Maison de la Tour is a 17th century town house in the oldest part of Antibes which is also a quiet pedestrian area. It has been fully renovated combining Provençal charm with all modern amenities.
It is the perfect base to explore the Cote d'Azur, just relax and/or prepare wonderful meals throughout the year. This unique and spacious house with its private en-suite bathrooms suits couples or families with children.
This 3 floor town house is situated in a lovely pedestrian area, just behind Porte de l'Orme, one of the ancient city gates in the oldest part of Antibes, a stone throw from the covered Provençal market, the Picasso museum, the harbor, the sea and of course, many excellent local restaurants and shops. The closest public beach is just 2 minutes walk away.
From the exceptional sun kissed roof terrace, you will be able to enjoy a 360 degree view over Vieil Antibes, the sea , the mountains and even Nice and Cap Ferrat. The stylish lounge/dining area, which comfortably sits 6, has wonderful dim-able lighting for the evening and a large parasol to protect you from the sun during the hotter hours of the day. It is the perfect place to have breakfast, dine or just relax after a day on the beach. The large Weber gas barbecue (E320 Classic) allows you to have nice grill parties "with a view".
Maison de la Tour retains many period features like white-washed wooden ceilings and beams, oak doors, terracotta and traditionally painted cement tiles. One of the rooms even has a vaulted ceiling and a working, antique wood burning fire place.
Each of the double bedrooms (chambre des drapeaux has 2 twin beds 90x200, chambre des rames has a brass king-size bed 160x200 and chambre de l'ancre has a brass super king-size bed 180-200) has its own stylish bathroom (2 with large shower cabins and one with a bathtub/shower) with retro, chrome fittings. The finest Egyptian cotton linen and high quality towels, including beach towels, have been chosen for your comfort. Each of them also has a flat screen TV, a DVD player (multi-regional), Apple TV and a subscription to Netflix. Wifi is available throughout the house including the roof terrace.
The large modern living kitchen/dining room is situated on the 3rd floor, just below the roof terrace. It has been equipped with every gadget an amateur chef needs to prepare a perfect meal with local delicacies bought in the nearby Provençal market. It also includes 2 large fridges, one of them a Liebherr with an ice maker to ensure that you can enjoy properly chilled drinks.
I offer a personalised concierge service making your stay in this beautiful place a unique experience.
Please note that we welcome new mums and to this effect have purchased a new crib available in Maison de la Tour.
Vieil Antibes , where Maison de la Tour is located is a pedestrian area and the most beautiful and historic part of town The sea, the Provencal market and the Picasso museum are less than 5 minutes walk from the house. It is the perfect base to explore the South of France.
The many period features combined with all modern amenities will provide you with a unique holiday experience.
Personally , when I first saw the house, I fell in love with the roof terrace from which one has a wonderful view over the old town, the sea and the mountains. To me it is a truly amazing place to relax and/or dine.
This is a beautiful place in a great location with 3 bathrooms an a nice kitchen. On the outdoor deck at our first night dinner meal I sat down on a chair and fell back against the guard rail. Later when I took my shower the handle of the valve fell apart into the tub. And the next day my son mentioned his shower in another bathroom would not drain properly. On our last day we received a notice from our travel agency warning us of travel disruptions due to the rail strike. We were forced to leave early and were completely distracted by strike causing cancellations to most trains from Marseille that day. After later communicating with the property owner, he informed us he was charging us 600 euros for the broken chair which my family did not cause. I certainly feel he took advantage of us and warn others he can not be trusted.
This house is beautiful! You could spend your whole time on the roof deck if there weren’t a million sights to see in the area. There are 5 floors total with the roof deck - so lots of stairs - but lots of space and everything you need for a perfect holiday. Ivan is a wonderful host - always got back to me quickly with any questions - and very helpful when half of our group got delayed checking in by travel mishaps - he made sure family members got checked in and settled. Don’t hesitate to book here! Antibes is a perfect base to explore the area.
We had a wonderful stay in Maison de la Tour. The location is fantastic, the house is clean and fabulously decorated, the many stairs a well-need "workout" with all the eating and drinking. I can't say enough about what a great place this is. We arrived to meet Hannah, who gave us a rundown of the place and left goodies, as well as grocery requests we made in advance. She had some great restaurant suggestions, as well as tips on the best mode of transportation for various day trips. Thanks, Hannah!
I wish I could rave about the weather, but, February in Antibes may not be the best time of year...
Would love to go back. Highly recommend.
Thanks for having us.
We loved Antibes, Ivan’s place was lovely and a perfect location. You are within walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We hope to go back soon.
First of all, Ivan is a fantastic host. We arrived late, but he patiently waited for us. He helped us arrange transportation to the airport and checked in on us throughout our stay and is just extremely pleasant and caring. Upon our arrival he had a bottle of wine waiting for us along with a platter of local delicacies! The location of the apartment couldn't be better - close to beaches and the old market with lovely top floor views of the old town and the sea. The kitchen was well equipped as was the entire house. We had a great stay!
My family and I had a lovely stay at Maison de la Tour. Ivan is a very gracious host who helped get our holiday started in just the right way with a welcome platter of savory and baked goods from a local Boulangerie. The townhouse is extremely well appointed with everything we needed for a week next to the Mediterranean. The sunsets from the top terrace are spectacular to watch. A local market and lovely shops are just steps away. Be sure to stop by Café Milano for a delicious meal. We loved our time in Antibes and Ivan went out of his way to make it feel special.
