That’s what Richard and this cottage is all about. Everything, and I mean everything, is as we see in the photos. What we can’t see in the photos is the quality of the bed linens. The stairs to the bedroom could be difficult for some, but I’m 80 years old and managed fine. The garden is drop dead gorgeous. Richard is the perfect host. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The old section of Vence is a legitimate 15-minute walk. There are two supermarkets about a 10-minute walk, although the first 150 meters is very steep.. Vence has everything one would expect to find in a classic French town. Boulangerie, patisserie, specialty cheese, wine, charcuterie and butcher shops. If you don’t have a great time, it’ll be your fault.
