        <p itemprop="description">Our favourite place to holiday is France and this is our favourite place in France! ..this was actually a quote from my 22 year old son.  We had extremely high expectations from the pictures and the description on Owners Abroad we were actually looking for a place in Provence but stumbled across this villa and it just had to be the one. We are well travelled and have stayed in some fabulous places but from the moment we arrived, all of our expectations have been surpassed. The views from the terrace alone are worth the rental, it is not cheap but it is worth every penny. The property is beautiful and the furnishing is very tasteful ( you can tell it is owned by a couple with artistic style) - the layout of the villa just flows naturally .. The kitchen opens out to the main terrace and 'chimney BBQ' which works perfectly .. The pool ( which is a great size) is just a few steps further. Laying on a lilo in the pool looking up at Baou des Noirs (the mountain above the villa..at 675 meters not sure if it's a mountain or large hill ) is so tranquil.The living floor is open plan with large viranda doors off the lounge lead  to the terraced dining area and pool area so that when you are inside you feels like you are outside, it so bright and airy. The bedrooms all have patio doors onto different terraces.  The grounds are befitting a 5 star hotel (all to yourself!) with compartmentalised garden areas all with their own seating / tables. The pool is framed on one side with very mature palm trees , and a patio area overlooking Vance, across St Paul de Vence and to Cagnes Sur Mer and the Mediterranean Sea beyond , other other side by the face of Baou des Noirs. The villa is very private and not overlooked at all. Our mornings have been spent at markets, in Vence ( which is a lovely town with great amenities) or in St Paul which is stunning (I believe it's the most visited village in France). We trekked up to the summit of Baou des Noirs early morning (6 am), following a path that leads up from the end of the villa..it's a 2 - 3 hour round hike but well worth it for the views, plants and butterflies  - photography is my hobby and fellow photographers will not be disappointed. Afternoons spent  with a French style lunch ( long with plenty of wine) followed by a swim ( we asked for the pool to be heated, which is extra cost, but we do live in the Middle East and are probably less hardy in this regard than most, plus it's early mid-season)... Late afternoons were spend on the purpose built pétanque pitch ( is 'pitch' the word?) followed by dinner / BBQ and card games on the terrace. My sons ( teens / early 20's) love to round off the day watching movies and my only (small) criticism is the TV is quite a small screen . The villa is so perfect that we (and I'm sure all guests) treat it like you would your own property... Everything looks so new and perhaps it is. I am conscious that this is such a glowing review I just want to confirm that I do not know the owners however John , who I dealt with via email is exceptionally helpful and  easy to deal with. I would like to thank both John and Lynda for allowing us to stay at this wonderful property - we will cerainly be back ... I almost deleted this review to stave off competition for future availability. Le Fin.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Five Stars! We have stayed at Villa Le Cougnet several times now and it is perfect for all the family. The villa is beautiful, luxurious and very well equipped. The pool is fantastic for swimming or relaxing and ideal for small children. It really is a safe, peaceful home from home with absolutely spectacular panoramic views of the sea and mountains. The old town of Vence is packed with history and plenty of restaurants and regular markets. The beaches are clean and there are good children’s activities nearby. We even went to the market in Italy, about an hour away. The English-speaking housekeeper met us and showed us how everything works and she comes twice a week. Other places we have rented have been slightly disappointing but this one is heavenly!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">This is an amazing holiday home and the views are just extraordinary, better than the photos on the website. Everything in the villa is good quality and in excellent condition. The gardens are lovely and the pool is next to the house so it is all very comfortable and convenient. It's very peaceful setting too, with no overlooking properties and very private with its own electric gates. Even better than we had expected!</p>
