Country estate Villa l'Abricot
Breil sur Roya, France

  version française

The village of Breil sur Roya lies in south France 50 km NNE of Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The estate is close to the border of Italy, at 20 km from the coast and beaches of the Mediterranean sea, and 35 km from the excellent ski resort Limone Italy. It lies close to everything that the French and Italian Riviera has to offer.
There is a railway station at the village, with connection via Nice and Ventimiglia to Monaco and other international destinations.

We offer guest accommodation in 2 units, an upstairs unit with independant access, and a separate annex-maisonette which also includes an equipped outdoor covered kitchen and pizza oven. There are chickens too (so fresh eggs every day!), and of course a large swimming pool with outdoor shower.
Each unit can sleep upto 4 persons.

The village borders communal forests and the Natural Reserve Park Mercantour with the Vallée des Merveilles, and has many mountain hike tracks, and massive old forts from WW2 built on mountain tops. Close by the medieval villages of Saorge, La Brigue, and Sospel. The river makes a good place for fishing trout.
The community encompasses the Maglia gorge, famous for canyoning visitors from around the world. Kayaking is also done on the rapids of the river Roya.
The property overlooks the village (15-20 minute walk to the village) and has many fruit, nut and olive trees. The main area is fenced (to keep children in and animals out) but the whole property extends into the adjoining forest. There is no through or passing traffic, only the sounds of nature.
