Guest reviews for L'Effrontée
"We loved everything about our stay here. Mathieu is absolutely charming and a wonderful host. His home and garden are magical - located on a quiet road and with a view of the sea. My husband loved the beautiful breakfasts and I loved the gluten free options that were available. Mathieu gave us wonderful advice for our day trips and helped me to make reservations for beautiful French restaurants where gluten free options were readily available. Everything one would dream about for a stay in France is right at L'Effrontee. Merci Mathieu!"
"Nothing. We wish we had stayed longer."
"We had a wonderful stay. Mathew was a fabulous host. Fluppy was our buddy and companion while we were there. We miss you all. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us. Hugs"

"The location was a short walk to the quaint village of Tourrettes Sur Loup, although a little far from Nice it was a perfect departing point to drive to Gorge du Verdon. It was a small, lovely, gated property with a beautiful pool. The main house rooms and bedrooms were comfy and decorated to perfection. Mathieu was an accommodating host and went out of his way to help us retrieve our bags from the airlines. He gave us great recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants. Homemade breakfast was wonderful with savory, sweet, and fresh fruit, much more than a continental and many refills on coffee!!! Porch setting for breakfast was peaceful, scenic, and relaxing. Floopy the adorable Yorkie won our heats!!!"

"Mathiew was just an Exceptional host. The property was meticulous and extremely beautiful. The magnolia room? WOW. Breakfast 🥞 was fantastic. Floofy the dog would let us know every morning that breakfast was ready. Love every minute of our stay."
"What I didn't like was that I couldn't pack up the whole place in my suitcase and take it all home."
"This tranquil place is haven on earth. Mathieu is a first class host that takes care of everything you need and more. Our room has an amazing view to the beautiful landscape and the pool. Excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the pool. Only 10 min easy walk to the center of Tourette Sur Loop"

"Once in a while you get to stay at a B&B that is the result of a dream and vision of the owner. This is one of those magical places. It is evident in the details of beauty, comfort and downright swank of every corner and view. The hotel is a short drive from Nice and easy walking distance to a tiny ancient village with lovely restaurants. That being said, Matthew is a chef and breakfast was to die for. We loved the family hosting us and their graciousness. I WILL be back and I'm bringing some friends! This time Matthew will do at least one dinner by the pool please and I won't forget to make reservations at My Ami Paul's. Can't say enough!"
"Nothing not to love"
"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."

"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."

"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."
"Aucun."
"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🤗"
"Next time we will rent a Car. A stay can easily be done without one, as the city and restaurents are within a short walking distance, but the freedom and opportunities are just a little easier with a car or bicycles."
