“Feels like paradise…”

We liked everything: room, location, breakfast,… :-) It’s like a paradise there. Mathieu, Cedric & Fluppy are the best hosts ever. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful, amazing and wonderful.

“Beautiful place with wonderful hosts”

A wonderful place to stay. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby, although the highlight of our days was always returning to the beautiful gardens and pool. But what really makes this 10/10 is the friendliness of Mathieu, Cedric, Mathieu's mother and Floupy the dog. Nothing was too much trouble for Mathieu, the breakfasts and evening meal were excellent and he had great suggestions for what to do during the day.

“A wonderful stay in paradise - super relaxing with amazing care from the wonderful owners”

This is a magical place to stay - a gorgeous house which has been lovingly restored on the edge of a super picturesque town. But what makes this place really stand out is the incredible attention to detail from the owners. Matthieu provides a first class breakfast and bakes something new (and delicious) every day. He was incredibly helpful with tips about where to go. The property is one of the most relaxing places I’ve ever stayed. The bed is super comfy, there are 300 year old olive trees in the garden, the pool is huge. There is even the world’s cutest dog on hand for petting. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

“Great place to stay away of big cities and hassle”

Very beautiful place and privacy

“A Stunning French Gem”

L'Effrontee is stunning place to stay, a little Gem.. so beautiful!! and Mathieu, Cedric an Lucy welcomed us with open arms. We shared a family meal on the terrace and it was so nice to be able to chat and enjoy lovely homemade food. Even all the preserves and the breakfasts were delicious with nice daily specials made by Mathieu. The house is very stylish and an oasis of peace and calm, with wonderful views from our bedroom window. Transfer from the airport was so smooth and well organised, we opted not to have a car, Mathieu organised a taxi for us to visit St Paul De Vence and gave us lots of suggestions where to visit in the village. The swimming pool is also so gorgeous and the dragonflies we fun to watch zooming around the gardens, nothing was too much trouble. a lovely piece of heaven, it provided us with a wonderful relaxing break after a tough 7 months, don't hesitate to book. We will be back again.

“What’s not to like.”

It's not often you stumble upon such a unique and fantastic place as L’effrontee. The location, the house, the view and the pool (and the smell of lavender) are absolutely wonderful. But the cornerstone of this undertaking is the warm-hearted, caring and inclusive family; Mathieu, Cédric and Lucy. ….. and don’t forget to try Mathieu’s authentic and tasteful cooking🤗

“An exceptionally stylish property with absolutely charming owners.”

The garden with its many lounge areas, the clean and warm pool, the breakfast terrace, and the attitude of the owners.

“A 10 out of 10 stay. We definitely hope to come again. Highly recommend!”

We spent a memorable 10 nights at the beautiful L’ Effrontée BnB during May 2024. Anyone looking to have a relaxing and well positioned stay in the Cote d’ Azure I urge you to consider the wonderful L’ Effrontée minutes outside of the charming town of Tourettes Sur Loup. The host Mathieu, warmly welcomes all of his guests to feel right at home in his stunning stone residence and lounge in the surroundings of the perfectly kept gardens and pool deck areas. The breakfast included in the stay is an absolute highlight of Mathieu’s hospitality. Every morning between 8-10am a freshly prepared spread of fruit, coffee, juice, baguettes, croissant, cheeses and a changing daily special awaits on the outdoor patio area. Being that L’ Effrontée has only 3 guest rooms, it never feels over run or crowded. We stayed in the upstairs Momosa suite which had beautiful views towards the mountains and the coastline in the distance. Mathieu is a talented chef and can prepare delicious meals for dinner for his guests for a set cost on request. We also loved spending time with their little dog Floopy who enjoys hanging out at breakfast time and chilling out on the pool deck in the sun.

“The whole experience was perfect.”

The owners were delightful and made me feel very welcome. Easy walk into the village.

“Lovely French country house”

Perfect location close to a cozy village with top class restaurants. Mathieu gave us a warm welcome and offered us a drink when we arrived. The room was lovely with its own terrace overlooking the beautiful garden and pool area. The bed was super comfy with soft linen sheets. Every little detail inside and outside the house was perfect. The home made breakfast was 10/10. Definitely coming back, Thank you 🙏

“Adorable!”

The best place to relax! The owners put their soul into the house and take care of every little detail! You feel at home and enjoy every minute! Thank you Mathieu and the family for your hospitality, kind care, sightseeing tips and wonderful dinners! All this made our short spring break unforgettable!

“Our stay at L'Effrontée was fantastic, great place, so clean - excellent breakfast”

Our experience at L'Effrontée was truly wonderful, despite the less-than-ideal weather. Mathieu, our gracious host, played a significant role in making our stay memorable. The rooms were not only exceptionally clean but also exuded a delightful charm. The breakfast served was of the highest quality, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. The convenience of their private parking made our stay even more enjoyable, and the proximity to the city made exploring on foot a breeze. The pool area was a standout feature, providing a serene and inviting space. Mathieu's assistance in securing a restaurant reservation and offering valuable suggestions for activities added a personalized touch to our visit. With such a positive experience, we are eager to return to L'Effrontée in the future.

“Stylish country charm”

A wonderful, intimate country house, impeccably styled and maintained by Mathieu. The pool is large, the breakfast is fresh and the hospitality from Mathieu, Lucy (Mum), Cedric and Floopy (Yorkie) is incredibly warm and welcoming. Great views and an easy walk into Tourettes make L'Effrontée just about perfect. Absolutely loved our stay.

“Absolutely fantastic!”

L’Effrontee was simply gorgeous , a wonderful house and a wonderful host, Mattieux ! The house is tucked away in the hills surrounding Tourettes sur Loup with an easy 10 minute walk into the village. Upon arrival we were greeted by the host Mattieux and his little dog, Floppy, absolutely adorable. Mattieux is very, very nice and accommodating, he feels like an old friend. We were briefed about the house and then we had a welcome cocktail by the pool. The house is so tastefully decorated, as is the pool area and the rest of the garden. It was our last 2 nights in Provence so we just wanted to relax and we did just that, lounging by the pool, having a delicious lunch, ice ream and drinks. Our host suggested excursions and recommended several restaurants in the village,one of which we visited the first evening. The last evening we opted for the ” host dinner ” with Mattieux,his very nice mother and the other couple who was staying at L’ Effrontte,. Food was delicious, a 3 course dinner with drinks and pree cocktails!! It was by far the nicest evening we had during our holiday, Mattiuex being a wonderful host.As was his mother, a lady with a wicked sense of humor! All in all we had the best stay imaginable and we will be back for sure!

“Amazingly beautiful and well situated place with incredible warm host. A real must-go!”

Beautiful building in a very calm area that is still very close to several amazing smaller old towns but also eg Nice. The rooms and shared areas are super stylish, the whole property is visually very pleasing. The rooms are quite big, definitely spacious enough. The property also had an amazing pool and area to sunbathe combined with a perfectly kept garden. The host is incredibly welcoming and warm, he takes amazing good care of the guests. The overall atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant. L‘Effrontée is such a gem, 10/10.

“Amazing stay from all aspects. The Villa is incredible, breakfast is awesome, extremely recommendedy”

The place is amazing, Matt and his family did above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, we spend our last 3 nights in L’Effrontee, and it was the peak of our trip. Every little detail and request was served in the best way, always with a smile.

Very comfortable and relaxing pool and garden feels like a resort without the crowds, also the ambience, and Mathieus’ excellent food and service
