The Experience
This genteel old place, once a sheepfold, has been in Xavier’s family since the 1850s. It’s set high on a hill above the seaside resort of Golfe-Juan and has a two-tiered terrace extension overlooking the garden with wonderful views down to the coast.
Two bedrooms are in the main house and another two are in a separate attached building with a private terrace and external entrance. The farmhouse-style kitchen has all the mod-cons you need and has a table big enough to dine all together, or you can eat on the adjoining terrace or by the pool.
It’s utterly peaceful here: you can see cars moving along the coast road but it’s like watching a silent film. The large garden isn’t overlooked, and a stepped path leads past olive groves, some thought to be 500-700 years old and planted originally by local monks who lived on nearby Ile Saint-Honorat, as well as giant palms, lemon trees and cacti.

The view across the Riviera is stunning yet it's so peaceful, private and relaxing. The house feels so authentic with a rustic, almost agricultural charm yet you are within walking distance of the seafront, yachts and beach side restaurants. The garden is great with a large pool terrace area and range of palm trees and 700-year old olive trees to walk amongst.

Location
The neighbourhood
Walk to Vallauris in 20 minutes or drive in five - it has a Picasso museum and lots of potteries and ceramics shops; Golfe-Juan (30-minute walk) has a large marina of superyachts and plenty of good Italian and seafood restaurants. Xavier also recommends Cap Riviera in Juan-les-Pins, which is good value for money. Nice Airport is a 20-minute drive and you can catch the train from Golfe-Juan.

Introducing
Edwina & Xavier De Boudemange
Owned by an Argentinian/French family, the house has been enjoyed by them for generations and at one time they harvested the orange blossom and jasmine from the hillside to send to the perfumeries in nearby Grasse – you'll see the copper stills in the basement. You'll meet the housekeeper Véronique who lives locally and can share plenty of tips and knowledge about the Riviera.
Edwina, the owner, was really helpful, friendly and kind, which was particularly welcome given all of the uncertainty this year. She was ably assisted by Mme Chandemerle, who met us at the property. It was the perfect location during the pandemic: it had everything we could want, fantastic views and a great pool, separate fridge and BBQ area next to the pool. All we had to do was get provisions. You do need transport. La Bergerie is the perfect combination of an old historic characterful building with ancient olive trees, coupled with modern conveniences.
