Well equipped villa near mougin center
My family and I stayed at Alex and Laurence's lovely villa for a week long stay. They are very gracious hosts and the property is quite lovely. The kitchen is well supplied, and there is a lot of rooms for guests. Limited English-language TV is available on the satellite, along with many other stations in various languages. Internet access was solid and worked through most of the house, but not out by the pool.
You must be aware of a few things, however. First, the location shown on the VRBO map is wrong. It shows it in the outside wall of the old city of Mougins. This would be an ideal location, and we paid a premium thinking we could walk to restaurants in town. It is, in fact, 3 km outside the city, on the very outskirts of Mougins (on the road to Valbon). We did not learn of this discrepancy until it was too late to find other accommodations.
We were also surprised by charges for electricity used and a cleaning fee of 150 Euro. The electric charge was minimal, but it went mostly to run the pool pump for a pool that was not heated and not really usable during our stay (too cold). The property advertises a jacuzzi, but it was not usable at a water temp of 70 degrees. The Angel's gave us the option of cleaning the house ourselves, so the cleaning fee was not mandatory, but it is also not shown in the listing. All this is paid out of the 1200 Euro cash deposit required on arrival.
Beds were all fantastic for sleeping with nice pillows and down comforters. Really very comfortable. There was also an annoying lack of some basic paper products, like napkins and tissues that most US rentals would have supplied.
All in all, I would recommend the place to friends, so long as they are aware of these few issues.
