Holiday Villa Rentals in and around Antibes
About midway along the French Riviera, between the glitz of Cannes and grandeur of Nice, you'll find the historic port town of Antibes and the famous Cap d'Antibes. Smaller but perhaps more authentic than its neighbours, Antibes is predominantly a port, with the entrance to the harbour guarded by ancient ramparts. Today Antibes supports a substantial yacht charter business which gives the old town a lively 'lived-in' atmosphere, buzzing with restaurants, bars and music venues which go on into the early hours. Sunrise over the ramparts is a transcendental experience as you follow the path along the old sea walls and look out across the still waters of the Mediterranean. The pretty beach of La Garoupe brings you to the edge of town and the Cap d'Antibes, one of the most sought after addresses of the Cote d'Azur. Better beaches are to be found heading west to the seaside resort of Juan les Pins famous for its annual Jazz Festival and lively nightlife.
