While visiting Nice last weekend, we were lucky enough to stay in holiday villas that belong to my brother and sister in law.
Sabrina and Jean Paul have created Respelido, a beautiful property hidden in the hills above Nice. Behind these stylish gates are a handful of small villas set in beautiful gardens with a magnificent pool.
Respelido was created by Sabrina and Jean-Paul about 10 years ago, and they are present every day, ready to welcome their guests.
Jean Paul's family has always been on this land. The trees planted to landscape Respelido came from his family property, and many of the olive, palm and eucalyptus trees are between 200- 300 years old.

Respelido is the sort of place where a family can relax, and where a couple can unwind. Guests are discreet, the welcome is friendly, the villas impeccable without being too precious. Sabrina chose beautiful local tiles for the bathrooms and kitchens, and employed local black smiths to create the forged iron pergolas over each terrace as well as the intricate gates.
Each villa has its own totally private garden, with garden furniture. Near the pool there is a sauna and jacuzzi which my youngest two had all to themselves.
Would we recommend it to friends? In a heartbeat.
If you stop off there, be sure to say that you're one of my blogger friends.
Sabrina will make you doubly welcome!
