Our location

The FrogS’ House is located in the gorgeous medieval village of Saint-Jeannet, the kind of French village we all fantasise about living in, where people leave their front doors and cars unlocked, children play in total safety in the village square, and everyone says “Bonjour” to you even if they’ve never met you.

We are only 15 kilometres away from Nice Côte d’Azur airport and the French Riviera. Yet it is so much quieter and more relaxing here than the hustle on the beach! At 450 meters of altitude you will have breath-taking views of the Mediterranean sea and the Côte d’Azur all the way from the Italian border to Saint-Tropez. To the North and East lie the majestic French Alps - you can ski an hour and a half’s drive away from here! - and to the west, their rolling foothills and low-lying mountain ranges trickling into the Mediterranean, setting the scene for spectacular and all so varied sunrises and sunsets year round.

Accommodation

You’ll be staying in a 19th century guest house beautifully renovated by the owners, with help from their dads. It has 6 ensuite rooms with double or twin bed configurations (see below). There is WIFI throughout the house, as well as a fully equipped kitchen, a meditation and massage room, a sunny terrace, and of course a yoga studio, all at your disposal throughout your stay. Off-road parking in the village car park is possible free of charge with a token that you’ll be given for the week.

​

Our yoga studio

We have a beautifully designed yoga studio on the top floor of the house, with views of one of the majestic cliffs overlooking the village. The addition of the studio was a labour of love for the owner, Benoit, who really wanted to create a house dedicated to offering yoga retreats.

​

Views

Of our 6 rooms 3 have sea views and balconies, 1 has sea view but no balcony and 2 have views of the majestic cliffs that we will be climbing on day 2 of the retreat, and that give our village its fame amongst the hilltop villages of the French Riviera.
