadelle, the venue where "my" Salon took place, was created to defend the port and the coastline even better, by the duke of Savoy. The construction started in 1566, based on and using a quite new defense system that integrated innovations of artillery and the use of gunpowder... It is trapeze shaped, the long sides along the sea, a deep canal around it and you need to cross a bridge to enter.
In 1965 the town bought back the citadelle and nowadays it houses the city hall, museums and an open air theatre. The population of Villefranche is around 7000 - still a small town!

Inside the citadelle - an art salon going on.
