Rue Gambetta, Saorge
This is a genuinely remarkable house, with stunning views across the rooftops of a medieval village towards the mountains. It is close to fascinating archaeological sites and the beaches around Menton are easily accessible. There is also great swimming in a local river. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful and the house is cool. Visitors should be aware that the house is not appropriate for persons with mobility issues, as it not accessible by car and is located at the top of a steep village, cut into the rock. Our stay was truly memorable and we recommend the house and the region very warmly. All of us hope to return soon.

Exceptionnel!
Séjour très chouette en famille avec ados et pré-ado. Saorge est un village atypique et ça vaut le coup de le découvrir. La maison est très agréable, simple, très propre, faite avec des matériaux nobles et du sur-mesure. La vue de la terrasse est magnifique. On s'y sent bien. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Mélanie, qui est adorable. Quant à Charlie, pour la rencontrer, il faut le mériter;) en faisant quelques heures de marche pour la rejoindre dans sa montagne! ça vaut le coup, elle y rayonne! Nous avons adoré ces vacances ! Merci à tous!

tussen hemel en aarde
Ons gezin heeft 100% genoten van deze unieke locatie. Letterlijk tussen hemel en aarde ligt de woonst van Charlie. Gerieflijk, alles aanwezig en functioneel. Een ideale plek voor 4 personen die "gewoon" willen instappen in het dagelijkse leven van die plek. We hebben genoten van de rust, van het huis, van de eigenaars, van Saorge zelf en van de omgeving. De relatie en communicatie met de eigenaar verliep hartelijk en vlot. Een echte aanrader !!

Adresse idéale pour une famille
Une maison atypique (on rentre par la chambre parentale) tout en bois, 2 chambres d'enfants très agréables, beaux livres jeunesse et adultes, jouets, belle terrasse qui domine le magnifique village de Saorge. Les enfants ont adoré arpenter les ruelles, descendre à la rivière à pied...

Wonderful, authentic house in beautiful Saorge
We had a great stay! We felt like we were house-sitting for friends which means the gîte is very well equipped. Gorgeous terrasse with stunning views over the top of the village and the surrounding mountains. If you want to experience what it is like to live in a pedestrian only village perched on a steep hillside, this is it. The village is not just quaint, but a vital non-touristy community with very narrow streets and passageways throughout. Be prepared to walk, and pack accordingly since your luggage and provisions must be carried in. Ask the very kind hosts about the trail down to "Bendola Sauvage" for an extraordinary day on a river with wonderful clear pools of water and enormous boulders scattered about.
