Bright sunny 1 bedroom apartment "Lou Messugo" sleeps up to 4 people and is attached to, but fully independent of, our beautiful Provencal family home in the world-famous French Riviera. Set in a large garden with swimming pool on a no-through road, this tranquil setting is only a few minutes' walk to the local town centre with all amenities.
The apartment has 1 bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a double sofa bed, a beautiful modern bathroom with large shower, a kitchenette (with 2 ring hob, oven, microwave/grill, fridge & all necessary equipment for cooking your own meals) satellite TV, hifi with USB connexion, WIFI (free & unlimited), sunny patio with BBQ and sun loungers. We provide all linen and bath towels. Pool towels are available at an extra cost if required.
On site we have a range of facilities including a large trampoline, pétanque (boules) pitch, table tennis, badminton and of course there is the fabulous pool (open roughly mid May to mid September, weather dependent, not heated).
To make life easy we can provide most necessary equipment for travelling with babies/toddlers such as a travel cot, high chair, plastic plates/cutlery/cups, changing mat and a good selection of toys, books & games. We know just how much paraphernalia the smallest members of the family come with as we've been there!
We live on site and are available to help with language issues (booking restaurants, onward travel, tickets for events/trips etc) and we're always happy to advise on what to do in the area. We've lived here for nearly 10 years and spend as much time as possible exploring all the amazing things on offer, from canyoning, hiking, sailing, skiing, golf through to museums, art galleries, undiscovered country villages via shopping, restaurants and markets. Our kids have grown up here so we can suggest things to do with the little ones too. We love helping our guests get the most out of their time in our beautiful part of the world and we love hearing all about your travels too. But we are also sensitive to our guests need for privacy so if you want to be left alone that's absolutely fine too. You're fully independent of us so it's up to you how much contact you want.
In the apartment you'll find plenty of brochures for local attractions, a large-scale map of the area, guide books in French and English and a selection of novels (many of them set in the area) for you to borrow and swap. We can provide hiking maps, picnic sets, parasols for the beach, most things to make your holiday fun, just ask!!
This part of France is gorgeous at any time of year and our proximity to the mountains means Lou Messugo can even be used as a base for days out skiing or show-shoe trekking. Winter is mild and short with plenty of sun and midday temperatures often getting up to 18°c (65°F) in January making it possible to sit out on a sunny restaurant terrace for lunch even in mid-winter! The apartment is fully heated for a cosy stay in the cooler months.

The town of Roquefort les Pins has everything you require on a daily basis with 2 delicious bakeries (for those buttery croissants, pain au chocolats and crunchy baguettes), an excellent supermarket, butchers, greengrocer, several delis, newsagents (with foreign papers), banks, cafés, several good restaurants (walking distance) and a weekly market.
The apartment is in a quiet "impasse" (no through road so no traffic) in a residential area surrounded by large family villas, all with big gardens. It is a calm and genuine local area that benefits from being close to forests and the countryside but walking distance to the town centre.
We are ideally located between mountains and sea, only 20-30 mins to beautiful beaches and the buzzing towns of Cannes & Nice and less than 1 hour to the nearest ski resort.
This area really does offer something for everyone: stunning scenery, adventure sports, beaches, shopping, hiking, mountain biking, golf, fabulous food, gorgeous medieval hill villages, art galleries and much much more.

A wonderful place to stay and a great position for exploring the French Riviera and mountain villages. We had an actioned packed holiday but were able to relax and feel at home when we returned each day to Lou Messugo. We highly recommend this accommodation and area.
Thank you Phoebe and Jeff for making us so welcome.
It's more like a hotel than an apartment - separate entrance, private car parking, discreet intrusive owners. Phoebe was really helpful pointing us to local walks and shops. The village is big enough to have two bakeries and a supermarket. The bus takes you to Nice and Grasse for 1.5 € and the mountains and sea are a short car drive. A great place to stay in the winter.
We stayed at Lou Messugo on a recent trip to the South of France and have only good things to say. The apartment is bright and sunny, with a lot of thoughtful touches that made our stay super easy and comfortable, including EV charging outside the front door. The kitchen is so well-equipped with everything you need to make a cup of tea and breakfast (BYO baguettes and croissants from the local boulangerie). Lots of room for us, travelling as a couple. We enjoyed sitting out on the sunny terrace when we got back from a day's sightseeing. The gîte is well-located within easy driving distance of so many lovely hill towns as well as all the beach towns of the Côte d'Azur. And the host, Phoebe is English (among other nationalities!) and a treasure trove of local information. Highly recommend.
